Seeds and nuts are high in arginine.
Studies have shown that people who receive the shingles vaccine are 20% less likely to develop dementia and Alzheimer's disease over a seven-year period.
- Researchers believe the vaccine may protect against Alzheimer's by preventing the reactivation of the herpes zoster virus, which is thought to trigger brain inflammation and subsequent tau/amyloid buildup, or through its immune-boosting components.
- *A real-world patient data has linked sildenafil use to a 30% to 54% reduction in the incidence of Alzheimer's disease, particularly in studies using large, insurance-claims databases.
- *Arginine appears to act as a "chemical chaperone," reducing the aggregation (clumping) of toxic proteins that lead to plaque formation.
- Research indicates that arginine, a naturally occurring, affordable amino acid, also reduced neuroinflammation and improved cognitive performance in mice, potentially correcting brain inflammation-associated damage.
While these findings are promising, experts stress that these studies are largely observational, based on animal models, or in early stages, and that further, large-scale clinical trials are needed to prove effectiveness in humans.
