C and E for A-L-Z
New research suggests that Vitamin C and Vitamin E supplements help reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s because of their ability to reduce inflammation.
For a group of elderly people at a high risk of Alzheimer’s because of a certain genetic makeup, the greatest benefit was found when they took ibuprofen in addition to these two supplements (the ibuprofen apparently reduced one of the causes of inflammation). I was glad to see that, according to the Reuters Health report on the study, researchers did acknowledge that ibuprofen can cause stomach ulcers.
At least the Vitamins C and E have side benefits, not side effects. I am certainly interested in knowing what I can do, that is otherwise safe and good for me, to reduce the risk of this health challenge!
