Subject: Fruits and vegetables may slow ALS
We know we should eat more fruits and vegetables, but it turns out that a diet high in these too foods may also help with diseases like ALS. Studies are showing that the foods we eat play a huge rule in both triggering and the prognosis of the disease. Lunch meats and milk should be avoided, while foods high in fiber and some meats may actually help.
Key Takeaways:
- fruits and vegetables that are high in antioxidant nutrientsare associated with better function in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
- Lou Gehrig's Disease, is a severe neurodegenerative disorder
- It appears that nutrition plays a role both in triggering the disease and why it progresses
"New research at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health reveals that foods like fruits and vegetables that are high in antioxidant nutrients and carotenoids are associated with better function in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients around the time of diagnosis."
