With no cure for Alzheimer’s in sight, evidence is piling up on the benefits of memory food, the array of protective measures you can take to protect your brain. The latest news from the research front is particularly awesome, especially if you eat a nutritious diet.
Scientists studied the diets of some 2,150 seniors over age 65 over a four-year span, checking for signs of Alzheimer’s disease every 18 months. Thankfully, less than 12 percent of this study group succumbed to Alzheimer’s.
The patients who were the least prone to developing Alzheimer’s consumed fewer high-fat dairy products, organ meat and red meat. Among the foods healthy folks ate most often:
• Veggie superfoods such as cruciferous veggies (broccoli)
• Fish
• Tomatoes
• Nuts
• Chicken
• Olive-oil based salad dressing
