Alzheimer’s and Nutrition: Eat Your Greens!

Celery, green pepper, and chamomile each contain a flavonoid called luteolin recently determined to be an anti-inflammatory chemical that could help treat brain
disorders like Alzheimer’s Disease.

While more research is required, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign reports it used luteolin to reduce brain inflammation (beta amyloids) in the brains of research mice.

So it can’t hurt to crunch down on celery sticks, strips of green bell peppers and enjoy a cup or three of chamomile tea every day.
