Avoiding Alzheimier

An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:

Currently the major health problems are cancers & heart problems. Something which may not yet be a problem is dementia(alzheimier). However as the population gets older we may see more cases of alzheimier. Especially since Sporeans are eating a more western diet.

So how do you minimize the risk of getting dementia:confused:

The article I read mentions that eating a gluten free diet improves alzheimier. So even if you are not allergic to glutton it might be healthier to go glutton free.

So to minimize the chances of getting problems, one should:
avoid gluten
limit grain & sugar
eat more fat: cholesterol is good for your brain. If you are vegetarian you fave to ensure you get enough veg fats.
exercise
drink water: drink half your weight in ounces everyday e.g. someone who is 150 pounds should drink 75 ounces(9 glasses)
avoid processed foods: includes white sugar, white rice, white bread. Eat organic
coffee is good: If you don't like coffee, take a look at green coffee http://www.iherb.com/search?sug=gree...fee&rank=1#p=1
take supplements for the brain
