Alzheimer is a progressive brain disorder that gradually destroys memory and the ability to think and reason. Loss of memory and other such disabilities are its symptoms. Recent estimates show 4 million people in U.S. facing dementia due to it. The number would grow to 16 million by 2050.
Diets rich in folates reduce its risk. This has also been proved by a research that diets rich in folates helped older adults reducing risk of Alzheimer’s disease by half those consuming less than recommended dietary Allowances (RDA)
Folate lowers risk of heart diseases as well as it lowers homocysteine (which is the major cause heart disease). High homocysteine levels have also been associated with stroke and Alzheimer’s disease.
Fruits like oranges and bananas, dark leafy green vegetables, asparagus, broccoli, liver, and many types of beans and peas, including lima, lentil and garbanzo, as well as fortified breads and cereals forms a folate rich diet. Be sure to have at least five servings of fresh fruits and vegetables every day.
A recent research showed that apples also reduce risk of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease due to antioxidants that it contains. These anti-oxidants protects brain from any injury that might set off such diseases in future. However an estimate showed that Americans only eat approximately one-seventh of an apple per day, approximately.
Blueberries also reduce risk of mental diseases by fighting against mental capacities that starts declining. One can have a healthy blood flow if one chooses unsaturated fats. Healthy blood flow and blood vessels lessen the chance of brain damage due to strokes or compromised circulation.
