Alzheimers

With so many people living longer these days, it is estimated that the number of older adults living with Alzheimer’s disease worldwide will increase from about twenty-six million today to about one hundred and six million by the year 2050. Researchers are looking for ways to help delay the onset of dementia. A new study finds increasing physical activity may make a difference.

The Mediterranean Diet Make Sense

There has been a great deal of news lately surrounding the Mediterranean diet. We know that this diet is definitely a big help when it comes to fighting heart disease and there are numerous reports that it can increase life expectancy. But, recently there have been several reports looking at whether it helps prevent Alzheimers Disease. The debate goes back and forth and certainly there has been some groundbreaking work from Columbia University looking into the matter. But, I think it is time to make a common sense point. No doubt, there is great reason to continue studies and to research this issue but while we are doing this research and learning more we should still take advantage of the other health benefits of this diet. If there is a decrease in Alzheimers that is yet another advantage.
