Alzheimer’s and Mediterranean Diet
A project that demonstrates that diet can positively impact the outcomes of a neurodegenerative disorder as devastating as Alzheimer’s.
For our steam project, we proposed that our topic be on degenerative disorders and the potential role of a Mediterranean diet in lessening its progression and or side effects. We have specifically focused on Alzheimer’s as there is more research centered around it. Our hypothesis is that we believe the adoption or shift towards a Mediterranean diet can potentially improve the outcomes of those suffering from effects associated with Alzheimer’s.
Wow, great project guys! I enjoyed reading that adhering to a Med. Diet will allow for higher cognitive composite scores. Thank you for the multiple depictions that allowed us to visual this project easily!
Wow! What an interesting topic guys! I never would’ve thought that different types of diets could impact the outcome of Alzheimer’s Disease. Your graphics made it very easy to see the correlation between the Mediterranean diet and cognitive composite scores. It may be interesting to see if any other correlations exist between Alzheimer’s Disease and other diets or lifestyles throughout the world. This research could have serious implications in the medical field and how we think about preventing and treating Alzheimer’s Disease.
