How Foods Affect Brain Health<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\r\n

\"Alzheimer's

Alzheimer’s Care Roswell, GA – Reduce the Risk of Alzheimer’s Disease by Avoiding These Four Foods<\/p><\/div>\r\n

<\/h4>\r\nWhat foods are eaten by individuals (especially if the foods are eaten in excess) can decrease brain health. Some foods have been linked to the creation of amyloid plaques in the brain. These sticky protein clusters damage the parts of the brain needed for brain functions like memory and problem-solving.\r\n

<\/h4>\r\nIt\u2019s also known that certain health conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, all increase the risk of dementia, so the connection between poor eating habits and those diseases is directly linked. Therefore, what your loved one eats can make a difference in when or if she will develop dementia.\r\n

<\/h4>\r\n

Four Foods That May Harm Brain Health<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\r\n

<\/h4>\r\nSome foods can contribute to dementia due to the types of nutrients they contain and how they interact with the body. Consuming too many simple carbohydrates, processed foods, and sugars can stimulate the production of toxins in the body. With that knowledge, these four foods are often recommended to be removed from most people\u2019s diets, or at least, highly reduce the amount that is consumed of each one.\r\n

<\/h4>\r\nProcessed Cheeses and Meats.<\/em><\/strong> These food items convert to nitrites in the body, leading to inflammation, a large risk factor for developing Alzheimer\u2019s disease. Common meats that are highly processed include bacon, ham, and smoked turkey, while common cheeses that are highly processed include American cheese, mozzarella sticks, and spray cheese from a can.\r\n

<\/h4>\r\nSimple Carbohydrates.<\/strong> <\/em>Refined foods cause sugar levels in the blood system to spike insulin production and lead to the creation of toxic proteins that are linked to Alzheimer\u2019s disease. Foods that are considered simple carbohydrates and should be limited in the diet include pasta, white bread, white rice, pastries, and cakes.\r\n

<\/h4>\r\nMicrowave Popcorn.<\/strong> <\/em>While unbuttered popcorn made in a pan can be a healthy snack, microwave popcorn has been discovered to be harmful to brain health. It contains diacetyl, a chemical that may increase those dangerous amyloid plaques in the brain.\r\n

<\/h4>\r\nBeer and red wine.<\/strong><\/em> Both of these alcoholic drinks contain those nitrates that become harmful nitrites in the body.\r\n

<\/h4>\r\n

When You Need Alzheimer\u2019s Care for Your Elderly Loved One<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\r\n

<\/h4>\r\nIt\u2019s possible that even if your elderly loved one only eats all the right foods, she may develop Alzheimer\u2019s Disease, especially if she has other risk factors for the disease. As a caregiver, being prepared for this eventuality when caring for your elderly loved one can help you support her through this disease.\r\n

<\/h4>\r\nAlzheimer\u2019s care providers can walk with you and your loved one as the disease progresses, providing needed support as her needs change. An Alzheimer\u2019s care provider can customize and change the care provided as you navigate the changes the disease causes in your loved one\u2019s brain health. Having that support can make all the difference in the quality of life both you and your loved one have while she battles Alzheimer\u2019s disease.\r\n
