* [[vitamin D]] removes toxins from the brain and helps break down a substance called amyloid-beta, which is a protein that plays a major role in the development of Alzheimer's disease.
*[[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.
* [[Olive Oil]] : oleocanthal from Extra-virgin [[Olive Oil]] has the potential to reduce the risk of AD or related neurodegenerative dementias.
* [[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 class of compounds found within turmeric known as curcuminoids enhance the amyloid-beta uptake of macrophages within Alzheimer’s disease patients. Amyloid-beta (Abeta) plaque is found in unnaturally elevated levels in neurodegenerative disorders such as AD, and is believed to contribute to the underlying disease process.
* A combination of [[Vitamin D]]3 and curcumin offers new treatment possibilities for Alzheimer's Disease.
