The story of chili probably goes back to the myth of cigarettes.

It is a strange phenomenon that people who smoke, although dying from cancer, suffering from bronchial disease, air sacs and other enormous diseases, suffer all the time, but have less dementia and seem to gradually become more severe.

but accidentally died before being able to follow clearly because of the harm and danger of cigarettes

Thus, it was hypothesized that cigarettes may contain certain substances that protect the brain.

For example, nicotine and long-term follow-up studies of people who eat chili peppers.

A report in the Annals of neurology on May 9, 2013 found that eating chili peppers (not peppers) lowered the risk of Parkinson's disease.

Peppers are in the Solanaceae family (capsicum and solanum), like tobacco.

There is an enormous amount of evidence, at least 60 reports, that smokers are less likely to develop Parkinson's.

But no one wants to die of cancer.

lung disease from smoking

The report highlights that chili peppers are high in nicotine, so they may have the same effect as smoking.

We assessed 490 Parkinson's patients compared to 644 normal people with respect to food intake and type of seasoning.

People who consumed plants belonging to the Solanaceae family were found to be less likely to develop Parkinson's disease.

But the most important food type is chili.

and reduce the risk by up to 30%, even tomatoes are in the same family.

But the benefits seem to be less than chili peppers.

This may be due to the fact that tomatoes have less nicotine content.

However, it is unknown whether nicotine alone or other compounds in chili peppers may help prevent Parkinson's.

Reports from the Alzheimer's Association's latest meeting.

And this international conference in 2022 studied 654 percent of people with Alzheimer's who died and performed brain autopsies.

The pathology was severely identified according to the National Institute on Aging-Reagan criteria pathology, which included the presence of abnormal neuritic plaques and stage V/VI according to Braak & Braak staging.

All of these patients had a visit to the doctor in the two years before their death and their brain function was assessed with the MMSE test. A score of 24 or higher meant that cognitive function was still good.

Help yourself and of all of them 59, or 9%, are their brain functioning good?

It can be said that it is durable and flexible, even if the brain is damaged after death.

Of the remaining 595, or 91%, working conditions were poor.

Although the healthy group was older at the last visit, 81.4 years versus 77.7 years (P=0.005), and possibly some more years of study, 16.5 years versus 15.1 years ( P=0.01) and also had less depressive states.

going back more than two years

From the last visit to the doctor was 17.5% vs 29.5% (P=0.05), but had more underlying medical conditions that required anticoagulants, 55.2% vs. 38.2% (P=0.01).

in the group with good brain function

They found that 66.7% of lifelong smokers, compared to 45.7% in the bad brain group (P=0.002) and the healthy brain group.

They also fell in the group who had smoked recently within the 30 days prior to their last test, 13.2% versus 4.6% (P=0.03).

When statistically reprocessed to a multivariate analysis instead of bivariate as above, it was still confirmed that the healthy, older group had longer school years.

In Alzheimer's, OR=1.87, while lifelong smokers had OR=2.78.

Information on Cigarettes and Alzheimer's

Look in line with another recent report in Parkinson's disease that found

Cigarettes reduce the risk of disease by 40%.

The researchers, including doctors around the world and the doctors themselves, confirmed that smoking was not the solution.

Alternatives, even though smoking, seem to make a damaged brain look more durable and similar to that of the brain.

But the effects are many.

And the surviving smokers, as reported in this report, are likely not as many in the general population.

For conclusion, use of fibrinolytics or antiplatelet drugs.

may be interpreted by the research team as

Has the effect of helping the brain to be more durable

But this conclusion is interpreted from epidemiological follow-up only, there is no clear cause-and-effect relationship.

The only thing about cigarettes is that when chili peppers with some nicotine content are harmless, they also work in Parkinson's disease.

This is because the mechanisms of the two dementias are similar with the formation of twisted toxic proteins.

Therefore, eating bell peppers, bell peppers, red, green, yellow, tomatoes, as well as hot peppers should be an important process that must be promoted as both can prevent and slow down the disease that has already occurred.

And stop smoking strictly, dig a hole for cigarettes

to prevent others from continuing to smoke

Stop now for yourself, your family, society and the Thai public health system.
