Fading Memories: Alzheimer's/Dementia Caregiver Support

Feed Your Brain for Cognitive Health


Listen Later

In general, being able to feed your brain is crucial to maintaining your cognitive health. Seemingly, everywhere I turn, every new guest I talk to, the subject turns to food. Specifically, it turns to the topic of healthy food and how it's important for our total health.

In this episode, I talk to Mathew John. He is helping care for his Dad who has mid-stage Alzheimer's. Taking the lemons of an Alzheimer's diagnosis and turning it into lemonade was how Matthew coped. Joining the Alzheimer's Association and being an advocate for education was step one. Step two happened almost by accident.

Traveling to visit Matt, his parents experienced a long, exhausting day. His Dad suffered mentally and physically in ways most of us don't experience. Looking for ways to help him overcome this travel exhaustion, Matt and his Mom did quite a bit of research.

Would it surprise anyone to realize that hydration and proper nutrition were high on the list of ways to help? Good food, water, and sleep. That's what was needed. This research led him to look for ways to easily feed your brain in a healthy and simple way.

Reaching for bars or fast food is how many of us eat on-the-go.  Matts research led him to create RememBars. These are specifically designed to feed your brain, on-the-go, in a healthy way.

This is Your Brain on Nutrition
