Alzheimer's disease is one of the fastest growing diseases in the world, with one in every 3 seconds. It is estimated that there are currently 50 million people suffering from diseases, loss of thinking, memory and living ability in the world. By 2050 This figure is expected to exceed 130 million person-years.
Recent research shows that the most common dementia patients with Alzheimer's disease, the brain signal transduction compound acetylcholine less, the study also showed that blocking the acetylcholine receptor will damage learning and memory.Scientists have developed to prevent the decomposition of acetylcholine Drugs to fight dementia but the drug does not last long in the body and may be toxic to the liver, so another group of scientists believe that natural extracts will be a safer treatment option.
A study led by Beong Ou Lim, Korea's founding university, was recently published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, American Chemical Society. Their animal experiments show that blueberry vinegar has some effect on short-term memory enhancement in dementia mice, and vinegar reduces brain In the decomposition of acetylcholine, and increase one to maintain and create healthy neurons-related protein levels; in the maze test, cognitive function in mice also improved.
In fact, blueberry and other berries belong to strong antioxidant fruits. In the past, studies have shown that they can help to slow down aging, activate brain power, and even improve the memory by eating half a cup of blueberry every week. According to Wikipedia, Some scholars at International Longevity Conference have also released research details that show that some of the specific compounds in blueberries have a strong effect on the inhibition of brain function degeneration, and related diseases include Alzheimer's disease.
However, the "Cosmos" report emphasizes that although the new study specifically aims at improving the cognitive function of "dementia", it is only based on the current evidence that whether it is a healthy lifestyle or a diet improvement, there may not be any effect on alleviating Alzheimer's disease Large, "Annals of Internal Medicine" also has 4 independent papers that can not be relieved, but can not prevent the occurrence and progress of advanced dementia.
If the elders of the family are really unlucky enough to start showing signs of dementia, it may be best to spend time and patience with them to prevent the elderly from being socially isolated.
