For those that are curious and not well verse in research level biology, what kind of food, drink and lifestyle will help maintain a gut biome that prevent Alzheimer

Fatty fish, most nuts (that don't have high omega-6, which is inflammatory), fruits high in antioxidants like berries and dark fruit in general, colorful vegetable, cooking with olive/avocado/sunflower oil, *kefir* which is the champion of all good microbiota inducers As for avoiding : red meat (high in omega-6), gluten (chickpea, rice, lentil pasta instead of wheat), cooking with hydrogenated oils, preservatives, pr…

I had to triple check the date because I was pretty sure that this was known before. Maybe it is simply the confirmation aspect of it? Edit: > Our findings reveal for the first time, that Alzheimer’s symptoms can be transferred to a healthy young organism via the gut microbiota, *confirming a causal role* of gut microbiota in Alzheimer’s disease ...

I'm a fermentation freak so I have to highlight how uncooked fermented foods like sauerkraut and the aforementioned kefir play into anti-inflammation [0]. [0]: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8147091/

kimchi too?

Microbiome researcher here. As usual, when a microbiome paper reaches HN, I emerge to urge caution. You should be extremely skeptical of the larger conclusions drawn from this paper. The biology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is poorly understood, and the contribution of dietary and microbiome factors are extremely unclear. I think you should treat the evidence from this paper (and shared in this thread) as more like "f…

As a micro biome researcher do you think I should be eating more kimchi?

> You could sum up Alzheimer's as: Diet/Lifestyle + a congenital form of Cushing's syndrome and you have increasing glucocorticoids which imply downregulation of the PVN, Wit all else patients on GLP-1 agonists I wonder if the incidence of Alzheimer’s will decline?

Between weight loss, inhibiting addictive behavior, lowering the risk of major cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, and potentially derisking for Alzheimer’s, we should be pumping GLP-1 agonists out like a wartime effort.
