Dementia: Five Dietary Guidelines to Help Manage Symptoms
As of today, there is no known cure for Dementia, however much of its effects can be reversed if the disease is diagnosed in its earliest stage. Proper diet and nutrition are essential in the treatment of this disease.
Often times, elderly adults who are malnourished or are lacking certain vitamins and minerals in their system will manifest symptoms linked to dementia. Therefore, a proper and accurate diagnosis of dementia is imperative prior to prescribing any drugs for treatment. However, at any rate, diet is the foundation from which we build our bodily defense mechanisms from viruses, ailments and most degenerative diseases.
The following are the top five dietary guidelines that will help dementia patients keep their symptoms under control or at bay.
1) Hugh Fiber, Low Fat - Adding high fiber foods such as millet, brown rice, seeds, nuts, pressed oils, fresh fruits and vegetables, fish and low fat foods is very beneficial in the fight against dementia. In addition, it is very important to remember to eliminate saturated fats from your daily diet without removing essential fatty acids such as omega 3s.
2) No Processed Food - Any food that comes in a box really can't be considered food. In addition, foods such as hot dogs and sausages are really processed foods. These are very bad for the body. Instead, implement the benefits of foods that actually resemble their 'natural" state. Organic foods contain live enzymes that are very beneficial to the body. Furthermore, it is important to implement foods high in antioxidants into your diet. These include zinc, selenium, carotene and flavonoids. There is a simple saying to help you remember; live food - Live body, dead food - dead body.
3) Brain Power - It is very important for the neurotransmitters in our brains to be fed. This can be done by incorporating foods that contain Acetyl-choline. Foods that contain this beneficial element include beans, liver, whole grains, foods rich in chlorophyll, soy, lecithin and egg yolks.
4) Get Your Protein - Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Therefore, a whey smoothie or soy smoothie containing lecithin and flaxseed is highly beneficial. For lunch, a salad with a tuna or salmon sandwich is great for mental acuity. Lastly, if youre looking for a relaxing and restful nights sleep try a meal of protein rich spaghetti made with brown rice, ground turkey and a low sodium sauce.
5) Keep It Broad - A low-calorie diet of 1500 " 2000 is best. Select your nourishment from a broad cross-section of foods to include fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds and whole grains (brown rice, soy beans, oats, millet, buckwheat). In addition, take a high-potency multiple vitamin on a daily basis in order to prevent nutrient depletions that are associated with this debilitating disease. - 17274
