Researchers are experimenting with a kind of a Lifestyle pill that aims to prevent Alzheimer’s disease. You should include Spermidine, which is also found in foods
A Good Appetite: Hülsenfrücompressed contain a lot of Spermidine
An extract from Weizen­ can;germs from diseases such as Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s schüappreciate – or their outbreak is at least verzö? The group is currently studying Neurowissenscientists under the direction of Professor Agnes Flöel at the Berlin Charité.
Spermidine heißt the substance, the außhe germination in wheat is also in matured Käse, in soy products and Hülsenfrüwant in größeren quantities occurs. The menschavailable Köthe body also forms Spermidine. It helps the cells of old or beschädamaged parts of the cell to dispose of – and thus to stay young and healthy. If, however, it is also the Gedämemory and the Lernfäability can affect, if it üabout the food aufis taken now by the Bundesministerium für education and research geföthere needs to be Untersuchung "SmartAge" show.
Examples of foods that are high in spermidine content
Mature Käse, such as Parmesan
Wheat germ
Hülsenfrülike peas, beans and lentils
Study lässt hope
In this study, 100 people take every day for a year a capsule with Spermidin to dinner. The participants are äolder, healthy people whose Gedämemory of your Einschäthe establishment has deteriorated. The dreimonatige preliminary study, according to Flöel run promising: "There were no serious side effects. And neuropsychological Tests showed a trend towards improvements in the Gedächtnisperformance."
The cause of so-called neurodegenerativer diseases such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease are deposits in the brain cells. In order to eliminate them, i.e. Spermidine to the cells a kind of starvation mode. This brings you to deposited proteins and other krankto digest heitserregende cell components, and as a Näto use nutrients.
Brain cells in the starvation mode
The same effect köcould people, according to Flöel even by a reduced calorie intake. Spermidine zählt to the substances that the Köbody making, if he loses weight – so, for example, during fasting. Because that is not permanently endure, and just für äolder people, a low-calorie Diät is often not potential, ergäcoins, the researchers the food by Spermidine.
Such new Präventionsansätze be küin the future, probably even more important to win. Because up to the year 2050 köhumans, according to the German Alzheimer society of three million people with dementia will be affected. And the disease, in the Gedämemory creeping nachlässt, is so far not curable. Is spermidine, this according to the neurologist Flöel also not kö afford;can, but maybe this will help, the beginning of the disease, at least a couple of years hinauszuzö.
As the sole Maßsampling is probably not sufficient
Who hopes now, perhaps, küin the future, only a couple of pills and throw it in to müshot, in order not to be denied, is enttädisappointed: "Nahrungsergälike a very simple concept köcan a balanced Ernäcurrency and a healthy life-style will probably never ersetzen", stresses the researcher.
People have the impression that your mental Fäskills ließen, rät Professor Tobias Hartmann, scientific Director of the German Institute für Demenzprävention on the Universität des Saarlandes, möas frühat the same time, ämedical diagnosis must be obtained. "Behind it is always a an­ can;other cause, as, for example, Schilddrüsenprobleme, a Depression or a Vitamin B12 – Mangel. And you can easily therapieren", Alzheimer’s researchers, Hartmann says.
Further recommendations for dementia prevention
To dementia vorzubeu­ diseases;gen, recommended by the German society für neurology: Diabetes, Bluthigh-pressure and Ümountain guy, avoid social contacts and regelmäßig sports.
Also, the Mediterranean diet with lots of fruits, Gemüse, Hülsenfrüwant, fish and Nüshot is considered to be fö;. außerdem little sugar and very little red meat – everything Maßtook that also apply generally considered to be healthy. And even now, every heed.
