Is Nutrıtıon A Protector Factor From Alzheimer?

Approximately 75% of 35 million dementia patients worldwide are thought to have alzheimer's disease. in turkey, there are 250-300 thousand alzheimer's patients and it is estimated that this number will double in 20 years. sufficient and balanced nutrition is crucial for the prolongation of life and the increase in life quality. recent studies have shown that nutrition is effective in increasing the prevalence and incidence of alzheimer's. in this regard, we focus particularly on antioxidant substances such as vitamins a, c and e, which help to reduce oxidative stress, and vitamins of group b, which inhibit hyperhomocysteinemia. in some studies, increasing omega-3 fatty acid intake and decreasing total/saturated fat acid intake have also been associated with alzheimer's. as a result, throughout life fruit, vegetable and seafood rich nutrition is estimated to protect against alzheimer. more controlled scientific research is needed in this area.
