Alzheimer’s Cures
Alzheimer's disease is one of the effects of the massive buildup of sticky protein called beta-amyloid plaques and tangles of tau protein in the brain. Are associated with the progressive death of neurons, nerve cells critical for brain function.
These clumps and tangles begin to form early of life, while people are in their 30's and 40's. Often seen in the brains of adults of all ages showed no sign of Alzheimer's disease earlier. Problems just why they form and what triggers the transition to the outside there is still a mystery.
The problem identification of the exact causes of this deadly disease is debilitating the subject of much research into Alzheimer's disease and research.
So far, no cure for Alzheimer's disease but appears to be different ways of prevention, which are very promising.
One is the spice curcumin. Curcumin (diferulomethane) is a yellow pigment and powerful antioxidant polyphenolic identified with anti-inflammatory properties and anti cholesterol. It is found in the extracts organic solvent, the powdered root of turmeric, and is used in Indian curry.
Research of Alzheimer's disease tells us that there is a reduced age adjusted incidence and prevalence of the disease in India. In summary, Alzheimer's disease does not appear so often in India and the United States among people groups old. One possible explanation is that curry is an important component of the diet of Indians.
This possibility has made research on Alzheimer's for focus in turmeric, the ingredient that gives curry its color to gold.
Curcumin is a very interesting molecule that easily passes the blood-brain barrier and crosses into the brain. Initial investigations have shown that curcumin binds to and even exceeds amyloid protein deposits.
Curcumin is also a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. It appears that to reduce the damage caused by the accumulation of amyloid protein.
Studies in mice have shown Every day, small doses of curcumin had the best results. The equivalent dose of curcumin in humans would be about of 1200 to 1600 milligrams daily as a dietary supplement. This represents approximately one-half tablespoons tablespoon of spice powder. Surprisingly, higher doses had a benefit reduced.
Beneficial results in mice do not always translate into similar benefits for humans. The physiology of humans and mice differ in a number of ways. However, the mice are short-lived mammals with many parallels to humans. They are very useful in finding full life cycle of the disease.
Thus, curcumin is a safe, inexpensive and easy to use possible preventive AD. There are no known risk of falls. And Research Alzheimer's disease is to emphasize that in terms of their effectiveness at various levels, its low cost and safety profile through strong oral Curcumin is a candidate promising for the prevention of Alzheimer's or therapy.
Moreover, the curry can be delicious! And it's fun, learn to cook with curcumin!
There are several other promising ways of preventing Alzheimer's disease. If one could simply delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease for 5-6 years reduce the number of active cases in half!
Research on Alzheimer's is to teach us much about how to prevent, slow progression and / or delay its onset. For more information about how you can prevent the disease from ads, follow these links …
