Red wine and green tea to prevent Alzheimer's

A new study published in The Journal of Biological Chemistry should reassure those who love good wine (red) and tea lovers, especially the green one. In fact, according to the authors, these drinks could be two valuable allies in the fight against Alzheimer's. The "secret"? All about polyphenols. So far, probably nothing new. The beneficial effects of these substances on the body were already known, but this new study sought to analyze the mechanism of action. Shoes for Men Shop

The substances contained in green tea and red wine would act on a fundamental level in the development of Alzheimer's disease, preventing the formation of amyloid plaques, characteristics of the disease. Nigel Hooper and Jo Rushworth, del'Università of Leeds, together with their colleagues, have conducted laboratory experiments coming to identify the process by which the aggregates of amyloid proteins bind to nerve cells, causing their dysfunction and death. This mechanism could be interrottoproprio with EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) in green tea and resveratrol, contained in red wine. Shoes for Men Shop

These results emphasize the researchers themselves, offer a new potential target for drug development against the disease. This discovery is an important step in the fight against Alzheimer's disease as "increases our understanding of the cause and progression of the disease. E 'a mistake to think that Alzheimer' s disease is a natural component (process) of aging is a disease that we believe we can heal finding new opportunities for targeted treatment, such as this, "said Professor Hooper. Shoes for Men Shop

Still on the subject of prevention, another study published in the Journal of Alzheimer's, focuses on two other elements, which are considered particularly effective in preventing the onset of Alzheimer's disease. These are the omega 3 fatty acids and vitamin D. These two major components, play a key role of the immune system, stimulating the immune system and fighting against the amyloid plaques responsible for the disease.
