As we mentioned in previous articles Alzheimer's disease is a brain disorder named after German physician Alois Alzheimer. Alzheimer's destroys brain cells, causing problems with memory, thinking and behavior severe enough to affect language communication, memory, lifelong hobbies or social life. Alzheimer's gets worse over time, and it is fatal. In this article, we will discuss what to avoid so you can cut the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.

1. Limit intake of processed sugar
Study shows that intake of high amounts of processed sugar over a long period causes worse learning and memory retention and in the brain and increasing amyloid plaque deposits. Sugar beverage causes the increasing blood levels of beta-amyloid, a sticky protein substance that builds up in the brain resulting in Alzheimer's disease.

2. Limit intake of salt
Sodium is crucial for maintaining the health of every cell in the human system. Excessive salt consumption contributes to the development of high blood pressure heart disease and stroke causing depletion of oxygen in the bloodstream resulting in plague and tangle building up in certain regions of the brain.

Alcohol damage of the cerebral cortex and hippocampus region of the brain results in loss of memory and communication difficulty.
