Welcome back to another episode of the talk. Today we are diving in even deeper with Dr.

Umanidu about foods that are good for your brain. And we have some questions from our listeners.

So this first question is from Missy Faith. And she asks, what does the research say about eating foods to promote memory?

Are there any foods that promote better memory?

So some of the foods that I write about in my first book, where I write a chapter on

cognitive disorders and memory, the foods that I list there include things like blueberries,

olive oil, turmeric, the active ingredient in turmeric is curcumin,

always paired. I say have a quarter teaspoon of turmeric with a pinch of black pepper,

added to super smoothie or tea. Those are three good ones to get started with. So they have a

good amount of evidence behind them. And is there any research about people who might have more serious memory issues

like with dementia or Alzheimer's?

Is there any research about improving their diet helps them to lower their symptoms?

I'll tell you that what I know and what I've seen clinically

and collaborated with my colleagues on is that whatever stage you're at, working against

neuroinflammation in your brain by starting to change to those healthier eating habits

will fend off any potential that you say you have a family history or many of us walk around.

You've heard about the expression of many of us walk around with nascent inactive cancer cells.

But lifestyle and other factors can cause that change.

Similarly, in the brain, you can have sort of brewing neuroinflammation, but how you eat

and your lifestyle changes, things like exercise that, you know, Eddie

talks about all the time. These are very powerful factors that fend off the early neuroinflammation.

We don't yet, and we're not at a point where we can reverse Alzheimer's through food.
