Oxidative Stress = rust=Inflammation = acidification = ageing =

This article in Science Today suggests a new precursor cause for Alzheimers'. It's a term that's becoming very common on this blog because as the heading suggests, it's once again related to a healthy acid/alkaline balance. Oxidation is what happens when we are too acidic, and oxidative stress is the effect of oxidation.

These scientists have pinpointed the idea that oxidative stress, which occurs in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, may modify molecules in the brain, resulting in loss or alteration of their function.

Now.. I'm not in the least bit qualified to relate an alkaline lifestyle to reduced Alzheimers' risk, but seeing acidification pop up again and gain as the culprit in so many deteriorative 'Boomer' health conditions does assure me that I'm on the right track personally in my Alkalarian lifestyle.
