More than six million Americans are living with Alzheimer's disease (AD), and many more are silently undergoing the neurological changes that will one day lead to the onset of the condition.

According to a new study published last month by the journal ACS Chemical Neuroscience, this time lag between the onset of neurological damage and its final diagnosis makes many interventions for AD less effective.

Meanwhile, preventative measures — which can help protect the brain long before signs of the disease appear — may be your best bet to stave off cognitive decline, they say.

Drinking beer may help protect against Alzheimer's, according to study.

Since a healthy diet is believed to greatly reduce the chances of developing Alzheimer's, experts are now exploring various "foods" that improve health or prevent disease-related cognitive decline.

In fact, the ACS study says that hop flowers, commonly used to create bitter beers, may be such a food.

That's because certain chemical compounds found within hops appear to prevent the build-up of amyloid beta protein in the brain, a hallmark and potential trigger for the onset of AD./ CNA.al
