Vegetable Garden Favorite PREVENTS Alzheimer’s?!

Alzheimer’s disease is ravaging the lives – and independence – of older Americans every year. And it’s showing no signs of slowing down.
In fact, it’s estimated that nearly 6 MILLION Americans over the age of 65 are living with Alzheimer’s right now… with that number expected to skyrocket to 14 million by the year 2060!
It’s a statistic you or a loved one don’t want to be part of.
But today, I’m here to share some GREAT news in the fight against Alzheimer’s…
It’s news that you WON’T see or hear a peep about from Big Pharma…
New research suggests this ‘vegetable garden favorite’ could not only be a valuable weapon in the fight against Alzheimer’s… but that it could one day help PREVENT it!
According to the study conducted by researchers from the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, cucumbers can help prevent memory loss linked to aging and Alzheimer’s disease.
Yep, the same cucumbers you grown in your vegetable garden! (And aols in the aisles in your nearby grocery store.)
It’s no secret the cucumbers are good for you. To start, they are packed with water to keep you hydrated… fiber to keep you ‘regular’ … and are even loaded vitamins that help your vision, immune system, and your body’s vital organs.

While this is all great… you’re probably wondering what makes cucumbers so valuable for your brain?
See, cucumbers are packed with a compound called fisetin – which lab and animal studies have found that daily doses of fisetin protects against memory loss and helps slow and prevent cognitive impairments, including safeguarding precious memories.
But that’s not all…
This latest study around cucumbers also found that there was an improvement in cognitive function, despite the continued formation of amyloid plaques – which are brain proteins believed to be behind the development of Alzheimer’s.
Again, these findings are based on lab and animal studies. But these initial findings are very promising, and I’ll be sure to monitor when (and if) they are tested with humans.
In the meantime, if you’re keen to eating cucumbers… keep it going! They are a great topping for salads, and even taste great with a little balsamic vinegar.
If Alzheimer’s runs in your family, be sure to have on-going conversations with your doctor about the proper prevention plan that works best for you.
