Good evening Everyone!
I just want to tell you that whilst awaiting diagnosis for dad's Alzheimers five years ago I looked up a lot of information on how to keep the brain healthy. I read that eating a lot of fruit vegetables especially those with iron or vitamin C were very good. These included avocados, spinach, kale and greens but unfortunately with the exception of avocados the other three items started doing things to our stomachs and even with what I now know was mild Alzheimers said this is giving me a bad stomach. We had trouble with this diet eventually because we were both on thyroxine! I just wanted to tell everyone this because I contributed to @jennifer1967's Advice Please thread and I realise that a diet to prevent dementia could be a whole new thread. When dad had his blood test before diagnosis it was found that metformin was making him slightly anaemic so he needed more red meat. I mentioned vegetables but the doctor said meat was the answer to this. The vegetables contained some but not enough to prevent anaemic but it did send us to the toilet!
