However, some foods can <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/touchinghearts.com\/middletn\/contact\/\">help a person preserve their memory<\/a><\/em><\/strong>. Studies have shown that some dietary regimens are often associated with decreased memory loss. They could put a person at risk for dementia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/touchinghearts.com\/blog\/middletn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/bigstock-food-salmon-fillet-with-vegetables-76601543-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Elder Care Nashville TN - Best Foods for Boosting Memory in an Elder\" class=\"wp-image-1067\" \/><figcaption>Elder Care Nashville TN &#8211; Best Foods for Boosting Memory in an Elder<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Several experts suggest a person eats a MIND diet. This stands for the Mediterranean diet. This type of diet is a combination of two diets &#8211; the DASH and Mediterranean diets. They include the best food for boosting memory in an elder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep reading to learn more about the best foods for boosting memory in the elderly today.  Their elder care aides can help with this too.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Leafy Green Veggies <\/em><\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Leafy green veggies can help your elderly loved one maintain a healthy memory. Some of the types of green vegetables your elderly loved one should eat include the following:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Kale <\/li><li>Collard  <\/li><li>Mustard greens <\/li><li>Spinach <\/li><li>Turnip greens <\/li><li>Different types of green salad <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>All of these foods contain folate and B9. These are known to improve cognition issues. Some studies even show that these foods often help reduce symptoms of depression. It is recommended that a person get 6 servings of leafy green veggies each week. If needed, you or elder care providers should encourage your elderly loved one to eat more leafy green veggies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Legumes and Beans <\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Legumes and beans are also known to help improve certain types of memory issues. These foods contain many important vitamins and supplements such as the following: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Magnesium <\/li><li>Iron <\/li><li>Folate <\/li><li>Potassium <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Some studies show that beans and legumes can also help enhance brain function. Your elderly loved one should eat about 3 servings of legumes and beans every week.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Omega-3s  <\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There have been studies that show people who have omega 3&#8217;s in their diet are less likely to have brain lesions. In addition, the risks of getting dementia are much lower for people who eat omega-3\u2019s than those who don\u2019t. Some of the ways that your elderly loved one can get omega fatty acids in their diet are from the following: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Flax seeds <\/li><li>Fish <\/li><li>Supplements <\/li><li>Most experts recommend a person eat fish about once a week. <\/li><li>Cherries\/Berries <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Many brains are damaged because of free radicals. Cherries and berries contain anthocyanin which helps protect the brain from this type of damage. They are also great for fighting inflammation. As a family caregiver, you and elder care providers should make sure your elderly loved one eats 2 or more servings of cherries or berries each week.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A healthy diet can help boost the memory of your elderly loved one. As a family caregiver, it is important that you get your elderly loved one to consume the foods listed here today. Their body and mind will be better for it.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sources:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/11-brain-foods<\/li><li>https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2805706\/<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mce_0\"><strong>If you or an aging loved-one are considering <\/strong><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/touchinghearts.com\/middletn\/services\/meal-preparation\/\">Elder Care Services in Nashville TN<\/a><\/strong><\/em><strong>, please contact the caring staff at Touching Hearts at Home.
