Are you worried about ‘brain fog’, your thinking is fuzzy, having memory lapses, you can’t find a particular word, remember someone’s name or focus well? Or have you noticed these little changes in conversation with a loved one?

Maybe you, or they, go into a room and can’t remember why? Do you read a page in a book or magazine and have to read it again as you didn’t take anything in.

Alzheimer’s is the leading killer of women, three times more deaths than breast cancer, and the third biggest killer for men so it is important to work on prevention especially if you have a family history.

How Nutrition Can Help

Your brain function does change as you get older, and you may find that words and putting faces to names sometimes eludes you and retrieving information may be more difficult. But what you eat can have an enormous impact on your memory and concentration and, also your risk of Alzheimer’s.

Research has shown that eating a Mediterranean diet is linked to a reduced incidence of cognitive decline. The advice is to increase the consumption of fresh fruit and vegetables, olive oil and eat more oily fish.

Making sure you keep your blood sugar in balance is also important as blood sugar and insulin have been so closely linked with an increased risk of Alzheimer’s that it has been suggested that Alzheimer’s should be called type 3 diabetes.

The research suggests that there is a 20-to-30-year interval between first development of amyloid plaque and onset of Alzheimer’s. So, no matter what age you are it is never too late to change your diet and lifestyle. 

Nutrients

As well as eating a healthy diet, supplementation is beneficial as research has shown that certain nutrients can help with preventing the plaque forming in the brain which is present in Alzheimer’s and, also help improving blood flow and inflammation.

Some nutrients like the amino acid acetyl-L-carnitine helps with increasing brain receptors that would normally deteriorate with age and others such as the B vitamins help to prevent brain shrinkage.

Acetyl-L-carnitine works with coenzyme Q10 and alpha lipoic acid to maintain the function of the mitochondria. The mitochondria are the power houses of your cells, they provide the energy for your cells to function and survive.

These tests can give you invaluable insights into understanding what is going on in your body at the moment and can tell you what vitamin and mineral deficiencies you may have.

The interpretation of these results lets you know what supplements you need to take and what amounts of specific nutrients are needed in order to help you improve your memory, concentration, focus and support your general health.

In the clinic we use an exclusive Brain Protection Profile Test that checks whether you have any deficiencies or imbalances in different vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and other markers from one blood sample. The test checks for:

Minerals – calcium, chromium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, selenium and zinc
Vitamins – A, C, D3, E, folate, B vitamins
Essential fatty acids – Omega 6 to Omega 3 ratio, plus EPA, DHA, AA, ALA and GLA

Homocysteine – Research has shown that if the level of homocysteine is high than it doubles the risk of developing Alzheimer's
HbAlc – To check for risk of diabetes
Heavy Metals – Mercury and aluminium

We can also test how stressed you are by measuring cortisol with saliva samples which is convenient and accurate, and the sample is collected at home and then posted back to the lab.

All the tests we use in the clinic are carried out by accredited scientific laboratories in the UK and the USA.

Your nutritionist will interpret the findings of these tests for you and provide you with tailored recommendations based on your results.
