Dans cet épisode nous abordons un aspect de la prévention de la maladie d'Alzheimer avec le Dr Maude Wagner, une jeune et brillante chercheuse dont la Fondation Recherche Alzheimer a financé le post-doctorat. Ses travaux récents ont porté sur le régime MIND, un régime alimentaire conçu aux Etats-Unis par le Dr Martha Clare Morris du Rush University Medical Center à Chicago. MIND, qui veut dire esprit en anglais, est ici pour « Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay » qui signifie « Intervention Méditerranéenne-DASH pour ralentir la neurodégénérescence ».  En effet, adopter un régime alimentaire de qualité permettrait de retarder l'apparition des troubles cognitifs et de diminuer le risque de développer la maladie d'Alzheimer.

Summary In today's episode (#14), I'll be providing an in depth overview one of the most powerful factors that underlies healthy body and brain aging—DIET! Indeed, healthy foods provide key nutrients and phytochemicals work to optimize cognitive function, and protect against dementia and Alzheimer's in aging. However, since dietary therapies and specific foods in those diets that are linked to healthy aging is such a huge field of research, I'll be focusing on a particular diet that has become a meaningful food template for the preservation and enhancement of brain health—The MIND Diet. Similarly, other studies have examined the benefits of other diets such as Japanese diet and the DASH diet in the reduction of risk for dementia and Alzheimer's. In today's review of these diets, I'll also be referencing my version of The MIND Diet—The Improved MIND Diet, and of course, what distinguishes The Improved MIND Diet from all the other brain health and brain-saving diets. Now, what is so compelling about the research that underlies why these diets are so effective in many promoting a health body and brain in aging? After all, generations of moms and dads since Hippocrates espoused that “Food is Medicine”, have doggedly sought ways to get children into the habit of eating your vegetables for a healthy body and brain. Yes, we hopefully have all been coached to stick as many vegetables and fruits into out diets to optimize health and prevent common age-related diseases such as such as cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, the general public has little awareness of the marvelous body of evidence that points to a host of phytochemicals in fruits, vegetables and other foods that function as powerful activators of longevity wellness and a well-nourished brain that it takes for us to enjoy that ride. The research on the phytochemicals and particularly polyphenols and carotenoids abundant in those foods has become one of the most intense areas of study with regard to epigenetics, longevity medicine and in the prevention of many age-related diseases. Now a brief description of the MIND Diet In 2015 I ran across a report on the MIND Diet that incorporated two well recognized dietary models in their studies—the Mediterranean diet (MeDi) and the DASH diet, and the remarkable outcome in lowering the risk for Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Martha Clare Morris-a nutritional epidemiologist at the Rush University Medical Center, and colleagues, were the authors of two studies that examined The MIND Diet food template compared to the foods specific to the MeDi and the DASH diet. The MIND Diet (Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay) concept was derived from the research that had demonstrated a protective benefit from both the Mediterranean diet and the DASH diet against dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Thus, two MIND diet studies were initiated to determine if a hybrid MIND dietary pattern could be proven to ward of cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease. What separated the MIND Diet from their Mediterranean and DASH diet models was a modification of the MIND Diet foods that were used in the studies. The MIND diet modifications included an emphasis on leafy greens and berries to “highlight the foods and nutrients shown through the scientific literature to be associated with dementia prevention.” Why leafy greens? The choice of leafy greens was based on previous studies that revealed a lower rate of cognitive decline in study participants that consumed greater amounts of leafy greens over a variety of vegetables. In addition, the study authors remarked that: “Green leafy vegetables are sources of folate, vitamin E, carotenoids and flavonoids—a sub-class of polyphenols—critical nutrients that have been related to lower risk of dementia and cognitive decline.” Main takeaways from The MIND Diet research. The first MIND Diet study showed that it “substantially slows cognitive decline with age.” More importantly, the second study concluded with two major outcomes: First, of the three diets—MeDi, DASH and MIND, The MIND Diet was shown to be the most beneficial for preventing cognitive decline and Alzheimer's. A greater adherence to The MIND Diet resulted in a 53% risk reduction of risk for Alzheimer's which was only slightly better than the MeDi. (12). However, there was also a 54% reduction of risk with a high adherence to the Mediterranean diet. Secondly, a moderate adherence to the Mind Diet also produced a significant risk reduction—35%, for AD, whereas moderate adherence to the Mediterranean and DASH diets did not have statistically significant risk reduction benefits. Lastly, The Improved MIND Diet emphasizes a personalized diet and nutrition analysis, and a tailored diet that best fits a personalized approach to your specific metabolic, genomic, and biochemical individuality.

