Home remedies

• Sage, the aptly names herb, is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Chinese sage root contains compounds similar to Alzheimer’s disease drugs,and just 50 microliters (.001690 fl oz) of sage oil extract significantly enhanced memory.
• Curcumin (the major component of Turmeric) prevents and slows down the progression of Alzheimer's Disease by eliminating amyloyd plaque buildup in the brain.
• A combination of Vitamin D3 and curcumin offers new treatment possibilities for Alzheimer's Disease.
• coconut and palm kernel oils naturally contained MCTs (Medium Chain Triglycerides). Metabolizing MCTs creates ketones. Recent research has shown that ketones help protect against Alzheimer`s Disease, Parkinson's Disease (PD), LS (Lou Gehrig's disease), Huntington's disease, Drug resistant epilepsy, Diabetes
• polyphenols : Berries, cherries, walnuts and seedsGreen are sources of polyfenols. Green tea extracts have been researched extensively over the past decade and are shown to dramatically lower the risk of Alzheimer`s disease and dementia. The main Polyphenol is epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG).
• An extract from Cinnamon inhibits the accumulation of the β-amyloid (Aβ) polypeptide assemblies that cause neuron destruction and result in the development of Alzheimer's Disease.
• Want to protect against the effects of Alzheimer's? Learn another language !
• It is believed that the nutrients in berries can prevent or delay the onset of Alzheimer’s Disease. Some of the key phytonutrients in berries are called anthocyanins. These are remarkable brain-boosting chemicals that can help you preserve your memory and clear up an occasional case of “brain fog.”
• The flavonoid fisetin in strawberries helps protect the leaves and fruit from insects. In the human body, it has been shown to protect neurons and combat Alzheimer's Disease. It is also considered to be a weapon against Prostate Cancer. And now researchers have discovered it can fight diabetes.
• Increase Your Acetylcholine Levels. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter essential to storing and recalling memories. A deficit of acetylcholine has been associated with increased risk of Alzheimer's disease. Among foods high in lecithin are egg yolks, whole wheat, soybeans, wheat germ and organ meats. Vegetables like Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and tomatoes contain high levels of choline, as do black beans, kidney beans, peanuts and peanut butter. Grains like oats, corn and barley are good sources of choline. Among fruits, bananas and oranges are rich in the substance. Butter, potatoes, sesame seeds and flax seeds are also good sources of choline. Ginseng root, also known as American ginseng, is an additional source of choline.
• Omega-3 fatty acids support synaptic plasticity and seem to positively affect the expression of several molecules related to learning and memory that are found on synapses. Excellent food sources include beans, olive oil, walnuts, winter squash, and fish. Fish and flaxseed oil supplements are also good sources of Omega-3's.
• Grape and grape extract compounds help protect against Alzheimer`s disease development.
• Alpha Glycerylphosphorylcholine (GPC) is a memory booster.
• Ginkgo Biloba may offer an improvement in brain function and memory recall.
• A moss extract, Huperzine A, is showing promise as a natural supplement which aids in preventing further memory loss. In a study of patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease, Huperzine A proved to be as effective as one of the most popular prescription medications.
• Eating an apple a day protects the brain from oxidative damage that causes neurodegenerative diseases such Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. This magical nutrient that acts as protection is quercetin, which is a phytonutrient.
• Bacopa is used to treat and prevent Epilepsy and Alzheimer's Disease.
• Lion's Mane Mushroom stimulates activity of the synthesis of nerve growth factor (NGF), prevents and ameliorates senile dementia.
