Alzheimer's disease is an irreversible process that causes memory loss, changes in perceptions, sudden and dramatic mood swings, and speech disorders. It affects both old and young people around the world. To reduce the risk of this insidious disease, it is good to eat the following foods:
Foods and drinks rich in flavonoids. Flavonoids are in the group of antioxidants. The highest levels of flavonoids are found in apples, blueberries and grapefruits, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, garlic, kale, onions, peas and spinach.
Research has found that the more flavonoids a person takes, the lower the likelihood of developing dementia. Consumption of fruit and vegetable juices three times a week can halve the risk of developing Alzheimer's.
Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Proven consumption of oily fish such as salmon and herring, part of the so-called Mediterranean diet, can reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease. Taking them even once a week can slow down cognitive decline by 10%.
Oily fish have a high content of DHA, necessary for the normal development of the brain. You can also get Omega-3 fatty acids by eating walnuts, olive oil and flaxseed.
Foods containing vitamin E and C.
Broccoli, cherries, black currants, olive oil, almonds - they all reduce the risk of Alzheimer's. Foods rich in vitamin E have the ability to neutralize free radicals.
Drinking a glass or two of wine a day reduces the risk of Alzheimer's disease by as much as 75 percent. Of the spices, curcumin in turmeric is considered to be the most powerful antioxidant. It has anti-inflammatory action and is an anti-amyloid compound
Interestingly, the incidence of Alzheimer's in India is lower than in many Western countries. It is believed that this is due to the spice curry, often used in Indian cuisine. It has been proven that people who consume more curry have higher brain productivity.
