The study found that following certain dietary habits may reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease

Recently, it was published in the latest issue of ebiomedicine Researchers at Wake Forest School of medicine say that following a certain diet may affect the gut microbiota, thereby reducing the risk of Alzheimer's disease In a small trial (http:// researchers analyzed several different gut microbiome signals - chemicals produced by bacteria (http:// The study participants had mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and the researchers found that these bacterial signals were associated with higher levels of Alzheimer's disease markers in the CSF Through the cross group diet intervention, the study also showed that the Mediterranean ketogenic diet changed the intestinal microflora and its metabolites, which was related to the reduction of Alzheimer's disease markers in the two groups The randomized, double-blind, single point study involved 17 elderly people, 11 with mild cognitive impairment and 6 with normal cognition The participants were randomly assigned to follow a low carbohydrate modified Mediterranean ketogenic diet or a low-fat, high carbohydrate diet for six weeks, then switched to another diet after a six week "washout period." Before and after each diet, intestinal microflora, fecal short chain fatty acids and markers of Alzheimer's disease, including amyloid protein and tau protein, were measured in CSF
