Yellow vegetables can help the elderly prevent dementia

An immunological study conducted in the Netherlands found that patients with Alzheimer's disease are prone to myocardial infarction. In other words, Alzheimer's disease and cerebrovascular dementia, which were previously thought to be unrelated, are actually related to arteriosclerosis, and arteriosclerosis can be prevented to some extent through diet.

A recent study was conducted by the Omiya Medical Center of the Japanese Autonomous Medical College. Researchers compared the diets of Alzheimer's patients and non-patients and found that Alzheimer's patients usually eat less yellow vegetables and fish, but eat a lot of meat.

Studies have pointed out that 65.4% of healthy elderly people in Japan take yellow vegetables as their main dietary source, but only 19% of Alzheimer's patients often eat yellow vegetables, and 60.7% of them even do not eat yellow vegetables even if they are on the table. At present, young people in Japan in their 20s and 30s do not like to eat yellow vegetables and fish, and the number of young people with dementia is increasing rapidly.

The secret that yellow vegetables can prevent Alzheimer’s disease is that the vitamin A and beta carotene rich in yellow vegetables can effectively prevent arteriosclerosis, thereby preventing Alzheimer’s disease. Typical yellow vegetables include: carrots, watermelon, sweet potatoes, old corn, pumpkin, leeks, etc.
