Through a study published in the United States in the Annals of Neurology, we have determined that high doses of thiamine has been beneficial in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
Thiamine is an essential substance in the production of hydrochloric acid in the body, and help the absorption of minerals and vitamins. This is very important, as it grows, since nearly 40 years there is a decreased function of hydrochloric acid. We need a good functioning of this acid mainly as adults.
Have been published about forty studies of thiamine and Alzheimer’s disease indicating a positive role against dementia. To increase the doses of thiamine in the body is necessary to consume beer yeast, wheat germ, whole grains, brown rice, yogurt and nuts.
Magnesium, the Mineral King
Magnesium is one of the most beneficial minerals for the body. Dilates and relaxes blood vessels, which stimulates and improves circulation, while inhibiting the formation of platelets. Thus, not only raises the body’s energy levels but also strengthens the heart.
In addition, magnesium is necessary for brain function, since, according to many surveys say is the fourth most abundant element in the brain. A low level of magnesium overexcited brain cells resulting in lower consistency.
