      Apple Juice Might Just Work

      Apple juice has been mentioned on the board a few times.
      Heres some evidence as to why that might be the case.

      Galantamine is the Lucid Dreamers miracle drug. Its also used for treatment of alzheimers.

      Apparently Apple Juice can also benefit alzheimer sufferers.

      DRINKING just two glasses of apple juice every day could delay the onset of Alzheimer’s disease, scientists have found.


      The miracle juice reduces the amount of a protein created in the brain which can impair memory.

      Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia, affecting 700,000 older people in Britain. The findings were welcomed last night by charities caring for victims of the incurable *disease, who said it reinforced the importance of a healthy diet.

      This study shows why it is so crucial for people to lead a healthy lifestyle
      Neil Hunt, chief executive of the Alzheimer’s Society

      Neil Hunt, chief executive of the Alzheimer’s Society, said: “This study shows why it is so crucial for people to lead a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet rich in antioxidants. Dementia is the condition people fear most in later life, yet many people do not know there are things you can do to *reduce your risk.

      “The best way is to exercise regularly, eat a balanced diet and to get your blood pressure and cholesterol checked regularly.”

      The study, published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, shows that drinking *apple juice helped mice to perform better at finding their way through a maze and prev*ented the decline in performance that was usually seen as they aged.

      Researchers chose apple juice for the trials rather than apples because the juice contains more vitamin C as well as polyphenols, which are antioxidants that can help to mop up dangerous chemicals known to damage cells in the body.

      Poly*phenols also help to increase blood flow and relax the arteries.

      Dr Thomas Shea, of the Centre for Cellular Neurobiology in Massachusetts, found that mice receiving the human equivalent of two glasses of apple juice a day for a month produced less beta-amyloid protein.

      This is responsible for forming the sticky plaques in the brain that are commonly found in people suffering from Alzheimer’s.

      Dr Shea said: “These findings suggest that regular consumption of *apple juice can not only help to keep one’s mind functioning at its best, but may also be able to delay key *aspects of Alzheimer’s disease.”

      Harriet Millward, deputy chief *executive of the Alzheimer’s Research Trust, said: “Could an apple a day keep Alzheimer’s at bay? We need far more research before we can be sure.

      “These findings add to evidence showing that a healthy diet is important for protecting against diseases like Alzheimer’s. Sales of apple juice are on the rise, suggesting that many of us may already be wise to its possible benefits.”

      The most advanced drugs currently in use focus on removing clumps of beta-amyloid protein in the hope of reversing or at least slowing the progression of the disease.

      I have been drinking a glass of apple juice before bed and it seems to help. Sometimes if i wake up in the middle of the night i'll drink a glass. It has seemed to improve the dream recall.
