I was in this Alzheimer symposium and I learned a very important thing. If you want to live longer and don't like to have Alzheimer's disease, drink wine and eat berries.
This substanse called resveratol is an agonist for SirT1, which helps cells to resist oxidative stress, apoptosis etc. It has been shown by studies that it also helps to prevent Alzheimer's disease (as does caloric restriction!). And you get this magic substance especially from grapes and blue berries. The study showed its effects by Drosophila eye phenotypes, where the "normal" eye was clearly deformed, "Alzheimer" phenotype was worse, but with resveratol some of the eye stuctures were even restored! AND you know the old wisdom that blueberries are good for your eye sight! (I'll find the article for you!)
FASCINATING!
EDIT. I couldn't find the exact aticle, you just need to trust on my word ;)
