Apples for Memory/Alzheimer's Disease
Article about the benefits of apples and apple juice for memory and Alzheimer's, among other things. Also mentions the use of coconut oil for A.D.
Quote:
The outdated apple a day keeps the doctor away adage has been replaced with fresh apple juice three times a week. This new routine was discovered after a ten-year study determined it helped Alzheimer's patients by greatly reducing the chance of Alzheimer's disease (AD) from even occurring. Another study uncovered heart health benefits.
The benefits
Dr. Thomas Shea, a neurobiologist, and his research team at the University of Massachusetts topped off years of studying apples' effects on brain health. They used test tubes, Petri dishes, and mice for years. Then recently, they confirmed their findings with a human clinical trial.
Twenty-one AD patients from ages 72 to 93 were fed four ounces of apple juice twice daily for thirty days. There were improvements with memory as well as the negative emotional moods normally associated with AD victims.
He concluded that by drinking apple juice only three times per week, you would reduce your chances of Alzheimer's by 75%.
