American scientists have conducted several studies on vegetable oils and reported that first-pressing olive oil can significantly reduce the risk of developing a disease called Alzheimer's disease. After the assumption was confirmed by experts who are engaged in the study of neurodegenerative diseases, the statement of the Americans can be considered not devoid of meaning.
For a long time at the University of Louisiana (USA), neuropathologists have studied possible ways of treating Alzheimer's disease, which is considered the most common form of dementia acquired with age (dementia). In the process of studying a complex disease, the investigator found that a substance called oleocanthal, which is contained in large quantities in olive oil, can prevent the occurrence of a dangerous disease. This substance helps to destroy the protein in the cells of brain tissue. A high protein concentration can trigger Alzheimer's disease, in a normal amount the protein, called beta amyloid, is not dangerous. Olive oil contains the substance oleokantal, which has an anti-inflammatory effect in the body and restores the normal balance of the beta-amyloid protein in the human nervous system.
If you look at the statistics, you can see that the inhabitants of the Mediterranean countries are the least affected by Alzheimer's disease. American experts argue that this pattern is related to the nutrition system of the inhabitants of the Mediterranean: olive oil is present in the daily diet of each person.
Alzheimer's disease - one of the most common diseases of the nervous system, in the risk group of which are people over 65 years. Each patient can have the disease in different ways, but the general symptoms are present in any case. The first manifestations of the disease are sometimes associated with nervous stress, depression, or the influence of age. At the earliest stage, patients are noted for memory disorder, irritability, confusion, and even aggression. Over time, the ability to understand what has been said and the ability to communicate clearly is violated.
At the moment, medicine can not explain the causes of Alzheimer's disease. Numerous studies show that the disease is associated with the formation of neurofibrillar clusters in the brain tissue. Modern therapy can only soften the symptoms and bring some relief to the patient, the methods of complete healing of medicine are still unknown.
In developed countries, Alzheimer's disease is one of the first places among those diseases that impose a burden on society. Several US companies are developing a drug that can alleviate the course of the disease, since at the moment there is simply no medicine that can cure Alzheimer's.
Among the ways to prevent Alzheimer's disease the most popular are stimulation of logical thinking, daily exercise, balanced nutrition. The Mediterranean diet, which can be considered a healthy food system, is the best way to prevent a dangerous disease. Fresh vegetables, sea fish and olive oil will help you feel better and avoid age-related diseases of the nervous system.
