HIgh Blood Pressure Medication Could Treat Alzheimers

This article is interesting because we just got finished talking about Alzheimer's Disease and when I found this article that describes a possible treatment for Alzheimer's I knew I had to post it. High blood pressure medication has been shown to decrease the amount of amyloid beta plaques in the brain that lead to Alzheimer's. Many different high blood pressure medications have been tested and they have narrowed it down to a few different ones. So far this has only been proven in mice, but studies will eventually be done on humans. This discovery, if proven effective in humans, could lead to a longer productive lives for many.
