Drinking fruit and vegetable juice more than 3 times a week can reduce your risk of developing Alzeimers Disease by an incredible 76% according to a US study.
An accumulation of so called “bad proteins” in the brain is thought to be responsible for the memory loss which marks Alzeimers. But Polyphenols, the naturally occuring anti oxidants found in fruit and vegetables can help by combating the dangerous compounds, known as free radicals, in the brain.
The US Study did not specify the types of juices to drink, but it is now well known that red and orange fruit and vegetables are particularily rich in anti oxidants.
But you shouldn’t cheat and use multi vitamins instead of fresh fruit juice – the study found that taking vitamin supplements didn’t have the same effect- only juices made from fresh fruit and vegetables give you the protection.
