Without a cure for Alzheimer, what can we do?

Alzheimer; News from the web:

The only protective factors against Alzheimer’s known so far appear to be increased physical activity or memory training

However frustrating it may be, there still isn’t a cure for Alzheimer’s disease and even the improved and advance scanning of the brains only serves to confirm that the disease is at a certain stage but the medicine to work at removing the stored proteins proved to be ineffective as by that time the disease is already too far down the path.

Countries with early retirement show a higher incidence of Alzheimer, pointing to a possible impact of remaining active to slow down the disease. Other research however still needs to confirm those findings and it has also been suggested that memory training does only that…..train the memory in the particular exercise used.

We continue to bring you all the research, keep coming back and spread the news so we can extend our service.

Popcorn causes Alzheimer’s disease?

Alzheimer, News from the web:

Diacetyl, used to produce that buttery flavor in, among other foods, microwavable popcorn, may be a cause for Alzheimer’s disease.

University of Minnesota drug-design expert Robert Vince, PhD, and colleagues found that diacetyl causes brain proteins to misfold into the Alzheimer’s-linked form called beta amyloid. Vince’s team also found that diacetyl has an architecture similar to a substance that makes beta-amyloid proteins clump together in the brain — clumping being a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease.

Although other experts claim that popcorn itself can be considered a healthy food, putting the butter on it and shaking your salt pot to heavily will cancel out any nutritional benefits.

Strength training to prevent Alzheimer’s

News from the web:

Exercise is healthy and it is well known that staying active helps with preventing Alzheimer’s disease. New studies have however compared how well different forms of exercise were beneficial and it turns out that weight lifting or strength training is most helpful in fighting Alzheimer’s.

Two Proteins that cause Alzheimer’s

News from the web:

Still relatively little is known about exactly what makes Alzheimer’s disease destroy the brain. Now scientists have at least agreed that two proteins, that long have had separate research groups looking at them,  together are a major cause of Alzheimer’s and that our best bet to fight off Alzheimer’s may well be to prevent both proteins from developing their harmful works.
