Alzheimer’s Disease May be Prevented Throught Diet
Some scientists believe fruit juice could help prevent Alzheimer’s.A study is being launched to investigate possible links between diet and Alzheimer’s disease.
Researchers at the Alzheimer’s Society will look at the effects of fruit juice, red wine and oily fish on the incidence of mental illness.
They will analyse data from new and existing studies to see if a healthy “Mediterranean diet” could reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s.
The Mediterranean diet - rich in fruit, vegetables and cereals with some fish and alcohol and very little dairy and meat - has been generally viewed as good for health for some time.
Neil Hunt, chief executive of the Alzheimer’s Society, said there seemed to be evidence that it could be “extremely beneficial”.
The study’s first findings are expected in July.
