A recent study published in The Archives of Neurology tracked the dietary habits of 2148 people over the age of 65 for nearly four years and found out that a HIGHER intake of salad dressing, nuts, fish, tomatoes, poultry, cruciferous vegetables, fruits, and dark and green leafy vegetables and a LOWER intake of high fat dairy products, red meat, organ meat, and butter will likely protect against developing Alzheimer’s dementia.
