There are more than five million people with Alzheimer’s disease, and these numbers are constantly increasing, and the cause of the disease is not known so far, but it is believed that the disease is related to the lifestyles we live.
Nutritional research indicates the importance of a healthy, balanced diet to support brain health and function.
Recent research also indicates a group of foods that can raise brain metabolism to fight dementia, Alzheimer’s and memory impairment, so we refer in this article to new lights about the relationship of grapes to brain health.
As low brain metabolic activity is an advantage for early Alzheimer’s patients, the results of the study showed that a diet high in grapes for about six months will protect the metabolic activity of brain regions from declining, according to the method website.
A diet high in grapes showed a significant increase in the activity of brain processes associated with attention, performance, and working memory, compared to diets without grapes.
This boosting brain activity will fight Alzheimer’s, given that the disease is linked to a decline in memory and cognitive skills.
The study showed improved cerebral metabolic and cognitive performance of some patients with symptoms of dementia six months after introducing 2 cups of grapes daily to their diet.
Grape polyphenols enhance antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Brain health research has indicated grapes as a supporter that prevents brain oxidative stress, which supports and enhances blood perfusion, thus improving memory and fighting inflammation.
