Dear Manal Hadi Kanaan

Your question "is there a link between our diet and the risk of the development of dementia? "

I am not a medical specialist :-)

Only one real example from life:

My dear father ( blessed be his memory!) was runner (10 km each day), he fasted for 3 days once every three months, he stood on his head for 5 minutes every day, he practiced Zen macrobiotics, did not eat meat, did not drink coffee

And ... he fell ill with dementia at the age of 75, but, unfortunately, spent the last 6 years in a nursing home - helpless, unable to move - until he was 91.

What does it mean???

No amount of diet and exercise helped. probably it depends on GENES ??? !!!

Dementia: The ‘most immediate’ lifestyle habit that could cut your risk of mental decline

https://forbesalert.com/news/health/dementia-the-most-immediate-lifestyle-habit-that-could-cut-your-risk-of-mental-decline/

Doctor MacSweeney also highlighted that social behaviour is also associated with healthy behaviour, and that since our society is built on layers of complex interactions, there are numerous ways in which one can prosper socially.

She explained: “If you are socialising, you are more likely to have a routine, socialising means many different things, including volunteering, visiting places of worship, going to the cinema, reading news and current affairs, and going to museums.

“There are many more peripheral activities involved when meeting up with someone, first of all, you have to prep and plan.

“Our brain is a muscle, and just like any other muscle in the body, if you don’t use it you lose it.”

Thanks a lot, Dr. Boris Michailovich Menin I'm very sorry, I may have stirred up painful and sad memories by bringing up this discussion... In fact, since brain deterioration cannot be cured, and if we consider that protection is better than cure... So is there anything that can be prevent developing that? ...And Indeed, the information and the link that you have been posted is very important, as it indicates that it is not only the diet is important, but the constantly activating the brain in order to activate the memory and reduce the chances of damage that may be exposed to it...We are so grateful for sharing this real experience, very useful information, and link about this thread...My sincere gratitude, Doctor.

Thanks a lot, Dr. Terri Purvis

Thanks a lot, Dr. Martin Hofmeister Yes, a number of studies are pooled on the benefits of sticking to a Mediterranean-style diet to stave off brain decline. Most of the studies focused on the overall benefits of the diet, but one study delved into the specific ingredients that help. Harvard Health cited a study by researchers at the National Institutes of Health that evaluated the lifestyles of more than 7,750 participants and followed them for five to 10 years. They used this data to identify the dietary factors that were most important in reducing the risk of cognitive impairment, as well as the dietary factors that were most important in reducing the risk of cognitive decline. Harvard Health reported that fish was the “most important dietary factor” in reducing the risk of cognitive impairment. https://middleeast.in-24.com/News/162859.html

We are so grateful for sharing these valuable and informative links about this thread...My sincere gratitude, Doctor.

Hi Dr Manal Hadi Kanaan Eat a balanced diet. Eat protein (such as oily fish, beans, pulses, eggs or meat) at least twice a week. Limit your sugar intake, and look out for hidden salt. Eat starchy foods like bread, potatoes and pasta. Eat less saturated fat and look at the Eatwell Guide from the NHS. See the link: https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/about-dementia/risk-factors-and-prevention/how-reduce-your-risk-dementia

Excellent question

Thanks a lot, Dr. Aref Wazwaz Yes, I agree with that, there’s some evidence that the right diet could reduce the risk of developing dementia as well as being heart-healthy. Because having heart or circulatory disease can raise the risk of developing dementia. https://www.bhf.org.uk/informationsupport/heart-matters-magazine/nutrition/dementia-diet

Can eating a specific food or following a particular diet help prevent or delay dementia caused by Alzheimer’s disease? Many studies suggest that what we eat affects the aging brain’s ability to think and remember. These findings have led to research on general eating patterns and whether they might make a difference. The Mediterranean diet, the related MIND diet (which includes elements designed to lower blood pressure), and other healthy eating patterns have been associated with cognitive benefits in studies, though the evidence is not as strong as it is for other interventions like physical activity, blood pressure and cognitive training. Currently, researchers are more rigorously testing these diets to see if they can prevent or delay Alzheimer’s disease or age-related cognitive decline

Yes Prof. Manal,

We need to avoid diet with a lot of salt as this results in the risk of increasing our blood pressure, which in turn can increase the risk of stroke and vascular dementia.

Diets high in saturated fats and simple sugars could lead to increased free radicals in the body which could give rise to dementia. Regular intake of fruits and vegetables could reduce the risk of developing dementia

Dear forum participants,

From the height of my age and life experience, I want to tell you:

Face it!

All your scientific-like, standard ones, corresponding to the "main line" of the existing scientific view, are very far from reality!

ALL living centenarians have never followed your prescribed diets! They lived and ate as their environment dictated. Many of them smoked, starved, fought at the front, drank wine, beer, vodka and whiskey.

Medicine has achieved outstanding success, so many people are saved by the hands of doctors.

I'm afraid to say how many percent (50, 70, 90 ???) life expectancy depends on genes and a favorable environment!

Think, think and think! Look for the truth.

I completely agree with the opinion Boris Menin. Genes play a big role. An example of my father-in-law, who lived with full reason until the age of 90. He ate what he wanted and did not adhere to any diet. My father, on the contrary, adheres to a diet, consumes less red meat, more sea fish, stews in the composition of zucchini, pumpkin, carrots. He is 91 years old. So both genes and nutrition help a person to be in adequate condition longer.

Thanks a lot, Dr. Kiprotich Kiptum In fact, the health of the heart and blood circulation are very important for the health of the brain...We are very grateful for sharing your opinion with us... My sincere gratitude, Doctor.

