How To Prevent Alzheimer's Disease


Alzheimer’s is a dreaded disease. Actually, it is considered by some researchers and doctors as the new diabetes.

Although we don't have a cure or a sure way to prevent it, here are some habits that may help:

Drink Apple Juice
A recent discovery from the researchers of the University of Massachusetts shows that drinking apple juice may help delay the occurrence of the feared Alzheimer’s disease. According to their study, those who drink apple juice each day produce less beta-amyloid, a small protein fragment which is responsible for forming the “senile plaques” which are often found on the brains of the persons affected by the disease.



Avoid Cigarettes and Alcohol
Studies prove that heavy smokers and drinkers are affected by Alzheimer’s disease earlier than those who do not engage in such habits.
