Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a major global health problem today and the most common form of dementia. AD characterized by formation β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques neurofibrillary clusters, leading to decreased brain acetylcholine levels in brain. Another mechanism underlying pathogenesis abnormal phosphorylation tau protein that accumulates at level aggregates, areas affected this pathological process are usually cholinergic neurons cortical, subcortical, hippocampal areas. These effects result cognitive function, atrophy, neuronal death. Malnutrition weight loss frequent manifestations AD, these also associated with greater decline. Several studies have confirmed balanced low-calorie diet proper nutritional intake may be considered important factors counteracting or slowing progression whereas high-fat hypercholesterolemic predisposes an increased risk developing AD. Especially, fruits, vegetables, antioxidants, vitamins, polyunsaturated fatty acids, micronutrients supplementation exert positive on aging-related changes due their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, radical scavenging properties. The purpose review summarize some possible contribute prevention understand role nutrition plays Aβ typical neurodegenerative disease, identify potential therapeutic strategies involve natural compounds, delaying disease.

The gut microbiota is a diverse bacterial community consisting of approximately 2000 species, predominantly from five phyla: Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, and Verrucomicrobia. microbiota's species create distinct compounds that impact the host's health, including well-known short-chain fatty acids. These are produced through breakdown dietary fibers fermentation undigested carbohydrates by intestinal microbiota. main acids consist acetate, propionate, butyrate. concentration butyrate in mammalian intestines varies depending on diet. Its functions use as an energy source, cell differentiation, reduction inflammatory process intestine, defense against oxidative stress. It also plays epigenetic role histone deacetylases, thus helping to reduce risk colon cancer. Finally, affects gut-brain axis crossing brain-blood barrier, making it crucial determine right concentrations for both local peripheral effects. In recent years, there has been significant amount attention given polyphenols promoting human health. Polyphenols play roles protecting health can produce fermentation. This paper aims summarize information key summits related negative correlation between diversity chronic diseases guide future research determining specific activity carry out these vital functions.
