If you're worried about dementia, regularly eat 'these foods' often.

One way to prevent dementia is to eat foods that help maintain brain function.

 

It is good to eat blue-backed fish frequently first. Tuna, mackerel, saury, and Spanish mackerel are rich in omega-3 fatty acids.

 

Consuming omega-3 fatty acids slows the decline of cognitive function with age and reduces the risk of Alzheimer's disease by 70%.

 

Eating seasonal vegetables and fruits every day is also important.

 

In particular, green and yellow vegetables such as spinach contain a large amount of antioxidants, which inhibit brain aging. There is a study showing that people who eat vegetables and fruits daily have a 30% lower risk of developing dementia.


Let's also drink enough water and tea. People who drink 1 to 3 cups of green tea a day have a 26% lower risk of cognitive decline, and those who drink 4 to 6 cups have a 55% lower incidence of cognitive impairment. Drinking coffee daily reduces the risk of Alzheimer's disease by 30%, and there are studies showing that drinking fruit or vegetable juices three or more times a week lowers the risk by 76%.

 

If it is difficult to consume a variety of foods evenly, taking a multivitamin supplement can also be helpful. Taking vitamin E (tocopherol) and C together daily reduces the likelihood of cognitive impairment by 66% and the risk of Alzheimer's dementia by 64%. Conversely, a deficiency in folate increases the risk of dementia.

 

There are foods to avoid. Consuming too much saturated fat can impair cognitive function. People who mainly enjoy meat are three times more likely to develop dementia than those who prefer vegetarian diets.

 

=================

 

They say one cup of coffee is also good.

It would be good to drink the rest with green tea.

 

Spinach.. Is it really good for dementia?

 

These days, it's spinach, so... I'm really disappointed.

Vegetable prices are also not cheap.
