The number of dementia patients is increasing year by year, bringing heavy burdens on families and society. In addition to medical and medicine, can we find a way to prevent it from our daily diet? Japanese doctor Etotsuru Takatoshi, who specializes in dementia, proposed a simple and potential suggestion: eating curry 2 to 3 times a week may effectively prolong brain aging and reduce dementia risks.
With the addition of high-elimination society, dementia has become an important subject that affects the quality of life of the elderly. Through daily diet, you can also prevent dementia to a certain extent. Doctor Flying Teng pointed out that eating curry 2 to 3 times a week will help maintain brain health, and the key is to match spices and various ingredients.
The important ingredient in curry, "Yellow" contains a polyphenol called ginger, which has strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Fate Teng pointed out that these two major characteristics are considered to be the main cause of Alzheimer's dementia, which is the accumulation of — — β genus syrup protein. Suitable use of curry containing ginger can promote internal fertilization and delay recognition of degeneration.
In addition to ginger, the meat, green yellow vegetables and root-shaped ingredients that are often paired with curry, such as red sausage, macadamia, etc., also provide support for brain health. Nutrients in vegetables help regulate blood sugar, lower calcification, and prevent hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes and other daily habits, which are highly related to dementia.
According to a long-term survey of residents of Kuyama-cho, Fukuoka Prefecture, people with a higher number of soybean products, dairy products, vegetables and seaweed have lower risks of dementia. These dietary habits are incompatible with the variety of curry ingredients, indicating that if the curry is matched correctly, it may become a dish that is beneficial to the brain.
Feng further pointed out that the effect will be more significant when paired with citrus fruits rich in "nobilitine", such as Oyster's specialty lemon. The ingredient also has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Those who consume citrus almost every day have a 14% lower risk of dementia than those who consume less than twice a week.
Feng also reminded that relying on curry is not enough to completely prevent dementia. A 10-year study by the National Senior Medical Research Center pointed out that the risk of degeneration of cognitive function among people with diverse diets is 44% lower than that of those with partial eating. Therefore, it is recommended to use curry as a balanced diet, rather than a single staple food.
In summary, curry 2 to 3 times a week, if combined with ingredients such as vegetables and lemons, and a variety of balanced diets will help prevent dementia from daily life and maintain brain health.
