Drinking juices frequently may cut Alzheimer’s risk
A study following almost 2,000 people for up to 10 years suggests drinking fruit and vegetable juices frequently may significantly cut the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
Apparently the risk was 76% lower for those who frequently drank juice (more than three times a week) compared to those who drank it less than once a week.
Harriet Millward, of the Alzheimer’s Research Trust, said, “Many scientists believe there is a link between the release of free radicals within the body and early changes to brain cells in people who ultimately go on to develop Alzheimer’s disease. Since fruit and vegetable juices are rich in antioxidants which ‘mop up’ free radicals, this interesting piece of research adds weight to this theory.”
