Menards Countertop Laminates

against Alzheimer

Obviously this must be done under the supervision and advice of your doctor: excessive vitamin intake, in fact, it hurts rather than do well.
New reassuring evidence on the role of vitamin B12 in the prevention of dementia come from Sweden. A study published in "Neurology" states that the presence of vitamin B12 in the blood protects and prevents the onset of Alzheimer's.
Research conducted by the research group of Dr. Hoosmand the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm has tracked for 7 years a group of elderly people aged between 65 and 79 years who did not have dementia at the beginning of the observation. Of the 271 volunteers, 17 developed the disease and all underwent regular blood tests. What has emerged is that those who do not have any signs of dementia have higher blood levels of vitamin B12, while those in the disease onset was found increased levels di un'altra molecola, l'omocisteina, ritenuta responsabile di problemi cardiaci, ictus e danni ...
e danni cerebrali, la cui concentrazione può essere tenuta a bada proprio dalla VITAMINA B12. Le due sostanze hanno una relazione quantitativa con l'insorgenza della malattia, difatti, per ogni micromole di omocisteina in eccesso il rischio diAlzheimer aumenta del 16%, mentre per ogni picomole in più della forma attiva di VITAMINA B12 il rischio diminuisce del 2%.

Certo la dimensione del campione è limitata ma questo lavoro si aggiunge ai già tanti che negli anni passati hanno correlato gli effetti protettiva della vitamina B e che lasciano sperare nello sviluppo of new therapies based VITAMINS B.
For example, a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and conducted by researchers at the University of Oxford, had demonstrated that in elderly patients with low levels of vitamin B12 fosseero neurological damage suffered twice as much as peers with the right amount vitamin.
Previous studies of the same team of researchers have shown how the wine and chocolate, in addition to milk, can cause beneficial effects similar to those shown by the milk.
British scholars are trying to determine if vitamin supplements can help solve the problems of memory.
Another study conducted by researchers University of Oxford, also directed by David Smith and published in the journal Neurology, was awarded the vitamin B12 as a key element for obtaining and preserving a good memory.
The researchers found that elderly patients with low levels of vitamin B12 are those most at risk of incurring real amnesia, with a risk six times greater for those who, instead, has a medium-high level of vitamin B12.
This study further showed, therefore, that it was a cliché to say that eating fish is good for the brain: Vitamin B12 is in fact in large amounts in fish, meat and milk and prevents neurologic deterioration. Another
research, published in "Neuropsychology", highlighting the relationship between genotype and the susceptibility of some older people with Alzheimer's disease. The genotype in question, the ε4 allele in the gene apolipoprotein E (APOE), is present in approximately 15% of people and is a risk factor for dementia. Research indicates that nearly one in four among those who have a copy 4 allele and nearly half the people who have two copies of the four will develop Alzheimer's disease.
is already known to the research, moreover, that low levels of two VITAMIN B, B12 and folate are linked to decreased memory and increased risk of being affected by Alzheimer's disease. Until now, few studies have examined the two factors together, and genotype VITAMINS, in relation to cognitive performance of those who reach older age. The study was conducted by researchers in Sweden and the UK on 167 healthy people, the average age of 83.
Each of the participants were engaged in the blood sample to check the levels of vitamins and genotype. Finally they have been subjected to a series of memory tests.
The study found that the combination of low levels of vitamin B12 allele and genotype 4 is associated with significantly less efficient with memory. The authors of the study also indicate that people from the genotype with the 4 allele may obtain substantial benefits for their cognitive abilities by taking the vitamins B12 and folate. It can be argued that taking more B vitamins can be an effective weapon prior to the health of those who have exceeded certain thresholds of age.