The MIND diet, an acronym for the Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay, combines the DASH and Mediterranean diets to reduce the risk of dementia and decline in age-related brain health. Martha Clare Morris, nutritional epidemiologist at Rush University, joins me to discuss the design & results of the MIND diet, to share her rich perspective on nutrition and brain health as a well-known researcher in the field, and to reflect on the horizon for nutrition and cognition.

We talk to Dr. Martha Clare Morris, creator of the MIND diet, about how diet may help prevent Alzheimer’s.

Martha Clare Morris is the author of "Diet for the Mind" and the Director of the Rush Institute for Healthy Aging and the MIND Center for Brain Health at Rush University in Chicago. She is the Principal Investigator of multiple studies that investigate dietary risk factors for the development of Alzheimer's disease, cognitive decline, and other common chronic conditions of older people.

This Is Your Brain On Nutrition - Brain Health Discussed On today’s episode I talk with Matthew Peal the founder of the Movement Academy about brain nutrition. The Movement Academy help youth & seniors improve physical and cognitive performance.  Matt works with senior based organizational and executive directors to develop active aging programs that symmetrically prevents injuries and boosts cognitive function. Learn more about brain health and nutrition in this episode. Last weeks episode was on the benefits of exercise so Matt and I focused on nutrition.  Just like with every other chronic disease there are things we should eat to minimize our risk or to slow the progression of symptoms as well as foods we should avoid. One of the most important nutritional guidelines we can use is the MIND diet.  The MIND diet, as the name implies, is designed to promote a healthy mind and lower the risk of Alzheimer's disease. It is a mash-up of the Mediterranean diet and the DASH diet — two diets that have been found to have several health benefits. Diet information MIND stands for Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay. It was developed by a nutritional epidemiologist, Martha Clare Morris, at Rush University Medical Center through a study that was funded by the National Institute on Aging. Her goal was to lower the risk of Alzheimer's disease by promoting a diet consisting of brain-healthy foods. The Mediterranean diet focuses on eating foods that are as natural as possible, while limiting unhealthy fats and red meat. The DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet, as its name suggests, is aimed at helping to ease hypertension. It focuses on helping people to eat foods that can lower their sodium intake and blood pressure. The MIND diet recommends eating 10 foods daily and avoiding five types of foods. The healthy-food group contains: Vegetables Green leafy vegetables in particular Berries, especially blueberries Nuts Beans Wine Whole grains Fish Poultry   Olive The five unhealthy foods are: Fried or fast food Red meats Cheeses Butter and stick margarine Pastries and sweets The rules of the diet are: Get at least three servings of whole grains per day Eat a salad each day Eat one other vegetable every day Drink a glass of wine each day Snack almost every day on nuts Eat beans every other day Consume poultry and berries at least twice a week Consume fish at least once a week Unhealthy foods are allowed, but less than one serving per week, with the exception of butter Less than 1 tablespoon a day of butter is allowed per day Benefits The researchers' main goal in creating the MIND diet was to reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). According the Alzheimer's Foundation of America, it is estimated that about a half-million Americans younger than age 65 have some form of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. The study also found that the longer a person followed the MIND diet, the better protected the individual was from developing Alzheimer's. The results of the study were published in March 2015, in the journal Alzheimer's & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer's Association. Special Bonus for Listeners: As you heard in this episode I changed my eating and lost 100 pounds. I kept off 90 of those pounds for 3.5 year, then I hit 50, had to deal with my dying Father, with my Mother, you know, life.  I’m still down 80 pounds and working on losing another 10-15 but we all know how that goes.  During the episode I mentioned that I learned to bake differently so here’s a secret very few people know about. You can swap butter for silken tofu!  Yes, you read that right, there is a good use for tofu.  I make chocolate chip cookies with half butter and half tofu and my husband loves them.  I’ve made them in the past with all tofu and those are good too, but the half butter ones are better.

