Alzheimer’s disease is one of the main reason people die in the United States. With no official treatment to cure the disease, we have to find ways to prevent it. One of the best solutions to pay attention to your diet. There are some fruits and vegetables that improve our memory and help us fight against this disease.
If you did not by now, dark berries and olive oil are really good in protecting the brain’s glial cells. They are more than the nerve cells and they have a lot of neurological functions that help us think clear and have a normal life. Pay attention to them and try to use olive oil instead of the normal one because it is healthier.
Spinach and asparagus are also really helping with our cognitive ability. We know that not many people enjoy eating them, but they have a high vitamin K content. This vitamin helps older people to not develop Alzheimer’s. Spinach is recommended to seniors and they should have at least one meal in a day that contains this vegetable.
For those of you who are not enjoying vegetables, you could try the green tea. Researchers discovered that it has benefits for older people. The green tea is able to protect your brain from cognitive disorders. Moreover, it is good for your health and it gives you a good feeling.
Fish is also one of the best options for your diet if you want to prevent Alzheimer’s. The omega-3 acids that can be found in salmon or fish oil will help you with your memory. Do not forget that the human body is not able to produce omega-3 acids, so you have to take them from your food.
Another important advice is to eat small meals. This way your blood sugar level will be balanced. Researchers found there is a connection between the high blood sugar and mental issues. Moreover, having small meals more times in a day is also better for your weight.
Diet can’t cure Alzheimer’s, but it can prevent it. Eating healthy food will also protect you from many other diseases and you will feel better. What you eat can improve or damage your health.
