The mediterranean diet as shelter against Alzheimer. The typical diet of the mediterranean ( “Mare Nostrum”) countries, in fact, is able to prevent people from this disease. It reduces the risk of having its terrible symptoms up to 68% othe total number of cases.
This is reported in the “Archives of Neurology” where some researchers from Columbia University ( New York, USA ) show the result of their study made on 1984 adults aged 76 on the average. The human “ samples “ were made a series of tests to check their health ( physical, neurologic, brain tests) and the quality of their diet. The participants’ adehesion to the principles of the mediterranean diet was then classified through a scale raging from 0 to 9. Some food habits resulted more similar to the mediterranean diet (reaching “top 3”), and they came out to be the most protective against Alzheimer: the risk drops about 70%.

Those who use the mediterranean diet only in part have the danger lowered of about 53%. Furthermore, olive oil, vegetables and a great deal of fruit soothe the symptoms of those who already suffer from Alzheimer.
