It seems like every day we hear new reports on Alzheimer’s research, some promising and some discouraging. One minute you may hear encouraging news about how to prevent Alzheimer’s in the first place only to have hopes dashed by some other body of data. One thing scientists seem to agree on however, is that once the causes of Alzheimer’s are identified finding better methods of treatment – and possibly prevention – are much more easily obtained.
Once of the more recent reports points a finger at a condition widely known in the medical community for causing cardiovascular disease. It’s called endothelium dysfunction and it’s a problem with blood vessel linings – called endothelium – that may lead to the development of Alzheimer’s.

In this dysfunction process the endothelium secretes protein substances that promote plaque formation in the vessels rather than the substances that prevent plaque build up. It’s the earliest indicator of cardiovascular disease, but now scientists have learned that a poorly functioning endothelium affects the brain as well as the heart. Read more: insidershealth.com
Food for healthy blood vessels
Healthy blood vessels are important so the heart does not need to work as hard to pump blood. Flexible and elastic blood vessels keep the risk low for cardiovascular disease, strokes, and some forms of dementia in the elderly. Researchers have found some foods to be very beneficial for healthy blood vessels---and some very detrimental as well. Read more: ehow.com
