Dementia: how to reduce and delay the risk with two simple practices

Preventing depression is increasingly important: according to the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) by 2040 Italy will be the fourth largest country in the world depending on the number of people affected by this situation. Research continues to explore treatments, causes, and prevention options for depression, and recently study conducted by Xi’an Jiaotong University, China, and the University of Melbourne in Australia he identified two simple – but important – practices as important allies in the reduce and delay the development of dementia.

Two practices to prevent depression

According to the researchers eat fruit regularly e do regular physical activity it can delay the onset of dementia. The study came to this conclusion after a careful study which again confirmed it close connection between brain and gut health. Eat the right amount of fruit and exercise regularly they help improve gut healthand the intestinal microbiota and the nervous system can be affected: “This joint study between Australia and China found that the people with gut microbiota problems are more likely to have mental problems. When patients increased their intake of fruit and increased thephysical exercise there was an increase in the number and diversity of bacteria in their gut. This represents the first evidence of a simple intervention strategy for prevent and delay cognitive decline” we read in the note published by the researchers.

Again it is proved how much the gut health It is also important to keep it brain. The research showed, in fact, how those who were already suffering from mental problems a variety of “good” bacteria of the intestinal microbiota was much lower than in those who were in good health. In particular, eat fruit and do physical activity contributes to the development of 3 bacteria linked to brain health: Megamonas, Blautia and Veillonella. On the other hand, researchers have instead found a greater spread of the so-called “Gram” battery in patients with cognitive impairment: these bacteria, in fact, facilitate production amyloidsassociated with the development of Alzheimer’s.
