Consumption of olive oil linked to lower Alzheimer’s risk

Adding olive oil to your diet could lower Alzheimer's risk as well as cardiovascular disease and cancer, new research suggests. Scientists studied more than 90,000 Americans for 28 years and found those who consumed olive oil daily reduced their risk of death from disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease by 29%. The results add to evidence that a diet featuring fruits, vegetables and healthy fats such as olive oil, plus lower consumption of processed meats, sugary drinks and desserts, decreases the risk of disease.

An early Alzheimer’s diagnosis is important

If you notice any of the warning signs of Alzheimer’s in yourself or someone you know, schedule an appointment with your doctor. An early diagnosis of Alzheimer's provides a range of benefits, including access to care and support services, the ability to explore treatments that may provide some relief of symptoms, and the chance to enroll in clinical trials.
