When a renown neurologist in Taiwan discovered herself suffering from the onset of dementia, Dr. Liu* went public on what is ailing her. Instead of fear-mongering the public, she suggests to us the many other measures that we can do to help our brain stay healthier.
According to the good doctor, besides being both mentally and physically proactive with positive attitude, certain foods and eating habits can also help us keep this debilitating mental malaise at bay.
And the following is what the Doc has ordered.
• Chew our food well and eat slowly.
The motion to chew brings blood/nutrients to the brain.
• Make sure having breakfast each morning.
Nutrients in food help replenishing the glucose lost during sleep the night before.
• Stay hydrated/exercise chi-kung:
Water and oxygen are essential for good health.
• Have sufficient folic acid and Vitamin B12:
Both are considered brain foods.
• Add curry in diet:
Turmeric in curry is considered a strong antioxidant.
