A new study suggests that drinking kefir, a probiotic-rich beverage, may help improve symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers believe the beneficial bacteria in kefir could positively influence brain health due to their impact on gut health. While the evidence is still in the early stages, initial results are promising, showing potential improvements in cognitive function and memory for individuals consuming kefir.
The review included several studies, with only one involving human participants, where kefir showed signs of enhancing brain activity and reducing harmful inflammation related to Alzheimer's. However, the overall findings are based on a small number of studies, and the researchers have planned for more detailed studies to be published soon.
While these findings are encouraging, experts urge caution, highlighting the need for more comprehensive research to validate the potential benefits of kefir for Alzheimer’s. If proven effective, kefir could become a supportive treatment for Alzheimer’s, highlighting the growing interest in the connection between diet and brain health.
