Alzheimer's Disease Treatment with Green Tea and Apple Juice By Linda J Bruton |
| Sunday, March 15, 2009 |
Alzheimer's disease is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative disease that adversely affects higher cortical functions in older adults. These features include the crust:
* Memory
* Ability to think
* Orientation
Any research that lends itself to the study of reducing the impact of the disease or stop the progression of this disease is worth note. Here are some recent results of research and give promising results in some of the most unlikely sources:
Apple juice can have a positive effect in Alzheimer patients
Written the article on the effects of apple juice in Alzheimer's disease, Qi Dai, MD, PhD, says, "We have found that frequent drinking of fruit and vegetable juices was associated with a substantially decreased risk of disease Alzheimer's disease. " Surprisingly, there has been an enormous amount of further research on the health benefits of polyphenols including flavonoids.
Early studies suggested that the polyphenols in green tea and fruit juice can be helpful in treating symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. There is more evidence the results of a recent clinical trial that the polyphenols in fruit juice may help combat Alzheimer's
Green tea is very popular in Japan and its consumption could be the cause of the lower percent of Japanese who have Alzheimer's disease. Japanese living in the United States and adopt the lifestyle of Americans showed the same percentage of Alzheimer's disease as Americans.
Drinking tea is thought to have an effect
A study by the University of Western Australia, School of Medicine and Pharmacology and the Western Australia Institute for Medical Research (WAIMR) confirmed the results that both tea intake and 4-O-acid methylgallic are consistent with the hypothesis that long-term regular ingestion of tea may have a favorable effect on blood pressure in older women. Green tea is particularly rich in polyphenols, which have activities consistent with blood pressure-lowering potential.
The herbal supplement industry and the manufacturers are making some dramatic claims for alternative remedies and cures for Alzheimer's disease. Recent findings confirm that the fruit juice in the treatment of dementia and Alzheimer's disease may be worth pursuing.
In the new study points out, any new treatment that could slow or even halt the progression of Alzheimer's disease could have a major impact on quality of life for patients, and reducing the staggering health care costs associated with the disease.
Marijuana shows promise in treating Alzheimer's disease
This is an interesting discovery that could usher in a new hippie movement as a scientist at the Scripps Research Institute found that the active ingredient in marijuana, tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, inhibits amyloid plaque formation. Amyloid plaque in the brain are the primary marker of Alzheimer's disease.
It can take many years for evidence of battery high enough for experts to reach consensus on a treatment for Alzheimer's. In the meantime, the Alzheimer's treatment will continue to rely on documented evidence.
