The rate of dementia in the US is expected to double by 2050, and is believed to be linked to poor diet (process foods, bad fats, additives and pesticides). Choline, which is related to B vitamins, is an important factor linked to reducing the risk of dementia.

Choline is a precursor of the important neurotransmitter acetylcholine, a chemical used in the transmission of brain impulses between nerves, muscles and organs. In this role it is involved directly with cognition, long and short term memory, stimulus response, and mental energy.

In fact, doctors now prescribe Cholinesterase Inhibitors for dementia patents to combat the body's breakdown of choline, thereby improving brain function.

"Cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs), also known as anti-cholinesterase are chemicals that prevent the breakdown of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine or butyrylcholine. This increases the amount of the acetylcholine or butyrylcholine in the synaptic cleft that can bind to muscarinic receptors, nicotinic receptors and others."

.

Best food sources of Choline:

  • Whole Eggs
  • Organ Meat
  • Caviar
  • Wild Caught Fish (esp. Salmon, Tuna and Cod)
  • Shittake Mushrooms
  • Soybeans
  • Beef (preferably grass fed organic)
  • Chicken and Turkey (preferably organic)
  • Cruciferous Vegetables (such as Broccoli, Cauliflower, Brussel Sprouts)
  • Almonds
  • Lima Beans
  • Red Potatoes
  • Kidney Beans
  • Quinoa

Family History of Dementia

If you have a history of dementia in your family, I would consider the following supplements in addition to a healthy diet:

  • Choline capsules
  • Selenium
  • Turmeric (which halts the creation of Lewy Bodies, one of the worst forms of dementia)

You should also consider genetic testing that can identify your risk factors for dementia, including Alzheimers, Parkinsons, and Lewy Body. This way you can begin treatments (usually special supplements, which may include high-potency B1, methyl-folate and methyl-B-12 ) long before any symptoms occur.

Functional Medicine

This is a new approach to medicine, where the doctor focuses on diagnosing the root cause of illness rather than treating symptoms, which is how traditional medicine works. Functional medicine doctors perform genetic testing and prescribe dietary changes and supplements along with traditional medicine to treat your condition. In my opinion this is the best means to combat difficult diseases such as dementia where there are no cures yet available and many pharmaceutical companies have abandoned drug development.

I'm glad to hear curried beef is so healthy. During the first trimester of my last pregnancy I was living off that, yogurt, and the occasional chicken sandwich. I'll have to try your recipe with the peas and potatoes, that looks awesome. Thanks for sharing it.
