Olive oil may fight Alzheimer’s disease

Alzheimer’s disease is one of the most common neurodegenerative conditions in the world.

One of its key features is the buildup of beta-amyloid plaques inside your brain cells, which may lead to a decline in cognition and memory loss.

A 2024 review found that olive oil may reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive impairment. It may do this by reducing beta-amyloid plaques, neuroinflammation, and oxidative stress.
