Absolutely everything we know about eating to prevent Alzheimer's disease

Not only do we need to eat to live, but many of us love to eat, whether for a special occasion or simply because it makes us feel good. It is not surprising that we are realizing more and more how nutrition is so closely linked to many diseases that did not seem at all related to nutrition.

Let me begin with a warning that there is no diet or supplement that can prevent Alzheimer's disease. However, it has become more evident in recent years that nutrition can play a role in the prevention and progression of Alzheimer's disease.

Although we do not know exactly how our eating habits can lead to Alzheimer's disease, we know that inflammation in the body and insulin resistance are related to its development, suggesting a link with food. In fact, some chronic diseases directly related to nutrition, such as obesity, heart disease and type 2 diabetes, are risk factors for Alzheimer's disease.

Researchers have found that diets rich in fats and sugars, usually the cause of the metabolic syndrome, also appear to cause the development of symptoms characteristic of Alzheimer's disease. The diseases that usually result from the metabolic syndrome, such as heart disease and diabetes, are also linked to chronic inflammation resulting from poor nutrition.

Given this connection between nutrition and Alzheimer's disease, let's take a closer look at what you should eat and what not to eat to prevent Alzheimer's disease.
