Eating green leafy vegetables like spinach, kale and lettuce, as well as fish, may have a positive effect. Green leafy veggies may help the brain function because they are high in antioxidants. These fruits and vegetables can reduce brain cell damage.

Turmeric may also have brain-protective effects.
Refined sugars are high in calories and lack fiber, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients.
Reduce the amount of salt in your diet and limit foods high in sodium. This will help to maintain normal blood pressure and improve blood supply to brain cells.
Drink more fluids to stay hydrated.

Exercise and physical activity

Exercise and physical activity can also improve brain function, by increasing blood flow to brain cells. Exercise helps improve the supply of nutrients to brain cells, reducing the risk of cell degeneration. Mild activities like walking have a calming impact on brain cells.

Brain exercise

According to research, mental exercises like puzzles can help slow down the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. Playing board games and reading books can help slow down memory loss.

Adequate Sleep

The normal functioning of the brain is dependent on adequate sleep. Sleeping for 8-10 hours is recommended for older people to improve their brain function. This helps them to function normally and perform their daily activities.

Meditation is considered to be one of the best ways to improve brain function. Meditation calms down the brain and improves its cognitive function. Meditation also improves your concentration.

Alzheimer’s is not curable. Alternate treatments and lifestyle changes may help to delay the onset of symptoms. Researchers are researching alternative treatments for Alzheimer’s and are looking at natural remedies. This gives us hope.
