Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Last week we discussed three foods for keeping your mind healthy. This week we present three more, courtesy of Dr. Weil on Healthy Aging! Omega-3 fatty acids. The omega-3 fats found in salmon (look for wild Alaskan salmon or canned sockeye), sardines and flaxseeds (freshly ground is best) appear to protect against age-related memory loss and Alzheimer's disease. Herring, black cod, fortified eggs, walnuts and hemp seeds are other good sources of omega-3s. Turmeric. Research suggests that turmeric, the major ingredient in American mustard and Indian curry, can reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease. This may help explain the unusually low incidence of Alzheimer's in India, where people consume significant amounts of turmeric every day. Use this culinary spice to give a healthy, tangy flavor to your favorite eastern cuisine. Ginger. This natural anti-inflammatory agent has been linked to a reduced risk of Alzheimer's. You can add ginger to your diet by eating crystallized ginger or sampling the pickled ginger that comes with sushi, as well as by using ginger as a spice when cooking."Get off your ass and take your government back." ~Rocky Ward Cheap Talk?
