Image While current medications can alleviate some of the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, there is no cure for the disease.

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, the hallmark of which is a progressive loss of memory function as well as other cognitive abilities.People with the disease may also experience emotional disturbances such as depression and anxiety. Many people with Alzheimer's disease eventually become dependent on others for help in performing even the most basic activities required for daily living such as bathing, getting around inside the home, and eating.

Oxidative Stress is a prime contributor to Cognitive Decline and Alzheimer's Disease in Older People, in addition to the Chronic Inflammatory Response Trigered by the Beta Amyloid Plaques so Deposited in the Human Brain.

Oxidative Stress can be a result of Zinc deficiency/excess; since zinc is both an antioxidant and a prooxidant, capable of either accepting or donating electrons to gain stability. It can also be  a result of hyperhomocysteinaemia, Apo E and Dyslipidemia related hypoxia, as well as from imbalances in the concentration of a number of metals and endogenous chemicals that normally protect the brain from oxidative stress.

Normally, the brain is protected from oxidative stress by GLUTATHIONE, a tri-peptide synthesized from three amino acids. L-Glycine, L-Cysteine and L-Glutamate; of which only L-Cysteine is essential.(Semi-essential)

The synthesis of GLUTATHIONE, however, is CATALYZED by VITAMIN D in the human body. 

Sunshine and Milk provides us with VITAMIN D. Milk and Red Pepper provides us with L-Cysteine. Peppers also provides us with natural anti-inflammatory alkaloids capable of crossing the blood brain barrier.

And so, Adequate SUNSHINE EXPOSURE, Drinking a lot of good quality Milk or taking VITAMIN D supplement will offer protection and also improve COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT IN EARLY, MILD or MODERATE Alzheimer's DISEASE.

First and Foremost there is precipitation of Soluble Amyloid Beta 40 / 42 as Beta Amyloid Plaques in the presence of Oxidative Stress.




Secondly, The Beta Amyloid Plaques so deposited, triggers an inflammatory response; during which phase C-Reactive Protein, Tumor Necrosis factor, NFKappa Beta, and other mediators of inflammation rises in their levels.





Thirdly, The Inflammatory Response Triggered by the Beta Amyloid Plaques, so Deposited in the Brain, ultimately leads to the formation of hyper phosphorylated Tau proteins/neurofibrillary tangles that obstructs nutrient and oxygen supply to the brain and causing progressive ischemic atrophy.



 



The 1st Phase can be disrupted by ANTIOXIDANTS THAT CAN CROSS THE BLOOD BRAIN BARRIER: e.g. Astaxanthin, Glutathione, High Dose Resveratrol, Curcumin from Turmeric or Withania somnifera root extract.




The 2nd Phase can be disrupted by NATURAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY COMPOUNDS THAT CAN CROSS THE BLOOD BRAIN BARRIER: e.g. Astaxanthin, Anatabine and Curcumin from Turmeric..

Glutathione is a compound containing three amino acids, glutamate, cysteine and glycine. Really, you won't discover glutathione(GSH) in any sustenance sources as it is an endogenous cancer prevention agent, it is made just by our bodies. 

Numerous sustenance's contain elevated amounts of Glutathione Peroxidase(GPx), a characteristic cancer prevention agent and hostile to cancer-causing agents which our bodies proselyte to Glutathione (GSH). Glutathione does not only guide human cells in working regularly and easily, additionally it flushes chemicals and poisons through the liver. Glutathione may assist the body with repair of harm brought on by anxiety, less than stellar eating routine, introduction to poisons, and other injury. 
The end goal to get the most glutathione from products of the soil, is to devour them new, not cooked or prepared just as the disciples did. Cooking and preparing will diminish the bioavailability of glutathione in these sustenances. Furthermore, glutathione levels fluctuate broadly among leafy foods because of natural variables and the plant's period of advancement. Foods grown from the ground containing the most glutathione per serving include: garlic, crude eggs, broccoli, avocado, tomatoes, spinach, asparagus, potatoes, peppers, carrots, onion, squash, grapefruit, apples, oranges, peaches bananas and melon. 
Cabbage, Brussels sprouts and kale are additionally great sources. 
Milk thorn, which contains silyarmin, is another effective cell reinforcement that prevents the exhaustion of glutathione in the body. Silyarmin serves to prevent the consumption of glutathione in the liver. Glutathione is fundamental for the liver to detoxify unsafe substances. In the event that the liver is harmed, glutathione focuses on generously protecting the Liver. Thus, the liver turns out to be more defenseless to further harm, making glutathione a crucial component in the liver's wellbeing. 
Cumin likewise can build tissue levels of glutathione. Cumin goes about as a coupling operator, hoisting glutamate-cysteine edifices amid quality expression. 
The Indian flavor turmeric may additionally expand glutathione levels. 
Selenium is an essential co-component for the catalyst type of glutathione. Selenium is vital for development of glutathione containing compounds. Therefore, devouring nourishments rich in selenium will advance the generation of glutathione. These sustenances incluide oats, oats, Brazil nuts, walnuts, vegetables, and eggs. 
Alpha lipoic Acid, or ALA (Omega 3's), advances the blend of glutathione inside of the body, in this manner expanding glutathione levels. Sustenances rich in alpha lipoic corrosive include: Hemp Seeds, Walnuts, Flax Seeds and Chia Seeds. Different sources include: spinach, tomatoes, peas, Brussels grows, beets, yams, carrots and broccoli. Eating these nourishments expands the bioavailability of this vital cell reinforcement.
