Preventing Alzheimer's

Beth Reardon, R.D, an integrative nutritionist at Duke Integrative Medicine says, " Alzheimer's begins when a protein in the brain, called CD40, sends out stress signals trigerring an inflammatory response that ultimately kill brain cells." A new study from the University of Illinois found that green peppers and celery are packed with a flavonoid called luteolin. Luteolin diminishes CD40's signals and inhibits inflammation in the brain, which protects the cells from dying.
