| Protect Your Memory with Nutrition |
| |
by
Kara Carper, M.A.
Do you ever walk into a room and forget why you're
there? Some people call these "senior moments".
Maybe your memory is fine, but perhaps you know
someone with Alzheimer's or dementia. Studies are
showing that 50% of people who reach the age of 80
will have Alzheimer's.
My grandfather was an energetic, fit, heart-healthy
man, so our family was surprised when he started
showing signs of confusion and memory loss and
was eventually diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
After a couple of years, the difficult decision was made
to move him to a nursing home with an Alzheimer's
unit. These types of floors or units are becoming more
and more common in nursing homes and hospitals.
He was given medication to manage the disease and
shortly after, his condition worsened. It was seven
long years from the first time we noticed symptoms
until he passed away.
Alzheimer's is the most serious type of memory loss,
but there are many other levels of mild cognitive
impairment that aren't as debilitating but can
negatively impact our lives. Today, we know much
more about Alzheimer's and memory loss; we now
know that they stem from inflammation. Nutritionally,
we can put together a prevention plan to reduce
inflammation and support our brains. We need to
start this plan today: it's never too early or too late!

| Salmon Salad Supreme |
| |
This is one of my favorite recipes that is quick, tasty,
and contains high amounts of Omega-3 fatty acids
which can improve memory. Canned salmon is
usually wild caught, which means it has high levels of
the good Omega-3 fats. This can be a wonderful
snack, lunch or dinner!
