Observational analysis highlights diet changes that may improve symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, suggesting reduced oxidative stress.
Alzheimer’s disease is a type of dementia that causes neurodegeneration and memory loss that disrupts daily life. It is characterized by amyloid beta plaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles. Although there are medications to treat symptoms, Alzheimer’s has no cure. However, several modifications like environment and lifestyle changes may reduce the progression of AD by reducing levels of oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is a factor that is heavily involved in the Alzheimer’s pathway and results from an imbalance of reactive oxygen species. Therefore, this paper aims to highlight several beneficial diet changes that may improve the symptoms or slow the progression of AD.
