Several diseases have been classified as neurodegenerative disorders. Many forms of dementia fall under this class. Alzheimer’s disease is the best example for this kind of neuro disorder. This disease is characterized by total loss of memory. This disease usually affects people over the age of 65. Early onset of Alzheimer’s disease before the age of 40 is rare. Women are more susceptible to the development of this fatal form of dementia as compared to men. This gender difference has not been properly explained. Some preventive measures can be taken. Some foods have been shown to have the ability to counter the onset of Alzheimer’s disease.
Coffee Helps
Coffee is a popular beverage and has been seen to reduce the risk for the development of diabetes as well as for Parkinson’s disease. Recent studies indicate that drinking coffee regularly reduces the levels of plaque in the brain. The accumulation of toxic beta amyloid protein in the form of plaques has been blamed for the development of Alzheimer’s disease. Only caffeinated coffee is having this protective effect. Decaffeinated coffee is bereft of this benefit indicating that caffeine may be responsible for the protection offered against Alzheimer’s disease.
