Alzheimer’s disease (AD) appears to share most of the same risk factors associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease (CAD). These include higher LDL-C level, obesity, type 2 diabetes, hyper- tension, smoking, inactivity, and elevated serum homocysteine level. Moderate alcohol intake has long been known to cut the risk of CAD ... Athlerosclerosis and Alzheimer?s Disease

Fish is Brain Food Omega-3s appear to improve the conduction of electrolytes through cellular membranes. A diet low in omega-3s could impair the growth and functioning of neurons.1 The retina of the eye matures rapidly in the first 6 months after birth.

Don't Forget Fruits and Veggies Last month we discussed growing evidence linking insulin resistance and inactivity with an increased risk of developing Alzheimer?s disease. We also noted that the same risk factors for cardiovascular disease are increasingly linked to the development of Alzheimer?s disease and senility. In the September...
