Discovered in 1906, Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a condition that deteriorates the brain, slowly damaging memory, thinking, and behavior, and thus, deeply and inevitably impacting daily life. Affecting about 6 million Americans, the disease is believed to result from the buildup of abnormal proteins called beta-amyloid, which form plaques in the brain, and tangled fibers called tau tangles or neurofibrillary tangles. These plaques and tangles lead to the loss of communication between brain cells, ultimately causing the brain to shrink and leading to dementia, according to the National Institute on Aging (NIA). While scientists have yet to find a cure, evidence suggests that what you eat might play a role in reducing AD's risk and slowing its progression. The NIA explains that some diet
