Calorie Restriction May Prevent Alzheimer's
As numerous studies have surfaced linking Alzheimer's Disease to diabetes, it seems crucial that diabetics pay special attention to all Alzheimer's research. The newest findings are rather interesting: that calorie restriction may indeed prevent the disease. Perhaps it would also 'prevent' diabetes, which considering diet therapy is used so often for diabetes, is not altogether far-fetched.

The study, which appears in the July 2006 issue of the Journal of Biological Chemistry, is the first to show that restricting caloric intake, specifically carbohydrates, may prevent AD by triggering activity in the brain associated with Longevity.

"Both clinical and epidemiological evidence suggests that modification of lifestyle factors such as nutrition may prove crucial to Alzheimer's Disease management," says Giulio Maria Pasinetti, M.D., Ph.D., Professor of Psychiatry and Neuroscience, Director of the Neuroinflammation Research Center at Mount Sinai School of Medicine and lead author of the study. "This research, however, is the first to show a connection between nutrition and Alzheimer's Disease neuropathy by defining mechanistic pathways in the brain and scrutinizing biochemical functions. We hope these findings further unlock the mystery of Alzheimer's and bring hope to the millions of Americans suffering from this disease."

This definitely a theory worth exploring. For more information on the benefits of Calorie Restriction, please visit here.
