Beet juice...yum!

Researchers at Wake Forest University said that drinking beet juice everyday can increase blood flow to the brain in older adults, and can possibly prevent dementia.  Beets contain nitrates that turn into nitrite in the body, and can open up the blood vessels and increase the flow of blood and oxygen.  Nitrates are also found in cabbage, spinach, celery and lettuce. 
I knew my mom was right when she told me that I must eat my veggies!
Now if they can just make beet juice taste good...

    Hope for the Future

    I am passionate about finding a cure for Alzheimer's disease.  I am not a doctor, nor do I have any medical training.  Still, I firmly believe that with research, innovation and creativity, we will find ways to cure Alzheimer's.  I also believe that early detection for Alzheimer's must be made available to all adults as part of their normal routine physical examination.
