BOSTON – A new study finds that a healthy diet may reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease in people with type 2 diabetes.
Previous research has linked type 2 diabetes to Alzheimer’s disease.
Texas A&M University Scientist wanted to find out whether diet influences the development of Alzheimer’s disease in diabetic patients.
A study of mice found that inflammation that starts in the intestine travels through the liver to the brain, where it can cause a buildup of proteins associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
The good news, researchers say, is that you may be able to lower your risk of Alzheimer’s disease by eating a healthy diet and avoiding type 2 diabetes altogether or better managing your blood sugar levels. said.
