Vitamin D and Alzheimers Disease The Neuro Experience
-
- Education
In this episode, I explore the intricate relationship between Vitamin D and Alzheimer's disease. I delve into the scientific nature of Vitamin D, not just as a nutrient but as a prohormone crucial for bone health, immune function, and brain health.
The episode highlights the common issue of Vitamin D deficiency and its potential neurological impacts. I also discuss Alzheimer's disease, characterizing it as a form of dementia marked by amyloid-beta plaques and tau protein tangles, leading to cognitive decline.
The discussion centers on emerging research that links Vitamin D levels to Alzheimer's, suggesting that adequate Vitamin D might play a role in preventing or mitigating the disease. This episode bridges the gap between Vitamin D's systemic roles and its specific implications in neurological health, particularly in Alzheimer's disease.
