Salmon contains omega-3 fatty acids that protect the integrity of brain cell membranes, promote communication between nerve cells, increase blood flow to the brain, support the production of new brain cells, and reduce inflammation.
Cauliflower contains glucosinolates, which are converted to isothiocyanates when chewed.
Isothiocyanates have been shown to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation. Broccoli also contains vitamins C, K, and A, along with minerals like potassium, calcium, and iron.
The main ingredient in turmeric is curcumin, which has the ability to reduce inflammation, improve memory and slow the formation of amyloid plaques - a key feature of Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's disease is a common form of dementia, causing memory loss, thinking ability, and learning.
We should not add too much salt to salmon; substitute ingredients rich in refined carbohydrates for cauliflower.
Excess salt and refined carbohydrates can cause brain inflammation. Foods low in processed ingredients, sugar, and unhealthy fats help prevent Alzheimer's disease and promote overall health.
Also avoid processed meats like red meat and sausages, as well as foods high in sugar. These foods have been shown to cause insulin resistance, a risk factor for dementia.
