No one knows exactly what causes Alzheimer’s. We know some of the factors that contribute but we don’t know everything. It can possibly run in families. If it runs in yours or if you’re just concerned about it you might want to eat more grapes. This explains what they do for it.
Key Takeaways:
- A pilot study from the University of California shows that regular grape consumption could help to ward off Alzheimer’s disease by stimulating metabolic activity within the brain.
- The trial, funded by the California Table Grape Commission, reveals that consuming grapes twice a day for six months protected against significant metabolic decline in Alzheimer-related areas of the brain in a study of people with early memory decline.
- Additionally, those consuming a grape-enriched diet also exhibited increased metabolism in other areas of the brain that correlated with individual improvements in attention and working memory performance, compared to those on the non-grape diet.
“Research suggests that grapes may help support brain health by working in several ways – from reducing oxidative stress in the brain to promoting healthy blood flow, helping maintain levels of a key brain chemical that promotes memory and exerting anti-inflammatory effects.”
