* [[vitamin D]] removes toxins from the brain and helps break down a substance called amyloid-beta, which is a protein that plays a major role in the development of Alzheimer's disease.
*[[Omega-3 fatty acids]] support synaptic plasticity and seem to positively affect the expression of several molecules related to learning and memory that are found on synapses. Excellent food sources include beans, olive oil, walnuts, winter squash, and fish. Fish and flaxseed oil supplements are also good sources of Omega-3's.
* [[Curcumin]] (the major component of [[Turmeric]]) prevents and slows down the progression of Alzheimer's Disease by eliminating amyloyd plaque buildup in the brain. A class of compounds found within turmeric known as curcuminoids enhance the amyloid-beta uptake of macrophages within Alzheimer’s disease patients. Amyloid-beta (Abeta) plaque is found in unnaturally elevated levels in neurodegenerative disorders such as AD, and is believed to contribute to the underlying disease process.
* A combination of [[Vitamin D]]3 and curcumin offers new treatment possibilities for Alzheimer's Disease.
* [[Niacin]] (Vitamin B3) may protect against Alzheimer's Disease.
* [[Bacopa]] boosts memory, speeds up thinking, reduces stress, and even slows down brain aging! It is used to treat and prevent Epilepsy and Alzheimer's Disease.
* [[coconut]] and palm kernel oils naturally contained MCTs (Medium Chain Triglycerides). Metabolizing MCTs creates ketones. Recent research has shown that ketones help protect against Alzheimer`s Disease, [[Parkinson's Disease (PD)]], LS (Lou Gehrig's disease), Huntington's disease, Drug resistant epilepsy, [[Diabetes]]
*polyphenols : Berries, cherries, walnuts and seedsGreen are sources of polyfenols.
* The flavonoid fisetin in [[strawberries]] helps protect the leaves and fruit from insects. In the human body, it has been shown to protect neurons and combat Alzheimer's Disease. It is also considered to be a weapon against [[Prostate Cancer]]. And now researchers have discovered it can fight [[diabetes]].
* Increase Your Acetylcholine Levels. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter essential to storing and recalling memories. A deficit of acetylcholine has been associated with increased risk of Alzheimer's disease. Among foods high in lecithin are egg yolks, whole wheat, soybeans, wheat germ and organ meats. Vegetables like Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and tomatoes contain high levels of choline, as do black beans, kidney beans, peanuts and peanut butter. Grains like oats, corn and barley are good sources of choline. Among fruits, bananas and oranges are rich in the substance. Butter, potatoes, sesame seeds and flax seeds are also good sources of choline. Ginseng root, also known as American ginseng, is an additional source of choline.
*[[Omega-3 fatty acids]] support synaptic plasticity and seem to positively affect the expression of several molecules related to learning and memory that are found on synapses. Excellent food sources include beans, olive oil, walnuts, winter squash, and fish. Fish and flaxseed oil supplements are also good sources of Omega-3's.
* Grape and grape extract compounds help protect against Alzheimer`s disease development.
* Alpha Glycerylphosphorylcholine (GPC) is a memory booster.
*A moss extract, Huperzine A, is showing promise as a natural supplement which aids in preventing further memory loss. In a study of patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease, Huperzine A proved to be as effective as one of the most popular prescription medications.
* Eating an apple a day protects the brain from oxidative damage that causes neurodegenerative diseases such Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. This magical nutrient that acts as protection is quercetin, which is a phytonutrient.
* [[Bacopa]] is used to treat and prevent Epilepsy and Alzheimer's Disease.
* [[Lion's Mane Mushroom]] stimulates activity of the synthesis of nerve growth factor (NGF), prevents and ameliorates senile dementia.
* Caprylic Acid for Alzheimer's : According to an article in Alzheimer's Weekly, [[coconut]] oil contains active ingredients that can provide the brain with the ketones needed to improve function in Alzheimer's patients. (see also : [[Caprylic acid]]).
