Alzheimer's study finds certain diets linked to fewer signs of disease in brain
A new study suggests people who eat lots green leafy vegetables may have fewer signs of Alzheimer’s disease than those who don't. Eating fruit, whole grains, olive oil, beans, nuts and fish were also "associated" with having lower levels of proteins linked to the disease in the brain, the researchers say.
MIND also prioritises berries over other fruit and recommends one or more servings of fish per week, while both diets recommend small amounts of wine. Study author Puja Agarwal of RUSH University in Chicago said the results are "exciting" but added: “future studies are needed to establish our findings further."
Their brains were examined post-mortem to determine the amounts of amyloid plaques and tau tangles, which are both found in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease but may also be found in the brains of older people with normal cognition. Researchers then ranked the quality of diet for each person by looking back at the food questionnaires which were collected.
