Posted by: admin on Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

Researchers are finding many links between diet and dementia, and there is evidence that some foods are powerful allies in the battle against Alzheimer’s. Let us have a look at those food products.

1. Fish, especially oily fish like salmon, mackerel, herring, and sardines, are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and should be eaten at least three times per week.

2. Eggs; they are considered a good dietary source of choline-a component of lecithin. They are also a good source of iron, vitamin B12 and other B vitamins, an excellent source of protein, and very easy to eat and digest.

Fish is very nutritious but it can get expensive, at least for some seniors on fixed income. Egg also has a lot of nutrients but people shouldn’t eat it too much as it will make your cholesterol higher.
