Neurological disorders are medical conditions characterized by any disorder of the nervous system caused by structural, biochemical or electrical abnormalities.

There are many forms of neurological disorders. The most common types of the disease are neurodegenerative disease, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease, epilepsy. multiple sclerosis and Migraines.

Back pain associated with the related nerve damage is one of the common complaints in the US that send many patients to seek help from their doctor. Believe it or not, 80% of the US population will experience back pain at some time in their lives.

There is no single cause of neuro-dysfunction. Lifestyle, infections, genetics, and nutrition-related disease, environment, and physical injuries have been found to some major prevalent factors that induce the onset of neurological abnormalities.

According to the Medical press, globally, the burden of neurological disorders (Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, stroke, epilepsy, etc) has increased substantially over the past 25 years. These may be results of over 25 years of economic expansion that have increased the living standard of billions of people in the Southeast Asian region.

The WHO in the evaluation of neurological disorder wrote, "Neurological disorders contribute to 92 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) in 2005 projected to increase to 103 million in 2030 (approximately a 12% increase). While Alzheimer's and other dementias are projected to show a 66% increase from 2005 to 2030".

Where one DALY represents the loss of the equivalent of one year of full health.

On finding a potential remedy for the protection of the brain functioning, researchers examined the effects of cruciferous vegetables are a key part of the arsenal of nutrition-based approaches for reducing the risks of neurological disorders.

According to the search of related articles, in animal model systems, cruciferous vegetables exerted the protective activity against neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.

In chemical analysis, the efficacy of crucifers in the inhibition of the onset and progression of neurological disorders was attributed to its most abundant bioactive compound the isothiocyanates, particularly sulforaphane.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "There is great promise for the regular use of cruciferous vegetables or supplements containing standardized levels of bioactive in the treatment and prevention of neurologic disorders".

And, " Many clinical and animal studies are underway, and the evidence is building to support this strategy".

Taken altogether, cruciferous vegetables may be considered functional remedies for the prevention of neurological disorders, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