Thanks a lot, Dr. Ruqayyah Yusuf Yes...A healthy diet is very important to reduce the risk of developing dementia and for brain health...We are very grateful for sharing your opinion with us... My sincere gratitude, Doctor.

Thanks a lot, Dr. Balsam Abbas

Thanks a lot, Dr. Boris Michailovich Menin Yes, of course, we cannot forget the role of genes and environment in this, but we try as much as possible in this discussion to shed light on some ips that may reduce the risk of developing this disease...We are very grateful for sharing your opinion with us... My sincere gratitude, Doctor.

Simple ,balanced ,home cooked less oily fresh food with salad.The coloorful Indian thali is an example.

Besides,regular , nutrition rich diet other known factors as stress, pollution,over competition,Huge EMI, lack of social contact and public touch need to be avoided to seek good mental health and peace.

Thanks a lot, Dr. Terekh Alexandr M. Yes, I agree with that a lot because some people have genetic factors that act as risk factors that may increase their chances of developing certain diseases more than others, meaning that they are considered predisposing factors for disease...We are very grateful for sharing your opinion with us... My sincere gratitude, Doctor.

Thanks a lot, Dr. Jyoti Priyadarshini Shrivastava Yes, a healthy diet while avoiding stress factors that would be a predisposing factor for many diseases certainly has a great impact on maintaining the health of all parts of the body...We are very grateful for sharing your opinion with us... My sincere gratitude, Doctor.

Distinguished Mrs. Manal Hadi Kanaan

A preventive vision of this disease advises avoiding obesity early, because it concomitates with dementia in the long term. Several factors associated with aging and memory loss are attributed, among other causes, to a prolonged ineffective diet. For example, the lack of water in the diet for long periods of time decreases the effectiveness of cognitive mechanisms.

As remedies, abundant vegetables are required in the diet but even, being vegetables, there must be balance: we do not do much eating only vegetables, if they are energetic and cooked vegetables.

Vegetables that can be eaten raw and that have a good content of minerals and vitamins, such as fruits, do help in this prevention.

Of course, there has been talk against fruit cocktails, as mixing them can be inconvenient in the biochemical rainbow they unleash.

Honey, nuts, foods with homega 3, fish meats, all are good to help have a healthy brain Dementia can not only be prevented with diet, even when the genetic factor is a risk, it is about mitigating it with a style of healthy life, for example: sleeping well 8 hours a day, learning to manage stress, physical exercise does not reduce the size of the hippocampus. Avoid excessive alcohol, new and permanent learning, for example learning a new language, learning to play a musical instrument, because it is not about doing the same things that we have done intellectually throughout our lives. Having healthy social ties, not being isolated, loneliness is bad. Optimism is a protective factor in the brain.

That is what I have been able to obtain from good sources.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlb2qzEbvns

Thanks a lot, Dr. Reinaldo Requeiro Yes, I agree with that, healthy food rich in vitamins, minerals, and unsaturated fatty acids, especially omega 3, in addition to taking a sufficient amount of deep sleep, which has an important role and a close relationship with the melatonin ... In addition to exercising regularly and developing the different activities and skills of the individual, all of these would have positive effects on the health of the body and the health of the brain...We are very grateful for sharing this valuable and useful information and link with us...

How to reduce your risk Alzheimer's and other dementias

Thanks a lot, Dr. Chuck A Arize We are very grateful for sharing this valuable link with us... My sincere gratitude, Doctor.

Yes, an inflammatory diet is linked to Dementia since over 90% of individuals with Alzheimer's and other dementias also suffer from leaking gut. You can run a complete gut test then make dietary adjustments. May want to stay away from coffee, alcohol, gluten, and lectins in the meantime. What is just as important as getting 8 or more hours of sleep in order for the body to flush the toxins from the brain. Both regular exercise and the use of a sauna assist the body in flushing toxins by sweating.

The number one way to recognize memory loss is the gradual loss of smell, but if you increase neuro performance you'll notice an overall enhanced ability of all your senses.

Try it for yourself do a complete detox & cleanse, spend time in a sauna, fast, and donate blood if you're able. Then go outside and smell the flowers, the trees, you'll notice a heightened sense of smell. If you want more tips just let me know, this is just the first level of NPE (neuro performance enhancement).

How to prevent dementia with vitamins.

Research has shown that cognitive stimulation, exercise, diet, and the management of vascular risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, smoking, and physical inactivity can play an important role in preventing Alzheimer's disease. There is also some evidence to support vitamin supplementation as a preventative strategy.

Vitamin A is involved in the stabilization of β-amyloid fibrils, has the function of restoring memory, and this may be due to its anticholinesterase, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

Vitamin D is a precursor of hormones necessary for the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus; correlates with neuronal activity.

Vitamin E is an antioxidant that provides protection against free radical damage.

Vitamin K is involved in the synthesis of sphingolipids.

B vitamins, especially vitamin B12 and folate, are involved in energy production and metabolism in the central nervous system, nucleic acid production, as well as myelin synthesis and methylation of homocysteine, an amino acid that can cause DNA strand break, oxidative stress and apoptosis. Vitamin B3 lowers low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Vitamin B6 is involved in the biosynthesis of gamma-aminobutyric acid, dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin.

Magnesium participates in hundreds of enzymatic reactions, participates in energy production, and regulates neuromuscular transmission.

Dear Dr. Sergey Viktorovich Pushkin We are very grateful for sharing this valuable information with us... My sincere gratitude, Doctor.
