Answer:
According to label information, the maximum amount of sodium an average person should consume in a day is 2000 mg or 2 gr.
Explanation:
Packaged or canned foods are labeled with Nutrition Facts information, which includes the amount of nutrients they provide and the percentage that corresponds to the recommended daily intake.
In the case of the amount of sodium, the<u> label in the image indicates that the food has 560 mg, equivalent to 28% of the recommended daily intake</u>. This information implies that the maximum sodium intake of an average person should not exceed 2000 mg, or 2 gr, which can be calculated using the following reasoning:
If 560 mg corresponds to 28% of the recommended daily intake, how many mg would represent 100%?
560 mg ----------------- 28%
X ---------------- 100%
X = (100% x 560 mg) / 28%
X = 56000 / 28 = 2000 mg
The maximum amount of sodium that a person should consume, according to the food label, is 2000 mg.

Answer and Explanation:
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease probably caused by the accumulation of beta-amyloid peptide in the brain. AD is the leading cause of dementia in the elderly people. Usually presents with gradual symptoms of loss of cognitive functions (memory, orientation, attention and language) caused by the death of neurons.
Similar to AD, we have Lewy body dementia and Parkinson's disease dementia, which may be variations of the same disease. In this disease, synuclein (a protein in the brain that helps nerve cells to communicate) changes shape (remains "badly folded") and slowly accumulates mainly in the brain, but also in the digestive tract and heart. These abnormal synuclein deposits are called Lewy bodies. Misfolded synuclein in Lewy bodies triggers more misfolded synuclein, resulting in the formation of more Lewy bodies. Brain damage results from the accumulation of Lewy bodies. Lewy bodies also is develop in some people with Alzheimer's disease,
