“Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects memory, thinking, and behavior. It is the most common type of dementia. Alzheimer's is characterized by the gradual decline in cognitive abilities, leading to difficulties with daily tasks and eventually impacting a person's ability to communicate, walk, and swallow. https://www.google.com/search?q=alzheimer”
“Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by slow progressive loss of neurons in the central nervous system (CNS), which leads to deficits in specific brain functions (e.g. memory, movement, cognition) performed by the affected CNS region https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4794280/.”
“A nerve cell, also known as a neuron, is the fundamental unit of the nervous system. It's specialized to transmit information through electrical and chemical signals. These signals travel between different parts of the body, including the brain, spinal cord, and other organs, enabling everything from basic reflexes to complex thought. https://www.google.com/search?q=nerve+cell”
“The basic unit of communication in the nervous system is the nerve cell (neuron).”

Suggested: Alternative Treatment to help with the fight against
Alzheimer, as always, additional research is needed.
Legumes, Mushrooms, Berries, and spinach will help greatly in this battle with Alzheimer, we believe.
Legumes also contain antioxidants that can help protect against cell damage and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
Legumes are a family of plants that have the ability to fix nitrogen and produce pods with edible seeds.
What Are Pulses?
Pulses are the edible seeds of legume plants. In other words, all pulses are legumes, but not all legumes are considered pulses. They're generally dried seeds that were harvested from the pods of leguminous plants.
Pulses are an excellent source of protein, dietary fiber, complex carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. Pulses include lentils, chickpeas, dry peas, and various types of beans.

“In fact, lion’s mane mushroom and its extracts have been shown to reduce symptoms of memory loss in mice, as well as prevent neuronal damage caused by amyloid-beta plaques, which accumulate in the brain during Alzheimer’s disease.
A 2020 study of people with mild Alzheimer’s disease found that supplementation with 1 gram of lion’s mane mushroom daily for 49 weeks significantly improved cognitive test scores compared with a placebo
The ability of lion’s mane mushroom to promote nerve growth and protect the brain from Alzheimer’s-related damage may explain some of its beneficial effects on brain health.
However, it’s important to note that most of the research has been conducted on animals or in test tubes. Therefore, more human studies are needed. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/lions-mane-mushroom#depression-and-anxiety”
“Green and leafy vegetables. Broccoli, spinach and asparagus all contain vitamin B, a nutrient important for nerve regeneration and nerve function. Spinach, broccoli and kale also contain a micronutrient called alpha-lipoic acid that prevents nerve damage and improves nerve function.”
“Fruits. Eat at least one fruit daily to help heal damaged nerves. Berries, peaches, cherries, red grapes, oranges and watermelon, among others, are loaded with antioxidants, which help to decrease inflammation and reduce nerve damage. Plus, grapes, blueberries and cranberries have been found to be full of a powerful anti-inflammatory compound called resveratrol. “https://lluh.org/services/neuropathic-therapy-center/blog/six-great-plant-based-foods-fight-nerve-pain”
Berries:
“Berries are beneficial for nerve cells due to their high antioxidant content, which can help protect against nerve damage and promote nerve regeneration. These antioxidants, such as vitamin C and polyphenols, help reduce oxidative stress, a major contributor to nerve damage. Additionally, berries can positively influence signaling pathways involved in inflammation, cell survival, neurotransmission, and neuroplasticity. “
“Recent clinical research has demonstrated that berry fruits can prevent age-related neurodegenerative diseases and improve motor and cognitive functions. The berry fruits are also capable of modulating signaling pathways involved in inflammation, cell survival, neurotransmission and enhancing neuroplasticity. The neuroprotective effects of berry fruits on neurodegenerative diseases are related to phytochemicals such as anthocyanin, caffeic acid, catechin, quercetin, kaempferol and tannin. https://www.mayoclinic.org/nerve-cell-neuron/img-20007830”
“Many epidemiological studies have shown that regular flavonoid rich fruit intake is associated with delayed Parkinson's disease (PD), Alzheimer's disease (AD), ischemic diseases and aging effects (Ono et al., 2003; Savaskan et al., 2003; Marambaud et al., 2005; Alzheimer's Association, 2008; Pandey and Rizvi, 2009) https://www.mayoclinic.org/nerve-cell-neuron/img-20007830”
Also, Huntington Disease:
Huntington's disease (HD) is a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder that causes the progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain. This leads to a decline in motor, cognitive, and psychiatric functions. It's caused by a faulty gene on chromosome 4, and symptoms typically appear between the ages of 30 and 50, though they can appear earlier or later.
Analytic research was completed by Roberta D Cheatham, LMSW but a case study is needed.
