Experts at the Goulandris Museum of Natural History in Athens, Greece have discovered that saffron may help delay the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.
The discovery was made when scientists from the museum were studying the impact of diet on people’s health, along with their colleagues from Athens University’s School of Medicine.
The experts found that the crocus sativus plant (found in saffron) helps prevent the build-up of beta-amyloid protein, a critical component in triggering the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.
Fali Vogiatzaki, the Director of the museum, claims that researchers at the facility are also studying how the immune system reacts to the COVID-19 vaccine.
“The aim of the research is to identify substances in the blood that could predict whether someone would develop a high or low level of antibodies after being vaccinated,” she said.
