Top Tips For Keeping Your Mind Sharp And Preventing Alzheimer's Dementia!

Because I am a kidney doctor, I usually am focused on talking about foods that relate to kidney disease. This week I am going to step out of my comfort zone and switch gears from the kidneys to the brain. I want to dedicate this video to my amazing grandmother Myra, who I lost about 15 years ago to Alzheimer's Dementia.
If you have ever seen someone go through dementia, you know how heartbreaking it is for everyone involved- for not only the person, but the family members as well. So I have been studying diet and dementia risks and I want to share with you what I found about foods that will lower the risk of cognitive decline.

Working as a kidney doctor, I found that my patients were often unaware of just how important diet and lifestyle were and how often they felt unsupported by generic advice to “eat healthy”.
The home cook in me hated hearing this, so I set out to find a better way. I began to combine my medical training and love of food, making videos of simple recipes that were based on science and packed with flavor. Instead of just saying “eat healthy” to my patients, I could give them the resources they needed to make a real difference in their health.
Kidney doctor, passionate home cook, and KZbin sensation Dr Blake Shusterman empowers people to proactively manage their health by stepping into the kitchen. The author of several cookbooks with over 100,000 KZbin subscribers, The Cooking Doc® believes anyone, at any age can transform their health with small changes that make a big difference. Based on science and packed with flavor, Dr. Blake’s simple recipes have inspired home cooks everywhere to change their diet, retrain their taste buds, and transform their health.

Thank you for your research and letting us know.

❤ U R so Awesome!! Thank You! Your thoughtfulness and input Realy "Helped" me on my Living Program..at 73 years young!!!❤😊

[@carmenortiz5294]

Thanks for the suggestion, they do seem logical. (If only I stopped eating candy!) One thing I thought are they kidding? Read that putting together puzzles would help. Got one with 750 pieces (lets over do it). First few days a huge stuggle then after a week, I was noticing pieces and putting them in place at a fast speed. Why I tried it, I was having issues remembering. My mother started showing signs in her 40's and for me my intelligence has always been very important. I'm over 30 years older than she was, regardless, that's the last thing I want. My diet has been changing, and what you mentioned is now a lot more common. So, I guess the two things together have been a huge help.

[@user-nf1yq3en1w]

What category would fruits (apples, bananas, grapes, pears, citrus, etc.), dairy (milk, fermented milk, yogurt, etc.) and eggs go to in the MIND diet? A bit confused.

[@billes.5678]

There is a plant and a tinture that I have been using and it works in deminising Early dementia ...I have been using them for 5 months and I feel beter that ever

[@jocelynedwards1873]

Would you mind sharing the plant & tincture info?

[@katherinekelly5380]

Would ground flax be a good substitute for fish to get the omega3 fatty acids?

[@kathrynjanzen5618]

A teaspoon of olive oil every day will do it. Good quality, cold pressed.

[@zain4915]

No, omega from flax seeds doesn't convert to EPA, DHA

[@helenndow1101]

I like walnut oil for everything, don’t use any thing else

[@lindaguida4074]

How old was Myra when she passed away?

[@quickerticker7901]

What about KETO? or Carnivore?

[@akirby2886]

Dark Chocolate too, do you agree??

[@todaysnarrative879]

Probably more important is that these foods keep weight and blood pressure down

[@logicalrealistic3139]

Mediterranean food will be very difficult for many people especially Asians I don't really like fish 😢I like cheese, - processed food

[@paulwebb2010]

Does he have something wrong with his eyes? They keep looking up? Interesting topic

[@strouty]

It looks like he is reading from a screen, as most people do on television. As you look closely, his eyes turn from left to right.

[@littlevoice_11]

Exogenous ketones and mct have been found in clinical studies to help. This is largely due to the insulin resistance found in the neurones of those with dementia preventing the use of glucose. Therefore, ketones can provide this much needed fuel. They can also reduce inflammation and work on a number of other pathways to have wider health benefits. Even those without dementia can benefit from cognitive enhancements such as improvements in mood, memory, and concentration.

My Dad ate all the right foods, it says on his death certificate he was senile.

[@edogletree5175]

My mom died at 95 and she loved jimmy dean sauage, bacon and all the bad foods., like “fried every thing” and sweet tea everyday. The week she died her mind was sharp as a tack and she recounted 😮details and events of her life, from primitive car to man on moon. It is in the genes..I hope I have enough of hers.

[@lindaguida4074]

It’s all about your genes!!

[@kathrynjanzen5618]

Funny that you suggest meat is not good and then talk about your grandma's amazing brisket!

[@shirleystein6521]

Perhaps he means cheap packet meat which has a lot of salt and additives. A good quality beef steak from the butcher would be a good choice.

[@QESPINCETI]

WAY TOO MUCH TAKING INSTEAD OF GETTING TO THE POINT OF THE VIDEO

[@theunknownfbi]

What do you suggest??

[@kathysalto7227]

Right stop balone n give me info

[@Vamatt99218]

When did you stop the video?

[@MakingworldBetter88]

you definitely need more research time, animal proteins are the cause. NO MEAT, NO MILK, NO EGGS, no fish. 1 to teaspoons of olive oil per week.

[@michealfriedman7084]

No, they are not. The causation seems to Insulin resistance. In fact, it's the causation of most diseases.

[@shirleystein6521]

The experts have now proven that a vegan and/or vegetarian diet is not healthy. Yes, less meat and carbs are healthier, but it has been proven that the body needs the protein and amino acids from good quality meat. Eggs are also healthy in moderation, preferably organic. Cheese too is healthy in moderation, especially sheep and goat's cheese.

[@Mary-ui4im]

Go Vegan! 🕊️

[@thecookingdoc]

Go Mary! I try to eat vegan as well most of the time, but I do slip a little meat into my diet here and there.

0:17 You say your name is "Doctor" Blake Shusterman? You do know that "Doctor" is not a name right? If you can't get that basic fact right how can we believe anything else you say? LOL

[@penniroyal4398]

Dr is a title that this man has earned the right to use. When you visit your doctor do you say “I Jim, I haven’t felt good for the last month?” No you say Hi Doctor (fill in the blank) I haven’t felt good for the last month. It’s rude not to use the well deserved title medical doctors have earned.

[@chopjockey]

@@penniroyal4398 Like you said, Doctor is a title, not a name. So a doctor should say ""I am Doctor Bloggs. Not "My name is Doctor Bloggs". I'm all for using a title in the right context. It shows lack of education if you use a title and say it's your name...
