Prevent Alzheimer’s symptoms by cutting out these common foods, study finds

There may be a connection between a common food group and Alzheimer’s disease.
There are more than 6 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s disease – a number that is anticipated to more than double by the year 2050. Scientists are doing research to learn more about the condition and how to prevent it.
A recent study from Bond University in Australia found that there may be a link between Alzheimer’s patients and habitually eating processed foods and meat items.
The study set out to examine daily dietary patterns of individuals with Alzheimer’s compared to those without the disease, looking for how nutrition plays a role, according to the National Library of Medicine.
There were 438 people in the study: 108 had Alzheimer’s while 330 did not.
It reveals a strong correlation between the Alzheimer’s patients and the daily consumption of processed food and meat items.
Specifically, those patients’ diets consisted of meats such as meat pies, hamburgers, ham, sausages, and beef. They consumed fewer fruits and vegetables like oranges, strawberries, avocado, and spinach.
The Alzheimer’s patients’ wine intake, both red and white, was lower compared to the healthy group.
Lead researcher Tahera Ahmed said in an article posted by Bond University she hopes people choose healthier habits based on the study’s findings. 
She said: “Alzheimer’s development in the brain begins in middle age and its effects can be attributed to an uncontrolled lifestyle from a younger age.” 
Alzheimer’s is a type of dementia that currently lacks a definitive treatment and cure. 
Until more comprehensive treatment becomes available, researchers are looking to discover how to reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s through modifications to one’s lifestyle.
