Abstract
Dietary requirements that reduce the risk of dementia are sufficient nutrition and a well-balanced diet.
Regarding the three main types of nutrients, for carbohydrates, it is good to consume mainly low-glycemicindex foods that release glucose slowly. These include deep-colored vegetables, fruits, beans, mushrooms and seaweeds. It is also important to reduce the intake of white sugar.
For fats, it is best to consume mainly blue-backed fish, which are high in DHA, linseed oil and perilla oil, which are high in omega-3 fat, and olive oil, which is high in omega-9 fat.
For proteins, it is best to consume mainly eggs and soy beans. It is also good to consume meats and seafoods.
On the contrary, it is better to avoid soft drinks, trans-fatty acids (margarine) and too much protein.
