Can Diet Prevent ALS?
Can Diet Prevent ALS?
Risk of developing ALS decreased 25% in people consuming the highest amount of carotenoidsEating more brightly colored fruits and vegetables might help prevent or delay the onset of ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.What is ALS?
ALS affects the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control movement. Over time these nerve cells die, leading to an inability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement. Eventually, the disease may lead to total paralysis and is nearly always fatal. ALS usually doesn't affect intelligence, and people with advanced ALS can still control their eye movements as well as bladder and bowel function.
Colorful help for ALS
Several studies have suggested that oxidative stress-damage caused by unstable compounds called free radicals-contributes to ALS. Some studies have shown that high-dose vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant, can slow the progression of ALS in animals with the hereditary form of the disease.
According to the study published in Annals of Neurology, to see what effect antioxidant carotenoids and vitamin C had on the risk of developing ALS, researchers pooled the results of five different studies including the National Institutes of Health-AARP Diet and Health Study, the Cancer Prevention Study II-Nutrition Cohort, the Multiethnic Cohort, the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, and the Nurses' Health Study. Information from more than one million people was included in the study. Of these, 1,153 people died from ALS.
- Risk of developing ALS decreased 25% in people consuming the highest amount of carotenoids compared with those consuming the least.
- Risk of developing ALS was 21% lower for those with higher dietary lutein intake, and 15% lower for those with higher beta-carotene intake.
- Vitamin C and other carotenoids, including lycopene and beta-cryptoxanthin, didn't seem to affect ALS risk.
"ALS is a devastating degenerative disease that generally develops between the ages of 40 and 70, and affects more men than women," said senior study author Dr. Alberto Ascherio, Professor of Epidemiology and Nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health in Boston. "Understanding the impact of food consumption on ALS development is important. Our study is one of the largest to date to examine the role of dietary antioxidants in preventing ALS."

Lutein is found in many vegetables, including kale, collard greens, corn, romaine lettuce, turnip greens, spinach, Brussels sprouts, and zucchini. Egg yolks are another rich source.
Beta-carotene is found in sweet potatoes, spinach, broccoli, cantaloupe, winter squash, cilantro, and other dark leafy greens.
"Our findings suggest that consuming carotenoid-rich foods may help prevent or delay the onset of ALS," concluded Dr. Ascherio. "Further food-based analyses are needed to examine the impact of dietary nutrients on ALS."

Comments about Natrol® AcaiBerry - Diet:
I used this daily as a part of a weight loss regimen that featured nothing radical and virtually no exercise. I lost 35 pounds and counting. Even when I've backslid a little in other areas, I've kept taking this and maintained weight, so I'd have to give it credit.
The only potential negative is a seizure I recently had while taking Dayquil for the flu. I have no specific evidence of a correlation, but I've never had a problem with Dayquil before and I've never had a seizure. I am investigating it.Pros

Comments about Natrol® AcaiBerry - Diet:
I am very impressed with this product. I have tried a handful of other "diet pills" without much luck. I came across these and decided to give them a try because I loved the fact that they had natural ingredients such as acai berry and green tea extract, and also because they were so inexpensive. Well I have to say, I would be willing to spend much more money on this product because it is actually effective! My workouts for the past year or so have gotten so stale that I would have a hard time even staying on the elliptical for 30 minutes, it felt like I was struggling the entire time. Now after using these pills I am able to do 45-55 minutes every single day of intense intervals on the elliptical, and honestly sometimes have to tear myself away! It's amazing! And I never get that jittery feeling like I have with some other pills. Because I am fairly sensitive to caffeine I started out taking just one pill per day instead of two, and then after a few days I began taking two. I take them with my breakfast in the morning/afternoon, and I feel great all day! I am a bartender who works at night, and I used to have to take a nap on most days and now not only do I not have to do that but I sometimes go back to the gym for a second workout AND feel great all through my night at work. Another thing that impressed me was I don't have any trouble sleeping at night which was a big fear of mine. My only concern is that they will keep working as well as they have been, I've been taking them for 18 days now. I hope my body doesn't become immune to them or something because I plan on taking these for a very long time! I highly recommend this product, good luck!

Comments about Natrol® AcaiBerry - Diet:
Not sure if you all that had negative comments tried this product for very long.. However I have been using it for a year, I have never experienced the jumpy feeling other diet pills give you. I have lost 65 pounds and have no problem maintaining my weight when I am cheating ;).. I still plan On losing an additional 25 pounds which I plan on using the pills to aid in this, I do and would highly reccomend Natrol AcaiBerry to other people who have significant wieght to lose. I take two pills once a day with a meal, and the only thing more I wish it did is give me more of an energy boost. Otherwise this has been a blessing to find and I am gaining confidence I have been missing for years.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
