Diet Matters A Lot

Eating certain foods is the ultimate remedy for this dangerous disease. The Mediterranean diet is seen as the solution that seems to keep away the toxic plaques and the whole mess, which is associated with the growth of Alzheimer’s disease. Plaque gathers because of accumulation of toxic protein called beta-amyloid in the space that is created between the nerve cells of the brain. Deposits of tau protein are also found on the brain cells. Both are held responsible for the growth of Alzheimer’s disease. It was studied that the changes in the brain occur because of lifestyle factors that influence the abnormal proteins of the fragile people who are the sufferers. But these people were never diagnosed with dementia. Due to the age their brain seems to shrink in size and the reduced rate of reaction slows down in people with Alzheimer’s.
