| Monday, April 27, 2009 |
Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's disease at home is a very difficult task and can sometimes become overwhelming. Each day brings new challenges. Basic activities of daily living such as dressing, bathing, eating and being difficult to manage for both the person with Alzheimer's disease and the caregiver. Recent scientific studies have shown how diet can affect the risk of Alzheimer's disease. If you have a responsibility to care for an elderly person at home can be your mom or dad will probably cook for him / her. How can you help with a proper diet?
What you eat is important for your brain. Many studies have linked dietary habits and nutrient-specific risk factors for Alzheimer's disease or cognitive impairment. A low-fat diet rich in antioxidants like vitamins E and C for all life can be a good protection against Alzheimer's disease and a broad range of other diseases.
Make sure to take this information into account when preparing a dish for your beloved.
1) A low-fat diet is associated with decreased risk of Alzheimer's disease. People who eat mostly lean meats (poultry and fish) and fruits and vegetables have lower risk of developing Alzheimer's that people who eat a diet high in fat and sugar.
2) A diet rich in foods containing vitamin E may help protect against Alzheimer's disease in some people. Such foods include vegetable oils, nuts, green leafy vegetables and whole grains. It seems that taking vitamin E is not as effective. The best way to obtain a protective effect against Alzheimer's disease is becoming more symptoms of the vitamin from food.
3) A diet rich in foods containing vitamin B is important. Why? In general, the Alzheimer's patients have low levels of B12 are often deficient in B1, B2, B6 and B12. These vitamins prevent high levels of homocysteine, a chemical that appears to increase the risk for Alzheimer's disease and heart disease. Different B vitamins come from different natural sources, such as potatoes, bananas, lentils, liver, turkey, tuna.
4) Magnesium is also necessary for brain function. A low level of magnesium overexcites neurons of the brain and results in less coherence. Defatted soy flour, whole grains, wheat bran, and nuts are sources of a large amount of magnesium.
5) the consumption of green tea daily may also prevent Alzheimer's disease.
Some researchers are working hard to find a way to be able to treat and reverse plaques that have already formed in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease.
