Prevent Alzheimer's

Posted , 4 users are following.

My grandfather and father both have had alzheimer's disease, their life was a big mess and the people around them have had to take a lot of misery.

I'm over fifty and started getting worried in case the disease is in my blood, for this reason I've started a special diet to prevent of the disease and try to escape from it or at least delay it.

My special diet as under:

Cerials & mixtures of dried fruit+Daily walnut intake for breakfast

Mixture of fruits only for lunch

One meal + veg before 8pm

No fizzy drinks, no alcohol, no smoking, coffee no sugar, herbal teas+ spoon of pure honey.

No snaking, no cakes no suits.

I also take the following daily vitamins supplements:

Omega3

Vitamin D

B12

What do you think? Is this okay ? Am I missing anything?

Thanks for your time and advice

    I would add curcumin which is good for brain health. This was a recommendation by several doctors who study brains. Diet is very restrictive. Why not just switch to a plant based diet? Add in coconut oil, blueberries also and be sure to eat all organic. I was told I have white brain matter disease and could possibly get Alzheimers or dementia. That was 6 years ago and no signs at all. Do as much research on it as you can! Best of luck!

      Thanks Diane, I didn't know about the benefits of Curcumin until you mentioned it, I will definitely start talking it.

      For your information, I also take pomegranate juice; which is apparently essential in boosting brain functions.

      All the best

    They say exercising your brain helps with things like Soduko and crosswords, also learning a foreign language.

    if you dont want any sugar then maybe dont have any pure honey -its full of sugar

      Honey is sweeter than sugar, so a lesser amount of honey can be used to replace granulated sugar we usually take. After all the sugar is the source of the energy that our body needs to function.

      I only eat things that are sugar free or very low sugar

      I had to make this choice because for some reason I got very greedy with some of my favourite sweets I saw in tesco & also bought some chocolate (god knows why I hate chocolate & "when I went for my usual MOT My sugar levels went sky high &" nearly ended up with type 2diabetes. & by eating sugar free & low sugar food I managed to reverse it in time
