A
“Western” diet rich source in meat and high-fat dairy puts people
at a bigger possibility of Alzheimer’s, researchers declare.
The
harsh warning comes from scientists who have also discovered that an
extra “Mediterranean” diet- of fruits, grains, vegetables,
low-fat dairy products, and fish- is associated with an extensively
reduced risk.
They
also found that diets with even lower meat content- like those found
in Japan, India and Nigeria – condensed the risk of Alzheimer’s
even further.
Speaking
from the Sunlight, nourishment and Health Research Centre in San
Francisco, he added: “Mounting evidence from ecological and
observational studies, indicates that the Western dietary pattern –
especially the large amount of meat – is strongly associated with
risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and other chronic diseases.
“While
the traditional Mediterranean diet is associated with about half the
risk for Alzheimer’s disease of the Western Diet, the traditional
diets of countries such as India, Japan, and Nigeria, with very low
meat consumption, are associated with an additional 50 percent
reduction in risk of Alzheimer’s.”
In
the UK, one person is diagnosed with dementia – caused by such
diseases as Alzheimer’s- every three minutes, with the state
costing the economy £23billion every year.
It
is the only reason of death still on the rise with 850,000 Britons
now suffering from dementia. That figure is expected to reach one
million by 2025.
