Genes are now highlighted as the connection between football, the military, and Alzheimer’s Disease.

Until scientists discover a way to prevent or successfully treat Alzheimer's disease, there may be dietary steps we can take to help prevent the disease. Vitamin D may be one of them.

A little bit of stress is a natural, normal body response that is actually in place for protection. However, chronic repeated stresses are detrimental to your health. Those people who are prone to stress have a greater risk of later developing Alzheimer’s disease and researchers with the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine may have pinpointed why this happens.

Zinc is an essential nutrient involved in many aspects of cellular metabolism. In the body, the highest levels of zinc are found in the brain. New research finds that zinc deprivation may be involved in the progression of memory loss associated with Alzheimer’s disease.

Most studies on dietary supplements are mixed. While foods rich in certain nutrients appear to be protective, taking those same vitamins in a pill often don’t have the same positive effect. The same may be true about taking antioxidant supplements in hopes of preventing Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

A protein found in brain and cerebrospinal fluid may be a marker for the disease.

Type 2 diabetes is known to increase the risk for Alzheimer’s disease. Recent research has found that insulin resistance also develops in the brains of patients with Alzheimer’s, which scientists sometimes call “brain diabetes.” This brain insulin signaling deficit results in learning and memory disability and could potentially be known as Type 3 Diabetes.

Stress and anxiety have a negative impact on the brain which is linked to memory loss and other neurological changes that are seen in Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital have found that mantra-based meditation can help increase cerebral blood flow and ultimately improve patients’ emotional state.

Amyloid beta is the main component of plaques associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Now, UCLA researchers have discovered intracellular mechanisms regulated by Vitamin D3, which may stimulate the immune system to clear the brain of this substance. They published their findings on March 6 in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease.

The research may be in its early stages, but it's promising: scientists have found a way to reverse memory loss in Alzheimer's in mice.