We finally have evidence for and Alzheimer's prevention diet and the best foods to eat to prevent alzheimer's.   We apologize for the recording sound quality of this episode.   Our guest this week, Dr Martha Clare Morris is the architect of the MIND Diet and a leader in the field of nutrition and the brain.   Dr Morris' team showed that the MIND Diet, a hybrid diet of the Mediterranean Diet + the DASH Diet.   To summarize the basic component of the MIND diet is:   Foods to Eat:   Green leafy vegetables (eg mixed greens, spinach and salads): At least six servings a week "Other" vegetables: At least one a day (eg squash, broccoli, etc) Berries: Two or more servings a week Nuts: At least five servings a week Beans: At least three servings a week Whole grains: Three or more servings a day Fish: at least once a week Poultry (e.g. chicken or turkey): at least twice a week Olive oil: Use as your main cooking oil. Alcohol or Wine: One shot/glass a day (note: a "glass" is not half a bottle)  Foods to Avoid: Red meat: 3 times per week or less. Butter and margarine: Less than a tablespoon daily Cheese: Less than one serving a week Pastries and sweets: Less than five servings a week. Fried or fast food: Less than one serving a week.    The people with the best MIND Diet scores (in the top 3) developed half of the cognitive decline than the people with the lower scores. 53% reduction in the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.   We discuss a little bit about how difficult nutrition research is to conduct.    Dr Morris discusses how some of the foods/nutrients work to prevent the changes that occur in Alzheimer's.    Dr Morris discusses her current research trial that is being conducted at Harvard and Rush University at Harvard.    We discuss the controversies of gluten sensitivities and other food sensitivities.   We discuss which foods are good and bad for the mind. She notes that transfats and saturated fats increase the risk for Alzheimer's.  High saturated fat may impair the blood brain barrier.  Unsaturated fats seem to correlate more with good brain health and lower levels of Alzheimer's. She points out DHA (an omega 3 fatty acid) as an important fat in particular for neurotransmission.    Fried foods are bad for the brain because they have high amounts of harmful fats as well as leach out the good fats.   It's not clear whether or not coffee is good or bad long-term for the brain. 

The next couple of episodes we are going to do a deeper dive into the role nutrition and best (and worst) foods for Alzheimer's prevention and treatment. Our guest on this show is Dr Annie Fenn, M.D from BrainHealth Kitchen. She is a retired OB/GYN physician, writer and culinary instructor. We discuss the format for Annie's - BrainHealth Kitchen (formerly known as Brainworks Kitchen) a multi-dimensional program designed to prevent and improve brain health and Alzheimer's. The main focus of this program is learning techniques of healthy eating and cooking in a group/community setting. We discuss the virtuous cycle of becoming proactive about health. Whether you start with food or exercise or community, one good thing tends to lead to another. We discuss the scientific evidence for Annie's approach. She has primarily adopted the approach of communities in Blue Zones.This is primarily a plant-based, Mediterranean diet. She points to one study of nearly 2000 people that had 40% reduced chance of developing Alzheimer's. She also mentioned the MIND Diet published by Martha Clare Morris which we will discuss in more detail in future episodes.   We touch on "anti-nutrients" and the controversy of legumes/beans from a Paleo diet perspective. Legumes and beans do seem to be an important part of the Mediterranean. Bottom line, Annie recommends a personalized approach because the long term data is not clear on the health of beans and legumes. Annie (minute 24) discusses a couple of specific tips and tricks on oils and cooking. Olive oil use in general. Avocado oil for cooking at higher heats.   We discuss "Intermittent Fasting" - Annie has her student's: no eating 3 hours before they go to bed. no wine after 9pm to avoid sleep disruption attempting to eat nothing for 15 hours straight (with the exception of black coffee in the morning) - this is the ketosis idea. We discuss the strategic use of caffeine and how that might be helpful for the brain. We briefly discuss Annie's 23 years of experience as an OBGYN and the use of hormone therapy which we will discuss more in future episodes as well.

