At the recent Conference on Nutrition and the Brain, sixteen researchers presented evidence showing why certain habits can minimize risk of Alzheimers and other neurological disorders. Neal Barnard, M.D. presented evidence that we may be able to reduce risk of Alzheimers disease by 70-80%. Just a few good habits can make a huge difference. Minimizing dietary intake of saturated and trans fats is very important. These fats increase cholesterol levels leading to production of beta-amyloid plaques in the brain. The plaques are a very common marker for Alzheimers disease. A study presented at the conference showed people who consumed higher levels of saturated fat tripled their Alzheimers risk. A diet rich in vegetables, legumes, whole grains and other foods rich in vitamin B6, folate and many other vitamins and minerals is associated with less risk of cognitive decline. A diet rich in plants also minimizes risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Both of these can play a role in Alzheimers disease. Regular aerobic exercise is also a great way to reduce risk of dementia. A brisk walk of 30-45 minutes three to four times per week can reduce risk by 40-50%. Adequate amounts of vitamin B12, found in fortified foods and in animal products, helps reduce levels of homocysteine, an amino acid linked to cognitive impairment. An Oxford University study showed vitamin B supplementation in older adults with elevated homocysteine and memory problems helped reduce brain atrophy and improve memory. Avoid excess intake of copper and iron. Excess amounts of these metals have been linked to cognitive problems. Many multivitamins contain both copper and iron. Since most people get plenty of iron and copper in their diet, supplements with these should be avoided unless directed by a physician. The antioxidant, vitamin E is easily consumed in nuts or seeds, papayas, avocados, tomatoes, and spinach. Vitamin E has been linked to reduced risk of Alzheimers. According to Dr. Barnard, food sources for vitamin E are far better than taking supplements. New research is showing risk of Alzheimers can be reduced with some simple lifestyle habits. Exercise, low fat diet and consuming lots of vegetables and legumes can go a long way in reducing risk of cognitive decline.
