Nashville, TENN (31 August 2006) - A juice a day may keep Alzheimer away, says a team of researchers.

Appeared in the September issue of the American Journal of Medicine, a study headed by Dr. Qi Dai, an assistant professor of Medicine found that people who drank three or more servings of fruit and vegetable juices per week had a 76 percent lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease than those who drank juice less than once per week.

At first the researchers thought the reason for this effect is vitamin but after a detailed investigation said another class of antioxidant chemicals, known as polyphenols, could be the reason.

This special anti-oxidant exists in the skin of fruits and is believed to be able to extend one's lifespan and reduce chances of Alzheimer.

The researchers are currently studying to see if there's a specific juice that reduces the risk.
