Good question Posted: 02-29-08 16:54pm
I'll tell you which vitamins you need to
take and then you decide if you want to
take vitamins or go to the source, fruits
and vegetables.
Treat Alzheimer's disease with Vitamin C
Taking about a vitamin which is a strong
antioxidant, this helps in preventing free
radical damage to our brain cells. At
times a combination of vitamin E and C is
known to have better results than just one
vitamin, this is probably because the
immunity system and energy levels are
boosted which does not allow Alzheimer's
to set in.
Folic Acid or Vitamin B for Alzheimer's
disease
The Folic acid is found to help keep
Alzheimer's at bay, with daily consumption
of about 400mg of this Vitamin. If a
person is not getting required amount of
this vitamin, study has found they are
more likely to contract Alzheimer's than
others who get enough of Folic acid from
their diets.
Vitamin E & B6 for Alzheimer's
disease
People who took regular multi vitamin
pills or followed a regulated and balanced
diet which had adequate amount of vitamin
E and B6 are also said to have cut down
the risk of getting Alzheimer's.
If you need the sources for those vitamins
then drop me an email and I'll get back to
you.

Curcumin Posted: 02-29-08 21:39pm
Hi Looptic,
This doesn't qualify as a
"fruit/vegetable", but I have heard that
curcumin, which is an ingredient in curry,
may help prevent Alzheimer's. I don't
know how true that statement is, but I
think there have been some preliminary
studies done that indicates curcumin may
help. I also know of a doctor at UCLA who
takes curcumin.
They initially got this idea because they
noticed that people from India had a low
rate of Alzheimer's - and a common food
they eat is curry. Curcumin has
anti-inflammatory effects, so
theoretically it could help Alzheimer's.
Do some research and see what you think.
Personally for me I have been taking some
curcumin pills, just in case as I figured
it can't really hurt, but only help you.
