Vitamin E is an antioxidant

 Vitamin E was proposed as a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease many years ago. However, the effectiveness of the drug is not clear. Vitamin E is an antioxidant and neuroprotector and it has anti-inflammatory and hypocholesterolemic properties, driving to its importance for brain health. Moreover, the levels of vitamin E in Alzheimer’s disease patients are lower than in non-demented controls. Thus, vitamin E could be a good candidate to have beneficial effects against Alzheimer’s. However, evidence is consistent with a limited effectiveness of vitamin E in slowing progression of dementia; the information is mixed and inconclusive. The question is why does vitamin E fail to treat Alzheimer’s disease? In this paper we review the studies with and without positive results in Alzheimer’s disease and we discuss the reasons why vitamin E as treatment sometimes has positive results on cognition.

Alzheimer's - Mid-60s

 For most people with Alzheimer's—those who have the late-onset variety—symptoms first appear in their mid-60s. Signs of early-onset Alzheimer's begin between a person's 30s and mid-60s. The first symptoms of Alzheimer's vary from person to person. Symptoms may include memory loss, confusion or blurred vision, difficulty remembering things like dates, locations even phrases," said Dr Charles Taylor, Senior Director for Clinical Research at UCLA Medical Center, Los Angeles.  More than 90 percent don't recognize that they are sick enough yet before getting diagnosed with ALS by finding out it is caused because both brain cells stop dividing naturally." They can feel numbness every day without knowing why", "People start having these attacks when sleep becomes difficult. We've never known this until now. For most people with Alzheimer's—those who have the late-onset variety—symptoms first appear in their mid-60s. Signs of early-onset Alzheim

Pre dementia

  Eating sugar and refined carbs can cause pre-dementia and dementia. But cutting out the sugar and refined carbs and adding lots of fat can prevent, and even reverse, pre-dementia and early dementia. More recent studies show people with diabetes have a four-fold risk for developing Alzheimer's. And after 20 years in healthy populations, one study found that those who ate more whole grains had lower rates on their blood glucose levels." The Bottom Line: Eating fruits and vegetables has been shown to improve cognition and reduce your risks. A variety store (Vitamin World) offers this fruit salad recipe at no cost when you choose from five different ingredients including applesauce + dark chocolate..

There are hundreds if not thousands so many vitamins available but I've chosen three important ones here because they help protect against disease. Eating sugar and refine

Good foods

 Leafy Greens. Kale, collard greens, spinach, and Swiss chard are just some leafy greens high in essential B vitamins like folate and B9 that can help reduce depression, while also boosting cognition. It's clear to see why broccoli is an effective mood booster; it provides a wide range of health benefits—ranging from reducing anxiety and stress to strengthening the immune system, increasing metabolism via its fiber, helping with digestion (it makes good cheese), relieving stomach pain, speeding up hormone production, improving appetite control, combating inflammation, supporting hair growth as well on top - all without adding excess fat or calories.

Brain cells

 Alzheimer's disease is thought to be caused by the abnormal build-up of proteins in and around brain cells. One of the proteins involved is called amyloid, deposits of which form plaques around brain cells.  The other protein is called tau, deposits of which form tangles within brain cells. The researchers found that when neurons from people with Alzheimer no longer carried a high proportion (more than 75 per cent) or total amount – more like 20 per backbone outlier areas versus 10 — they started to have problems getting rid each new cell through their neural pathways properly. They began leaking into neighbouring grey matter structures first so as not lose concentration again on subsequent calls for help. A change in activity at one point could easily result an attack during meditation practice such was its impact on immune systems. But how much action there would ultimately take up after these initial damage attacks may vary wildly depending upon age and health conditions associ

Dementia

  Every 4 seconds someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease it's the most common cause of dementia affecting over 40000000 people worldwide and yet finding a cure is something that still eludes researchers today.  Dr Alice Alzheimer's a German psychiatrist first described the symptoms in 1901 when he noticed that a particular hospital patient had some peculiar problems including difficulty sleeping disturbed memory drastic mood changes and increasing confusion.  When the patient passed away Alzheimer's was able to do an autopsy and test his idea that perhaps her symptoms were caused by irregularities in the brain structure.  What he found beneath the microscope were visible differences in brain tissue in the form of misfolded proteins called plaques and neurofibrillary tangles those plaques and tangles work together to break down the brain structure.  Zacks arise when another protein in the fatty membranes surrounding nerve cells get sliced up by a particular enzyme
