Dietary supplements keep your brain healthy and are recommended by doctors. Dr. Isaacson, a Harvard-educated neurologist, recommends B Complex Vitamins, Fish Oil supplements, and Vitamin D to maintain brain health.
Fish oil can delay Alzheimer’s disease. Recommended fish oil brands are Carlson Super DHA Germ, Life’s DHA, and Nutri Supreme. Fish oil should be taken with a meal and water.
Folic Acid, Vitamin B6 and B12 can also help prevent or delay Alzheimer’s. The best supplement amounts are 800 mcg of folic acid, 20 mg of B6, and 500 mcg of B12 each day.
To prevent cognitive dementia and cognitive decline, one should take Vitamin D. As one ages, their ability to absorb Vitamin D decreases; therefore they must take supplements to get the proper amount. If one is lacking in Vitamin D, they are more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease.
Eating foods with curcumin, a spice, is effective when added to food to prevent against dementia.
Always read labels, see if the supplements needs to be refrigerated, protect supplements from light, and make sure the container it came in was vacuum sealed. Supplements are not strictly regulated like the medicines are, therefore it is important to do research before taking supplements. Taking supplements can improve brain health, and is important to consider.
