Why not use 100% cocoa powder in porridge - make sure its not got any carbonate added, that ruins polyphenols. I use tesco own brand. And i drink Clipper white tea (even more polyphenols and less caffiene than green tea). As for berries, my deepfreeze is full of blackberries picked locally - they grow everywhere on abundance in August and September - much better than supermarket!

Cocoa powder is a great alternative to chocolate, since no sugar is added. Be sure to get the kind that is not "Dutched" for best effect.

The only thing about dark chocolate is that the plant that produces it is very good at absorbing heavy metals and most chocolate has trace heavy metals on them, I believe cadmium was the main one. So you have to be careful how much you consume.

[@mandandi]

OK. Then its also good to take charcoal and bentonite clay once a week to absorb the heavy metals in the body. Enjoy your cacao and clean out the heavy metals.

[@Sagittarius-A-Star]

Unfortunately the high quality Cocoa grows in areas where the soil contains Cadmium ☹

As an ethical vegan, who also educated myself about nutrition, I only consume a wholefood plant based diet, and eat flax and chia seeds, but I'm aware that Algae oil supplements are available in lieu of fish. Plus I have inherited a photographic memory, which is still fine. And yes sleep is important too. But avoiding stress is also important, as so many employers stress out the employees, and that is when people eat junk food.

I wonder if in some cases of memory loss if the memory in question still exists in the neural network but the person cannot recall it, so I wonder if there are nutrients, some sort of TMS or therapeutic strategies or exercises to reconnect with that memory. That there are representatives of experiences held in our brains is wonderful and where no sensory information, that our brains create sensory experience. Dreams, memories of feeling. ❤

[@niranjansj9727]

Almonds are also known to improve memory.

[@donsena2013]

Insulin sensitivity is relatively low in the morning, so that fruit in the morning should be discouraged. A protein-based meal is best as first meal of the day, followed by at least a two-hour pause to allow for digestion (and to avoid unfavorable food combinig), after which fruit can then be taken, when insulin sensitivity is up

Fish could be replaced by other sources of Omega 3, like ground flax seeds, chia seeds, walnuts, and algae based DHA/EPA supplements. The largest organization of nutrition professionals officially declared- "It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that appropriately planned vegetarian, including vegan, diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits for the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. These diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, adolescence, older adulthood, and for athletes. Plant-based diets are more environmentally sustainable than diets rich in animal products because they use fewer natural resources and are associated with much less environmental damage. *Vegetarians and vegans are at reduced risk of certain health conditions, including ischemic heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, certain types of cancer, and obesity.* Low intake of saturated fat and high intakes of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, soy products, nuts, and seeds (all rich in fiber and phytochemicals) are characteristics of vegetarian and vegan diets that produce lower total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and better serum glucose control. These factors contribute to reduction of chronic disease. Vegans need reliable sources of vitamin B-12, such as fortified foods or supplements." -Full abstract from the position paper as found on PubMed from the National Institutes of Health

I think it would help validate what is being said if you provided the reference sources.

[@308dad8]

OK we’re getting somewhere. I have some follow up questions for you. 1) can we be sure those “improved memory scores” were the result of eating fruit or the result of not being malnourished? 2) can you cite actual studies or just say that “studies show” because you’re reading a script? My Grandmother ate what the government recommended and still got Alzheimer’s even though she worked everyday, even though she was really smart she even forgot me, one of her closest grandkids. She had no idea who I was. She wasn’t a smoker or drinker so you can’t blame that and she wasn’t lazy So lifestyle is completely eliminated from causation. Maybe the grains and sugar whether refined or carbohydrates are to blame? Some have speculated that Alzheimer’s is caused by oxidation in our brains and not cooking in aluminum, copper or iron cookware would’ve prevented this, would it have? They claim stainless steel would’ve prevented it but you have a proven source of dangerous chromium in stainless steel, so no it’s no better. So cook on glass only? Well it’s a thought but glass can be troublesome too from certain heavy metals used to give glass its colors.

[@dolinaj1]

Dementia other than genetic is considered Type 3 diabetes. Too many sugars are unhealthy; too high blood glucose is unhealthy for us all. And yes, there is no protocol that guarantees complete protection from any disease process.

