Alzheimer's
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a slowly progressive disease of the brain that is characterized by impairment of memory and eventually by disturbances in reasoning, planning, language, and perception. Many scientists believe that Alzheimer's disease results from an increase in the production or accumulation of a specific protein (beta-amyloid protein) in the brain that leads to nerve cell death.
Drinking apple juice helps slow the accumulation of the protein fragments that damage the brain in Alzheimer's disease.
The protein fragments, known as beta amyloidal, are the building blocks of the plaque that forms in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease. The finding doesn't suggest that Alzheimer's disease. Can be treated by gulping liters of apple juice, but they do point to the importance of long term nutrition in preventing ageing related changes like those Alzheimer's disease.
