Diet Trick Slashes Multiple Sclerosis Risk
Multiple sclerosis (MS) only strikes younger people… right? So, if you’ve reached your senior years, you should be in the clear.
Not so fast. It turns out the number of older folks being diagnosed with MS is rising.
In fact, it has been since the 1970s right along with the overall number of diagnoses—it’s just that no one bothered to tell us.
But a new study found there’s a simple step you can take to reduce your risk…
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, inflammatory autoimmune disease that attacks the central nervous system. Essentially, the body’s immune system goes rogue and starts attacking the protective covering of your nerves.
The loss of this protective covering creates some of the most troubling symptoms of the disease. These include…
- vision problems,
- fatigue,
- difficulty walking,
- and cognitive issues.
For many people, MS worsens over time.
However, a study published in the journal Nutrients uncovered a simple way to slash the risk of ever facing the disease. The researchers found that eating fatty fish once a week is associated with a significantly lower risk of MS.
That’s right, something as simple as adding salmon, mackerel, or sardines to your weekly menu could keep MS at bay.
Omega-3 fatty acids, abundant in fatty fish, have powerful anti-inflammatory properties.
Given that MS is an inflammatory disease, it makes sense that BOOSTING your omega-3 intake could help combat it.
But it’s not just about inflammation.
These fatty acids are also crucial for brain health and function, which is particularly relevant discussing a disease that affects the central nervous system.
But, of course, eating fish isn’t a magic bullet that prevents MS. It’s part of a larger picture of health and prevention. Eating a healthy diet, regular exercise, managing stress, and staying on top of your health checks are also critical.
Supplements can also help support a healthy brain and nervous system.
Here are my top picks…
- B-complex: B vitamins (especially B12) are essential for nerve function and myelin production.
- Acetyl-L-carnitine: Supports mitochondrial function and may help with nerve regeneration.
- Vitamin E: An antioxidant that protects nerve cells from damage.
- Magnesium: Vital for nerve signal transmission.
- Curcumin: Potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
- N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC): Boosts glutathione production, a key antioxidant for nerve health.
- Coenzyme Q10: Supports mitochondrial function and energy production in nerve cells.
- Lion’s Mane mushroom: Potentially stimulates nerve growth factor production.
Don’t let your Golden Years be destroyed by an MS diagnosis. Reduce your risk starting TODAY.
