An Apple a Day to Keep the Alzheimer’s Away?

Remember the saying ‘an apple a day keeps the doctor away’. Well, it might not be the only thing it keeps away. Studies in the past few years have been looking into whether consuming apples helps reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

In 2005 researchers at Cornell University determined that the potent compounds in apples appear to ‘…protect the brain from damage and may even help to ward off Alzheimer’s disease’. (An Apple a Day for Alzheimer’s)

In 2006 research at the University of Masschusetts Lowell found that ‘…apple juice consumption may actually increase the production in the brain of the essential neurotransmitter acetycholine, resulting in improved memory’. (UMass Lowell research shows benefits of apple juice on neurotransmitter affecting memory)

Sounds like a reason to eat more apples and drink more apple juice to me…

Ruth at EatingFabulous.com has posted a great article on a study looking into the possibility of fruit and vegetable juices reducing Alzheimer’s risk. Published in the September issue of the American Journal of Medicine, this study found that people who drank fruit and vegetable juices three times a week or more had a 76% less chance of developing Alzheimer’s.

Ruth’s article is found at: http://www.eatingfabulous.com/drinking-fruit-juices-may-reduce-alzheimer-risk/ .

Mention of this study also is found in the Alzheimer’s Daily News (www.alznews.com), Aug. 31 issue, with more information at EruekAlert. Visit: http://www.eurekalert.org and click on “Breaking News.
