It is strange that the issue of nutrition is such a big thing in our country, but there are a lot of factors involved. As sad as it is, there are social and economic barriers preventing people from getting healthy diets.<br />Hunter Alexander (1) Hunter Alexandernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008122866340502585.post-84884012654414700712013-03-03T12:02:54.501-08:002013-03-03T12:02:54.501-08:00Yes, there are definitely certain foods recommende...Yes, there are definitely certain foods recommended by doctors to prevent Alzheimer's. Seafood and nuts are large components of that. Seafood especially because they are a great source of Omega 3 fatty acids which a thought to prevent Alzheimer's. Learning is definitely important as well, because keeping the brain active is one of the best ways of protecting it.<br />Hunter Alexander (1)Hunter Alexandernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008122866340502585.post-22050535900977724462013-03-01T16:26:23.612-08:002013-03-01T16:26:23.612-08:00This article brings up a good point of highlightin...This article brings up a good point of highlighting the correlation between what humans eat with the function of their brain. Although, this article is specifically focused around preventative measures for Alzheimers and diabetes by paying attention to our snacking habits, our nutrition is correlated with a lot of consequential diseases. I find that if people focus more on having a balanced diet that follows the food pyramid, a lot of the complicated suggestions on what to or not to eat to prevent any disease would be re- solved. <br /><br />Marshall Moini(2)Peter Houlihanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961900865379520219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008122866340502585.post-85137652295686887262013-03-01T13:03:45.549-08:002013-03-01T13:03:45.549-08:00I'm a little sensitive to sensationalist title...I'm a little sensitive to sensationalist titles, and I think claiming that the food we eat is causing Alzheimer's is quite a stretch. The paper from Brown you talked about linked insulin deficiency (type 1 diabetes) as well as insulin resistance (type 2) to neurodegeneration caused by Alzheimer's. Type 1 is genetic and has nothing to do with obesity or processed foods.<br /><br />Joseph Starrett(3)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12699837191587599723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008122866340502585.post-52691662062769869792013-02-28T16:10:08.086-08:002013-02-28T16:10:08.086-08:00I have read articles about certain foods that can ...I have read articles about certain foods that can possibly help prevent or atleast hold-back the effects of alzheimer's disease such as certain nuts,and clams (can't remember any others at the moment). Do you think that these foods could possibly countereffect eating high sugary foods?<br />I have also heard that learning something knew such as playing an instrument or a language may also help fend-off alzheimer's disease.<br />Tonya Sulham (3)Peter Houlihanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961900865379520219noreply@blogger.com
