A new study published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease (JAD) suggests that individuals with a high daily intake of antioxidant-rich fruit and veg also demonstrate higher cognitive performance.

Previous studies have shown that while antioxidants from food have a positive impact on your brain and can prevent cognitive decline, supplements do not appear to offer the same benefits.

It seems your brain is too smart to settle for second best, and the key for optimal brain health is FOOD based, and can likely not be duplicated by supplements alone.

Less well known, however, is a demonstrated link between high homocysteine and an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and dementia. So we return to the original question: Can vitamins(specifically, the ones mentioned above) help prevent Alzheimer's disease?

Early warning is one of the keys to success in treating most health complaints. This is especially true of Alzheimer's disease (AD) because studies have shown that treatment early on when symptoms first appear may have a significant impact on quality of life for patients and caregivers. A new study indicates that physical changes may be more accurate in predicting AD than the familiar red flags of cognitive decline.

In a previous e-alert I told you about Jane Durga, a nutritionist at Wageningen University in the Netherlands. As part of her Ph.D. research on the effects of folic acid (synthetic folate) among the elderly, she led an intervention study that resulted in very promising conclusions about the way folic acid supplements may play an important role in preserving memory.
