Resumen
Objetivo: Describir los beneficios de la dieta que imita el ayuno en el tratamiento de la Enfermedad de Alzheimer. Revisión bibliográfica: La Enfermedad de Alzheimer es un trastorno neurodegenerativo, progresivo y multifactorial, caracterizado por el deterioro de las funciones cognitivas. En este contexto, destaca la dieta que imita el ayuno, conocida por su restricción calórica y la ingesta de alimentos exclusivamente a base de plantas, incluyendo niveles bajos de azúcar, proteínas y altos niveles de grasas insaturadas. Esta dieta tiene como objetivo reproducir los efectos del ayuno en un individuo que está comiendo. Sus efectos sobre el organismo ocurren a través de la activación de una vía metabólica alternativa, aportando beneficios notables como la reducción de la inflamación, la promoción de la autofagia y la limpieza celular, la reducción de la beta-amiloide, además de la disminución del estrés oxidativo. Consideraciones finales: La dieta que imita el ayuno contribuye a la mejora de la demencia causada por la Enfermedad de Alzheimer, indicando una posible opción de tratamiento.
