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
