Cutting the Risk of Alzheimers by 40%

A study reported by Reuters suggests that diet can cut the risk of developing Alzheimer's by up to 40%.

A diet rich in olive oil, nuts, fish, poultry and certain fruits and vegetables may have a powerful effect at staving off Alzheimer's disease, researchers reported on Monday.

People who ate nutrients specifically selected for brain health had a 40 percent lower risk of developing Alzheimer's disease compared with others, Yian Gu, an Alzheimer's disease researcher at Columbia University in New York and colleagues found
.
"Diet is probably the easiest way to modify disease risk," said Gu, whose study appears in Archives of Neurology.
