<\/a>Alzheimer\u2019s disease typically begins with what seems to be normal forgetfulness, but it causes much damage over time wreaking havoc with one’s comprehension, speech, and coordination leading to restlessness and mood swings. Studies reveal that one out of three people over 80 years of age suffer from it. However, there is hope at hand. The right diet along with some lifestyle changes can work effectively to help keep Alzheimer\u2019s symptoms at bay.<\/p>\nHere are some diet tips.<\/strong><\/p>\n Vitamin C and E<\/strong> Also Read:Alzheimer\u2019s Disease \u2013 Care for your Loved Ones<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Flavonoid<\/strong> Curry powder<\/strong> Folate <\/strong> Cherries and berries<\/strong> Omega 3s<\/strong> Olive oil<\/strong> Nuts<\/strong>
\nSeveral studies have found that including plenty of foods that are rich in Vitamin C such as currants, red peppers, strawberries, and broccoli, and Vitamin E such as almonds and olive oil can help reduce chances of developing the disease.<\/p>\n
\nSome flavonoid-rich food includes apples, blueberries, cranberries, and grapefruit. Vegetables that boast flavonoid include Brussels sprouts, asparagus, cabbage, peas, garlic, kohlrabi, kale, lima beans, kidney onions, and spinach. These are excellent to prevent the onset of the disease. Research has shown that people who drank these vegetable and fruit juices at least three to four times a week can avoid Alzheimer\u2019s symptoms.<\/p>\n
\nResearch reveals that people who consume curried food have improved brain performance. One of the most important ingredients in curry powder is turmeric which contains Curcumin. This substance is highly beneficial to prevent Alzheimer\u2019s. Most of the spices present in the curry powder help to break up the brain plaque formation and decrease inflammation of the brain, which can lead to memory problems.<\/p>\n
\nExperts opine that the deficiency of some B vitamins, especially, can slow down cognitive abilities. Foods such as dried beans and dark leafy vegetables contain folate, which is good to prevent Alzheimer\u2019s disease. It works wonders to improve cognition and reduce depression. Also, cruciferous vegetables such as Cauliflower, Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Kale and Bok Choy contain carotenoid and folates that reduce homo-cysteine, which is an amino acid related to cognitive impairment.<\/a><\/p>\n
\nThe fruits contain Anthocyanin that offers protection to the brain from damage by free radicals. These also contain antioxidants, vitamin C and E, and anti-inflammatory properties.<\/p>\n
\nIncluding omega 3 in your daily diet reduces your risk of developing the disease significantly. The fatty acids enable the brain to stay in good condition. Some sources of fatty acids include flax seeds, fish, olive oil, and omega 3 supplements.<\/p>\n
\nSome studies say that olive oil is better than the other cooking oils in the market. People who used this oil seem to be more protected from cognitive decline. It is also an essential component of a heart-healthy diet, and good cardiovascular health is important for brain health. It is easy to add olive oil to diet. You can saut\u00e9 your vegetables in it or use in salad dressings.<\/p>\n
\nMost of the nuts such as peanuts, cashews, almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, and pecans contain omega-3s and omega-6s, folate, vitamin E, magnesium and vitamin B6, which are good to keep the brain working well. Nuts comprise antioxidants, healthy fats and fiber that are good for brain health. Experts recommend eating nuts at least four to five times a week.<\/p>\n