Mercury and Alzheimer's: Does Eating Fish Increase the Risk? Studies show that eating fish protects the brain.  However, studies also show that mercury increases the risk of dementia.  So does eating fish, even if there is some mercury in it, increase or decrease your risk of Alzheimer's disease?  Be sure to continue reading this article to find out the answer... The Rush University Mercury, Alzheimer's and Fish Study Dr. Martha Clare Morris and colleagues from Rush University have been at the forefront of brain research.  In fact, Rush University is even home to the MIND Diet which is a way of eating that has been scientifically proven to protect the brain from Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. In this study, Dr. Morris wanted to understand what mercury from eating fish does to the brain over time.  They also wanted to see if omega 3 fatty acids from fish, plants, or supplements protected the brain.  To answer this question, she studied the brains of 286 people who had already passed away. These 286 people not only had donated their brains to Rush University but also had provided them with five years worth of food journals.  Armed with this information, Dr. Morris and her team could then connect the dots between Alzheimer's brain changes and mercury from eating fish. The 5 Findings of the Mercury, Fish, and Alzheimer's Study To come to their five conclusions, Dr. Morris and coworkers measured the amount of mercury in these donated brains.  Also, they carefully dissected each of these brains not only looking for the plaques and tangles, commonly seen with Alzheimer's disease, but any other sign of brain damage as well.  Here is what they found: 1. The more fish people reported eating while they were alive, the more mercury researchers saw in their autopsied brains.  No surprise here. 2. Eating fish at least once a week correlated with significantly less Alzheimer's changes to the brain in people with the Alzheimer's gene. This finding isn't always consistent with other studies. For example, some studies show that fish protects everyone's brain whereas other studies show that fish only protects the brains of people without the Alzheimer's gene.  Regardless, there are no credible studies showing that fish is bad for your brain! 3. Plant-based omega 3s, from foods like walnuts, flax or chia seeds, protect you from strokes.  The finding that plant-based omega 3s may prevent strokes is something that has been backed up by other studies. 4. Fish oil supplements offered no protection to the brain.  This Rush University study is just one of many studies now showing that fish oil doesn't help the brain or heart much. 5. Mercury levels in the brain from fish did not correlate with any brain damage.  This finding that moderate levels of mercury from eating fish doesn't cause brain damage had to be the most important, and reassuring, discovery of this study. Practical Tips As blog readers know, I have long been interested in anything that can protect the heart and the brain.  Below are my three practical tips based on the findings of this and other studies. 1. Consider eating fish at least once a week. In my opinion, the scientific data are now robust enough that people should consider eating fish at least once a week.  However, despite the reassuring findings of this Rush University study, mercury should be minimized to the greatest extent possible. Just because mercury levels didn't correlate with brain damage, doesn't mean it isn't causing any harm.  To minimize your mercury risk from eating fish, always look for wild, small, or ocean fish. If wild fish is too expensive for your budget, consider shopping at places like Costco.  Given the high price of wild Alaskan salmon, our family buys all of our fish at Costco. 2. Eat plant-based omega 3s every day. The plant-based omega 3s from foods like walnuts, chia seeds, and flax seeds have taken the back seat to fish-based omega 3s fo...

What can I do? That was the question posed to us by Food Programme listener Angie Roberts who cares for her mother Clara. Clara, like 850 thousand others in the UK, has dementia, and meal times were making her anxious. 9 months on from our last edition on food and dementia, Sheila Dillon hears from people living with dementia to see how food figures in their lives. She catches up with dementia entrepreneur James Ashwell, founder of Unforgettable.org and hears how he has made gadgets to make eating and drinking easier, available on the high street. Sheila also hears again from award winning food writer Paula Wolfert and her biographer and friend Emily Kaiser Thelin, and their work together on a book telling Paula's life story. From documenting Morocco and its cuisine in the 1970s, to the changes Paula has made to her diet to try to ameliorate her disease. Sheila speaks to Professor of nutritional medicine, Margaret Rayman and nutritional epidemiologist Dr Martha Clare Morris, on the latest research into the connections between what we eat and whether or not we develop dementia. Presented by Sheila Dillon Produced by Clare Salisbury This programme is an update of the edition 'Diet & Dementia' from October 2016 which recently won 'Radio Programme of the Year' at the Fortnum & Mason food and drink awards.
