The Quest for Neurodegenerative Disease Treatment—Focusing on Alzheimer’s Disease Personalised Diets

This study explores the potential for personalized diets to treat Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common form of dementia. It highlights the role of nutrients, such as vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, selenium, and plant-based extracts (e.g., Ginkgo biloba, Panax ginseng, Curcuma longa), in slowing cognitive decline and providing neuroprotection. The research underscores how nutrition might influence brain health by mitigating oxidative stress and inflammation, critical factors in AD progression. Personalized diets, particularly those rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, could complement existing treatments and offer a novel approach to managing neurodegenerative disorders.

Adopting a Mediterranean diet, which is high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats, and bioactive compounds, may support brain health and reduce AD risk. However, while this approach is promising, more research is required to confirm its effectiveness in diverse populations and stages of the disease.
