One might think that the increasing impact of Alzheimer’s disease, and more broadly all dementias, on us older people is inevitable. A new study of 50 people showed the opposite, showing the effects of a 20-week program on improving memory, language and learning skills.
Growing evidence supports the argument that lifestyle has a significant impact on Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Against this background, the first randomized controlled clinical study, published in the journal AD in June 2024, provides an intensive and interdisciplinary program for AD patients Alzheimer’s disease research and treatment (1). The aim was to determine whether strong lifestyle changes could significantly slow the progression of cognitive impairment (learning, language) or dementia praecox in patients previously diagnosed with AD.
What are the risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease?
There are a variety of risk factors, some of which are modifiable, and about 40% of dementia cases, including those with Alzheimer’s disease, are caused or worsened by these factors. These factors include high blood pressure, smoking, type 2 diabetes, obesity, depression, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, emotional stress and social isolation. The mechanisms of AD are thought to include chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, insulin resistance, telomere shortening, and sympathetic system overactivity.
A large study (2) of people over 65 years old in Chicago has shown that eating a lot of vegetables reduced AD risk by 38%, and those who consumed omega 3 sources at least once a week had a reduced risk. 60%.
20 week program
In this study, several changes were proposed to 51 AD participants with an average age of 73.5 years:
The diet is mainly plant-based, rich in whole foods, little or unprocessed, rich in complex sugars, fiber, vitamins and minerals (fruits, vegetables, etc.).
