Age-Related Cognitive Decline

Protecting Memory with Age

Why it matters:
As we age, oxidative stress, inflammation, and reduced circulation can slow thinking and memory. 1 in 9 adults over 65 experiences significant cognitive decline. Nutrition helps protect the brain against aging.

How it works:

  • Omega-3s (DHA) → preserve brain structure and function.
  • Curcumin → reduces inflammation and clears amyloid plaques.
  • Resveratrol → supports circulation and antioxidant defense.
  • Vitamin D → supports cognition and mood.
  • Ginkgo Biloba → boosts blood flow to the brain.

Foods that help:

  • Fatty fish, walnuts, chia → Omega-3s
  • Turmeric + black pepper → curcumin
  • Grapes, blueberries → resveratrol
  • Eggs, fortified foods → Vitamin D
  • Ginkgo teas or supplements

Lifestyle tip:

Lifelong learning, puzzles, and social activity keep the brain sharp alongside good nutrition.

Helpful for:

  • Older adults
  • Memory changes with age
  • Preventing long-term decline
