Alzheimer's disease cure is far from being discovered. Seeing that, experts are contemplating more on Alzheimer's disease prevention, including nutritional intervention.

The number of individuals to potentially develop Alzheimer's could increase in the coming decades. With cure still far from being grasped, researchers are focusing their attention on dietary approaches for prevention of cognitive decline.

The interest in nutritional intervention as part of Alzheimer's disease prevention has its root from the omega-3 fatty acids. It was discovered that patients with high omega-3 levels had been observed to have experienced an increased blood flow in specific regions of the brain. Such finding is important in understanding how nutrition affects the brain function.  

"This study is a major advance in demonstrating the value of nutritional intervention for brain health by using the latest brain imaging," News-Medical quoted George Perry, Ph.D., Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease as saying.

With the given correlation of nutrition and blood flow, experts are more confident that cognitive decline may soon be prevented. To further enhance the results, further explorations to the role of 'fish oil' fatty acids in mental health and brain physiology is needed.

Meanwhile, other suggested ways to prevent such cognitive decline includes eating fresh fruits and vegetables, according to Prevention. Berries, in particular, contains active components that help in fighting memory impairment associated with free radicals and beta-amyloid plaques in the brain.

Apart from fruits and vegetables, it is also believed that by having a reasonable amount of red wine or grape juice after dinner could help protect the brain from toxins. The oxidative effect could be lessened with the wine consumption.

Apart from food and drinks, having a strong social support could also help prevent Alzheimer's disease. A recent finding indicates that an active social life and a strong network of people may assist in decreasing the risk of Alzheimer's.
