They have called it the disease of torture, and in fact ALS, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, gradually annihilates not only those who are affected, but also those who take care of them. In recent years we have unfortunately learned to know it for its connection to famous celebrities from the entertainment world, but above all from the world of sport. Despite the commendable efforts of doctors and researchers, this underhanded disease does not yet have 100% clear causes and origins. But we can, in our own small way, do a little more to try to prevent ALS. Even with simple daily operations, as suggested by our Experts.
Blood pressure
Almost all of ALS sufferers have very high blood pressure values in common. It is not a direct link, but neither is it a coincidence or a chance. We are talking about statistical data that unite the affected patients. A very important first step for its prevention is therefore to follow a balanced diet and do physical activity.
Beware of contact sports
As if it were not on the agenda, our attention must go to contact sports. The coronavirus has nothing to do with it, but American scholars have shown that boxing, wrestling and American football athletes are the most affected by ALS. Specifically, to unite them in the disease, the repeated blows suffered to the head. Repeated micro-injuries to the head can in fact lead to an increased risk of the disease.
Damn smoke
Prevent the LETTUCE even with simple daily operations such as giving up cigarettes. Nicotine is the negative protagonist which, by determining the increase in blood pressure, increases the chances of incurring the disease. Nicotine also releases glutamate, a substance that is absolutely harmful to our cellular and nervous system.
Eat lots of fruits and vegetables
The antioxidants contained in fruits and vegetables can help prevent ALS due to their natural function of fighting free radicals. A diet that includes the daily intake of the famous 5 portions of fruit and vegetables can in fact keep our arteries elastic and active, keeping us healthy and young. And allowing us to prevent ALS even with simple daily operations.
