Doctor Theerawat opens research on chili peppers, reducing the risk of Parkinson’s disease by 30% and slowing down ‘Alzheimer’s’
On September 25, Dr. Teerawat Hemajuta, Director of the Center for Emerging Health Sciences Faculty of Medicine Chulalongkorn University posted a Facebook page “Theerawat Hemajuta Thiravat Hemachudha” stating that just eating chili can help the brain
The story of chili probably goes back to the myth of cigarettes. This is a strange phenomenon that people who smoke, although dying from cancer, bronchial disease, air sacs and other diseases are enormous, suffering all the time, but they have less dementia and seem to be gradually deteriorating. slowly violent
but accidentally died before being able to follow clearly because of the danger and danger of cigarettes
Thus, it is hypothesized that cigarettes may contain certain substances that protect the brain. For example, nicotine And there is a long-term follow-up study of people who eat chili.
Reported in the Journal of Neurology (Annals of neurology) on May 9, 2013 found that Eating chili peppers (not peppers) lowers the risk of Parkinson’s disease. Peppers are in the Solanaceae family (capsicum and solanum), like tobacco. There is an enormous amount of evidence, at least 60 reports, that smokers are less likely to develop Parkinson’s. But no one wants to die of cancer. lung disease from smoking
The report draws attention to the fact that chili peppers are high in nicotine. So may have the same effect as smoking. We assessed 490 Parkinson’s patients compared to 644 normal people with respect to food intake and type of seasoning. People who consumed plants belonging to the Solanaceae family were found to be less likely to develop Parkinson’s disease. But the most important food type is chili. and reduce the risk by up to 30% Even tomatoes belong to the same family. But the benefits seem to be less than chili. This may be due to the fact that tomatoes have less nicotine content.
However, it is not known whether nicotine alone or with other substances. in chili that helps prevent Parkinson’s
Reports from the Alzheimer’s Association’s latest meeting. And this international conference in 2022 studied 654 percent of people with Alzheimer’s who died and performed brain autopsies. The pathology was severely identified according to the National Institute on Aging-Reagan criteria pathology, which included the presence of abnormal neuritic plaques and stage V/VI according to Braak & Braak staging.
All of these patients had a visit to the doctor in the two years before their death and their brain function was assessed with the MMSE test. A score of 24 or higher meant that cognitive function was still good. Help yourself and of all of them 59, or 9%, are their brain functioning good? It can be said that it is durable and flexible, even if the brain is damaged following death. Of the remaining 595, or 91%, working conditions were poor.
Although the healthy group was older at the last visit, 81.4 years versus 77.7 years (P=0.005), and possibly some more years of study, 16.5 years versus 15.1 years ( P=0.01) and also had less depressive states. going back more than two years From the last visit to the doctor was 17.5% vs 29.5% (P=0.05), but had more underlying medical conditions that required anticoagulants, 55.2% vs. 38.2% (P=0.01).
in the group with good brain function They found that 66.7% of lifelong smokers, compared to 45.7% in the bad brain group (P=0.002) and the healthy brain group. They also fell in the group who had smoked recently within the 30 days prior to their last test, 13.2% versus 4.6% (P=0.03).
When statistically reprocessed to a multivariate analysis instead of bivariate as above, it was still confirmed that the healthy, older group had longer school years. and thinner with a lower body mass index, or BMI, and a lifelong smoker and taking thrombolytic drugs or more antiplatelet drugs
taking an antiplatelet, aspirin, or thrombolytic drug In Alzheimer’s, OR=1.87, while lifelong smokers had OR=2.78.
Information on Cigarettes and Alzheimer’s Look in line with another recent report in Parkinson’s disease that found Cigarettes reduce the risk of disease by 40%.
The researchers, including doctors around the world and the doctors themselves, confirmed that smoking was not the solution. Alternatives, even though smoking, seem to make a damaged brain look more durable and similar to that of the brain. But the effects are many. And the surviving smokers, as reported in this report, are likely not as many in the general population.
For conclusion, use of fibrinolytics or antiplatelet drugs. may be interpreted by the research team as Has the effect of helping the brain to be more durable But this conclusion is interpreted from epidemiological follow-up only, there is no clear cause-and-effect relationship. The only thing regarding cigarettes is that when chili peppers with some nicotine content are harmless, they also work in Parkinson’s disease.
This is because the mechanisms of the two dementias are similar with the formation of twisted toxic proteins. Therefore, eating bell peppers, bell peppers, red, green, yellow, tomatoes, as well as hot peppers should be an important process that must be promoted as both can prevent and slow down the disease that has already occurred.
and stop smoking strictly, dig a hole for cigarettes to prevent others from continuing to smoke Stop now for yourself, your family, society and the Thai public health system.
Dementia examination details consists of a blood test Brain Performance Assessment by a Brain Psychologist It took regarding 40 minutes. Then, both parts of the data were processed, summarized and treated according to the severity of the disease and the symptoms present.
If there are no symptoms at all, or there are few, but it has already begun to be incubated, it must be prevented and slowed down immediately according to the severity.
intestinal microbiota examination It makes you aware of the full range of intestines, liver, brain and reflects the behavior, life and diet that must be practiced.
All of this is a proactive development plan to prevent and slow down Alzheimer’s disease (Sabai Brain Initiative).