[@JosephNkakalukanyi]

That’s what we call a risk, these studies on most occasions they are assessing the risk of getting some thing. It doesn’t mean that if you are not at risk of getting a condition you can’t suffer from it. For example taking Alcohol puts at risk of get Alzheimer’s disease, this doesn’t mean that someone can’t suffer from the disease if she doesn’t take Alcohol neither does it mean that everyone taking Alcohol will suffer from the disease

You miss the research carried out recently in 2017 in which it had been proved that a continuous very small dose of THC improves the brain of the elderly. And then there is the rare situation that one moves to a different country being 80 years old and has to learn the different language. This fact alone improves memory.

[@someguy2135]

Learning a second language could also be done without moving, but moving would force you to study harder.

[@engineeringka14da]

Exactly! The key is to never stop learning. Just how you if you don't drive a car for too long it gets malfunctioned and rusty instead of lasting longer. Use it or lose it. You gotta keep polishing those neurons

Honestly, I did know that fast food can't really improve anything much but make you feel stuffed when you eat too much. And I don't usually enjoy any of lists mentioned in the video except purple grapes and for chocolate, it must be sweet ones.

[@JBroMukbang]

Grapes/Grape Juice Blue Berries/Any berries I guess Dark Chocolate Fish/Fish Oil Dont eat too much junk foods Eat greeny foods, vegetables and fruits Exercise daily Get enough sleep, 7-8 hours, if you have time in the afternoon you can nap for 3-5 hours. Exercise your brain by playing board games and other brain training games, read books and learn something new everyday, watch documentaries and news, watch educational videos Limit screen time, too much screen time causes poor memory and poor attention span because the uv light affects your brain, the uv light also gives you insomnia and fatigue. Meditate/Manage Stress Breathe fresh air, go outside for a walk or ride your bike Socialize with people.

[@ArjunSingh-fv4cb]

In my humblest of experience, processed foods including the food products that contain additives and preservatives or have undergone controlled environment processes to synthesize a longevity of shelf time, are, at more instances then otherwise, produced as taste enhancers, meant to increase immediate appreciativeness to food consumption beyond simply the nourishment requirement. This in itself is metabolism enhancing, and helps sustaining an optimal motor functionality for saliva and enzyme secretion, conjuring a practiced neural backdrop for concentrated eating and thus promoting our body to stay dynamically creative with the mixing of gastric juices and digestive metabolism to extract energy and nutrients from these concentratively and fondly eaten superlative foods, mostly of which hold a diverse nutrient mix, in addition to their prime nutrition carrier on virtue of their supermarket validity. As I mentioned, yeah, a certain category of processed food items are simply meant for superlative taste and flavour gratification, yet every decent healthy body has a modulation spectrum to accommodate such escapades when a balanced, and regionality and favoured biosystem aligned nutritional diet remains at least deferred constant in the dietary repertoire. From this dedicated perspective, a lot to do is with the way a body has been trained, and that craftily balanced and experience acquired diversity with which the taste and eating instincts have been made to evolve over the years from the infancy; and thus ideally if the foods that have always been part of a diet retain a regular consistency of sorts in the diet, the most staunch of the dietary habits too can be made inclusive. The only factor that can be attributed to nutrition to benefit congestion can be over accumulation of disposable energy which lot many categories of processed foods and the all hoarding supermarket and food joint culture can be sarcastically attributed to, and this disposable energy, not disposable income, energy... that the body organically demands to dissipate, responding to it as it would while preparing for a lean period of nutritional intake and that leads to certain noticeable health symptoms, including over sweating, digestive imbalance, over eating, sleep pattern shifts, surplus accumulation of fats, lethargy and depleted concentration. And these symptoms can be countered simply by good physio-psychological well being and healthy and nurturing intimacy, and the achieved benefits can be further enhanced through regular gymnasium practices like weight and aerobic exercises, and swimming, or by regular sessions of concentrated energy invested outdoor activities like cycling, burst jogging, trekking and brisk walking and even long drives and rides. The social and soft cultural aspect of processed food should also be included in this ideation, as the sites of their sales and serving remain the leading sites of social interaction, and urban recreation; an essential binding feature of the otherwise fast paced, individualistic living patterns that were the prevalent trends of the last generation of urban centers around the world. Pardon me for writing so much, yet considered this thought feebly contributing to the theme ideation of this motion feature. Salute'
