Eating spinach helps prevent dementia

Ulm University researchers conducted a comparative study of 74 patients with mild dementia and 158 healthy participants. The participants were between the ages of 65 and 90. They underwent neuropsychological tests and answered questions about their lifestyle. Blood tests were conducted and the body mass index was measured. It was found that there was a correlation between low levels of vitamins and beta-carotene and Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables such as spinach, carrots, and apricots help relieve symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.

New research leader, epidemiologist Professor Gabriele Nagel and neurologist Christine Anim found antioxidant vitamins for Alzheimer's disease patients compared to control group healthy participants Serum concentrations of C and β-carotene were significantly lower. However, there was no such difference in the levels of other antioxidants such as vitamin E, lycopene, and coenzyme Q10 between the two groups of participants.

Dr. Nagel said that while the results of this new study will require more longitudinal studies, new research shows that fruits and vegetables can play an important role in combating Alzheimer's disease. Citrus fruits are rich in vitamin C, and carrots, spinach or apricots are rich in beta-carotene.

Scientists said that Alzheimer's symptoms include: forgetfulness, lack of sense of direction and cognitive decline, direct causes include: β-amyloid and other substances accumulated in the brain, aging brain nerve cells; nerve fiber degradation and synapse loss Wait. However, oxidative stress not only inhibits the body's use of oxygen, but also accelerates the progression of Alzheimer's disease. For this reason, German scientists launched the "feasibility study of antioxidants to prevent neurodegeneration (neurodegenosis)."

The new study was funded by the Ministry of Scientific Research and the Arts of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The results of the new study were published in the latest issue of the journal Alzheimer's Disease.
