Juices Warding Off Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's And Juice
Drinking fruit or vegetable juice may be better for you than you think. New research shows it may delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease.
Seattle researchers followed nearly 2,000 adults including for 10 years. They found drinking fruit or vegetable juice more than three times a week cuts the risk of developing Alzheimer's by 76 percent compared to drinking it less than once a week.
And having juice once or twice a week reduced the risk by 16 percent.
"The theory is that the brain accumulates damage due to oxidation as we age, and if you can protect the brain from that damage you can protect the person from Alzheimer's disease and other causes of dementia," said Dr. Eric Larson of Group Health Cooperative.
Antioxidants fight that process. And there are more in juice than in the actual fruit or vegetable.
"It's everything, the core the outside, seeds, and everything is put into it," said Dr. Larson.
Researchers saw the protective benefits from any type of juice.
The study also found there are more antioxidants in juice than in vitamin C and E supplements.
