Some points to consider from Dr. Fortanasce to help begin the prevention of Alzheimer's:
* Eat more fruits and vegetables
* Eat berries daily
* Eat fish high in omega-3 fatty acids
* Take a folic acid supplement or eat foods high in folate: green leafy vegetables, asparagus, oranges, eggs, legumes, fortified cereal
* Drink a glass of red wine or purple grape juice with your evening meal
* Follow a Mediterranean-style diet
* Control your blood pressure
* Have strong social support

Much of the above is inconsistent with low-carb eating. I'm trying to sort throught this now. Difficult to reconcile low-carb eating with an anti-Alzheimer diet. Numerous studies indeed associate lower incidence of dementia with the Mediterranean diet.
