If you eat a lot of vegetables, fish and nuts, you can significantly reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease (Alzheimer's disease). Researchers at New York Columbia University found that out in a study. In addition, the consumption of tomatoes, lettuce and poultry can also have a positive effect. Be sure to avoid beef, animal offal and butter. Basically, a low-fat vegetable diet should be preferred. There are currently about 1.2 million people in Alzheimer's in Germany. For the study, the dietary habits of about 2150 people aged min. 65 years of age were observed.

At baseline, the subjects were not suffering from Alzheimer's. The observation period was four years. In the course of the study, 253 subjects fell ill with Alzheimer's disease. The researchers observed the study, a positive preventive effect with appropriate diet. The results of the study could serve as a basis for further research, the scientists said to the science journal "Archives of Neurology". After the diagnosis of Alzheimer's has been made, the life expectancy of patients in about seven to ten years, there are also cases in which the final stage is reached after four to five years.

From the point of view of naturopathy, the question arises as to whether the world's changing dietary habits leading to an increased intake of more meat and carbohydrates are partly responsible for the development of diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. Furthermore, it is believed that additives such as aluminum (eg in hygiene and personal care articles such as deodorant) can be deposited in the human organism in the so-called neurofibrils and cause Alzheimer's.

The results of the US scientists seem to confirm that a more natural way of life is beneficial to the organism, and a disease like Alzheimer's disease, which usually causes a great emotional burden for the social environment and relatives of those affected, combined with an immense care effort. can help avoid.
