A recent study has found that consuming vitamin and fish oil can help in prevent brain disease Alzheimer’s.
However, it has also been found that consumption of fatty foods can shrink the brain size and can make one vulnerable to disease.

NEW YORK - Too much junk food shrinks the brain while a diet high in vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids prevents that shrinkage and helps stave off age-related brain diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, new research has shown.

The study, which was published in the journal Neurology, tracked 104 people in the United States over 12 years. The subjects were all aged 65 and above when the study was launched in 1989.

"The aim was to study the effects of age on dementia risk in people that don't have factors known to increase their risk at the time," said lead investigator Dr Gene Bowman.

In a nutshell, dementia is a symptom, and Alzheimer's disease is the cause of the symptom. When someone is told they have dementia, it means that they have significant memory problems as well as other cognitive difficulties, and that these problems are severe enough to get in the way of daily living.

The bad news for junk-food junkies is that those with diets high in artery-clogging trans fats were more likely to suffer brain shrinkage and performed poorer on cognitive tests.

Meanwhile, researchers found that people with healthier diets with lots of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins C, D and E, as well as all the B vitamins, showed less shrinkage of the brain.

"It is very exciting to think that people could potentially stop their brains from shrinking and keep them sharp by adjusting their diet," Dr Bowman said.

Drink coffee to keep Alzheimer's disease at bay

Four cups of coffee a day could keep Alzheimer's at bay. Drinking three to five coffees daily in middle age cuts the risk of developing the disease in old age by two-thirds, a study has found.
Other studies have hinted that caffeine can protect against dementia, but the latest research stands out because it charted people's consumption over the decades before dementia appeared rather than relying on them to remember their intake. Dr Susanne Sorensen, of the Alzheimer's Society, said: 'For years we've treated coffee as nothing more than a pleasant pick-me-up.'

Something very wrong is going on, something that is killing good people and causing untold suffering to families and communities around the world. Never has such a high percentage of us been afflicted with so many tragic and wasting illnesses.

Eating fish frequently lowers risk of stroke

PEOPLE who eat fish a few times each week are slightly less likely to suffer a stroke than those who eat only a little or none at all.
That is the conclusion of an analysis of 15 studies, each of which asked people how frequently they ate fish, then followed them for between four and 30 years to see who suffered a stroke.
"I think, overall, fish does provide a beneficial package of nutrients, in particular the omega-3s; that could explain this lower risk," said Dr Dariush Mozaffarian, a Harvard School of Public Health epidemiologist whose research was included in the analysis.

"A lot of the evidence suggests that about two to three servings per week is enough to get the benefit."
Close to 800,000 people in the United States suffer a stroke each year, and 136,000 die from it.
Smoking, drinking, being overweight and having high blood pressure and cholesterol are all linked to a higher risk of stroke.

Dr Susanna Larsson and Dr Nicola Orsini of the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden, wrote in the journal Stroke that omega-3 fatty- acids in fish might lower stroke risk through their positive effects on blood pressure and cholesterol.

Dr Mozaffarian said that vitamin D, selenium and certain types of proteins in fish may also have stroke-related benefits. Data for the analysis came from close to 400,000 people aged 30 to 103. The studies were done in the US, Europe, Japan and China.

Over anywhere from a few years to a few decades, about 9,400 people had a stroke. Eating three extra servings of fish each week was linked to a 6 per cent drop in stroke risk, which translates into one fewer stroke among a hundred people eating extra fish over a lifetime.
And the people in each study who ate the most fish were 12 per cent less likely to have a stroke than those that ate the least.
