There are scientific studies to back what he has stated. In fact, leafy vegetables, cruciferous vegetables, beans, legumes, whole grains, berries, cherries, pumpkin, squash, asparagus, tomatoes, carrots, beets are very good in combating Alzheimer's or say dementia. Food containing Omega 3 fatty acids , cashews, walnuts, hazelnuts, peanuts, pecans should be given more focus. Recent research suggests that Alzheimer's disease, like heart disease and strokes, is linked to the saturated fat, cholesterol, and toxins found in meat and dairy products.

In accordance with the recent study which show that brain exercises delay memory decline, my uncle is undergoing a mental exercise program under the guidance of an assisted living facilities bridgewood. I'm very particular about his diet and focus a lot on food containing omega 3 fatty acids (sea food) and have reduced meat intake.
