Eating plenty of folic acid -a B Vitamin found in oranges, lemons and green vegetables - decreased by half the risk of Alzheimer's disease, a study has suggested.Folic acid is a synthetic form of vitamin B used in supplements and fortified foods. Folate is a more complex structure that occurs naturally in foods. Generally, the term "folate" is used when referring to the B vitamins in this category. US National Institute on Aging experts monitored diets over seven years. They found adults who ate the daily recommended allowance of folates (B vitamin nutrients) had a reduced risk of the disease. UK researchers said the study added weight to previous suggestions folates could reduce Alzheimer's risk.The study is published in Alzheimer's and Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer's Association.

Folates have already been proven to reduce birth defects(neural tube defects) and research suggests that they are beneficial to warding off heart disease and strokes.They have also been shown to help modify levels of homocysteine - an amino acid found in the blood.Previous research has linked high levels of homocysteine to an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease as well as heart disease.

Silent inflammation is the root cause for many, if not most, of the chronic diseases of aging. Acute inflammation is the body's response to injury, illness, infection, and stress. Obesity has been determined to be a source of chronic, silent inflammation that leads to accelerated biological aging.

Age Management Medicine can help not only to alleviate the symptoms of acute inflammation, but to to avoid the devastating effects of chronic inflammation. The key is to discover early on if the patient is likely to develop, or already has, underlying inflammation. The evaluation process begins with a thorough patient medical history profile, including a complete nutritional analysis. There are other things that are simple to look for during a physical exam-things that do not even require a blood test; first among these is obesity. Obesity promotes inflammation and there is a direct relationship between Body Mass Index( BMI) and C- Reactive Protein( CRP )results. The obese have low- grade systemic inflammation, and with obesity having turned into a national epidemic, this provides yet another reason for patients to follow nutritional guidelines and partake in an exercise program.
