    About this ebook

    Your brain could be suffering without your knowledge.

    Most likely your brain is suffering at this very moment and you have no way of knowing or finding out, until you start to notice irreversible signs of decline.

    Our current diet is leading to all kinds of health problems: obesity, cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular disease, with increasing evidence that it also triggers Alzheimer’s disease, now seen by some researchers as another form of diabetes, an issue addressed in this book.

    What can we do? Awareness campaigns for healthy diets have achieved limited success. Many continue to follow fad diets, but most do it for aesthetic reasons or health problems.

    Some popular diets like the Mediterranean and DASH diets are specifically focused on preventing cardiovascular disease and hypertension.

    And what about the brain? We have left it to the mercy of our bad eating habits, preservatives in processed foods, excess sugar and fat, and environmental contaminants. All this happens because our brain does not complain – it does not have pain receptors – so we are not aware of its suffering and deterioration until it is too late.

    It is time to take care of our brain and prevent it from failing before the rest of our body by following a healthy diet that maintains its health and proper functioning.

    In "The MIND Diet, Nutrition to Help Prevent Alzheimer's Disease,” you will discover what Alzheimer’s is and its causes and symptoms, among other topics, including a nutritional strategy for your daily life – all with a simple and direct style, addressed to the general public. As an easy-to-follow diet based on the latest scientific studies, the MIND diet can improve your overall health and dramatically reduce your risk of getting Alzheimer's disease.

      The Mind Diet, Nutrition to Help Prevent Alzheimer's Disease - Victor R. Ramos

      Why this book

      This book can help you live better.

      The general perception in society today is that our current diet is leading to all kinds of health problems: obesity, cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and hypertension. Although many try to do something to correct this situation by following fad diets, most only do so to improve their appearance or because they already have health problems.

      And what about the brain? We have left it to the mercy of our bad eating habits, preservatives in processed foods, excess sugar and fat, and environmental contaminants. All this happens because our brain does not have pain receptors, so we are not aware of its suffering and deterioration until it is too late. No wonder neurodegenerative diseases have increased dramatically in recent years.

      Most likely your brain is suffering at this very moment and you have no way of knowing or finding out, until you start to notice irreversible signs of decline.

      Now is the time to make the care of our brain a priority, be aware of the damage we are causing it without realizing, and do everything in our power to maintain the brain’s health and proper functioning. This will prevent it from declining before the rest of our body, as many people are unfortunately already experiencing.

      Over last five years, I have witnessed the symptoms and suffering of neurodegenerative diseases, especially senile dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, on people and those around them.

      Two of my close relatives have suffered from this disease, causing me to investigate, read and study various sources to better understand the disease, its causes and recently discovered methods for preventing or delaying its onset and development. In addition, I have researched the best treatment methods for patients and those affected by the consequences of this terrible disease.

      The information found in this publication is a condensed version of what I researched and read in books on the subject, recently published articles in scientific magazines and general interest magazines with reputable sources, as well as my own professional and personal experiences.

      I hope that this information is useful.

      PART 1

      ALZHEIMER’S

      UNDERSTANDING THE DISEASE

      Alzheimer’s is one of the most feared diseases.

      Few people know how to be old.

      La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

      A study done by the MetLife Foundation in February 2011 concluded that Alzheimer’s disease is the second most feared disease among American adults, only behind cancer. And this fear doesn’t just affect older people. (1)

      When respondents were asked which of the five current major diseases they’re most afraid of, 31% said Alzheimer’s disease, while 41% said cancer.

      Heart disease and strokes were named at 8% each, while only 6% said they were more afraid of diabetes.

      The majority of respondents (62%) admitted they know little to nothing about Alzheimer’s, which explains why so few are thinking about what to do in case they or their family members get the disease.

      Only 18%, less than one in five, have developed a plan that includes options for care, living arrangements and/or financial planning.

      Today, more than five million people in the United States have Alzheimer’s disease.

      That number is expected to increase dramatically over the next 20 years.

      44% of surveyed adults indicated that they have family members or friends with Alzheimer’s.

      In summary, the general
