Eight Things People with Dementia Should Avoid
Since proper nutrition is the building foundation from which our bodies fight off disease, half the battle in improving symptoms of dementia is knowing what NOT to eat, or how NOT to prepare your food. Check out these eight principals that will be sure to make you think twice about what you put into your mouth.
1) No Milk - All dairy milk products should be eliminated from the diet of someone with Dementia. Instead, they should look elsewhere for their dairy needs. Milk made from soy, rice, almonds and goats are best.
2) No Beef - People with Dementia should eliminate red meat as well as all processed meats such as sausage and hot dogs. In their place, you can partake in plant based sources such as soy or alfalfa sprouts and fish. Fish like tuna, sardines, salmon and cod carry high quality Omega 3 Fatty Acids which are beneficial to the body.
3) No Fried Foods - KFc, McDonalds, Burger King and all the other fast food restaurants serve up delectable foods. However, they are prepared in saturated fats which contain free radicals that are not good for the body.
4) Alcohol - Partaking in alcoholic beverages should be extremely limited. A recent research study in France suggested that having a glass of red wine once or twice a day was extremely beneficial in fighting stress. The reason for this is the antioxidant activity of the oligomeric proanthocyanidin substances found in the wine.
5) No Sugar! - Eliminate refined sugars from foods such as cakes, donuts, cookies, brownies, etc. Also eliminate foods containing aspartame/Nutrasweet/Equal or saccharine.
6) No Licorice - Although the sweet taste of licorice is a very amongst most everyone, it should be eliminated from the diet. Unfortunately, this tasty treat potentiates cortisol which then leads to compromised potassium intake which can than lead to hypokalemia.
7) No Stress - Stress leads to cortisol, which mentioned above leads to compromised potassium intake. In addition, it is very important not to induce undue stress with things such as refined sugars, nicotine, caffeine, processed foods or red meat.
8) Avoid Aluminum - For years, there has been significant speculation that aluminum contributes to Dementia. Therefore, it is very important to avoid ingesting aluminum from foods, cookware, antacids and antiperspirants as they have been linked to Alzheimer's disease, a form of Dementia. - 17269
