Their compound, which is intended to repair
brain damage that has already occurred, is a significant departure from current Alzheimer's treatments, which either slow the process of
cell death or
inhibit cholinesterase, an enzyme believed to break down a key neurotransmitter involved in learning and memory
development.
Researchers have discovered that fruit in general provides a boost to the
brain because specific properties contained in some fruits can
inhibit the
development of dementia, potentially hold off Alzheimer's, naturally increases the blood flow to the
brain, slow down the aging process specifically related to the
brain, and can reduce the risk of damage to
brain cells.
