No, you read the title correctly it does say Type 3 Diabetes, the term, along with 'brain diabetes' now being used to describe Alzheimer's disease due to both conditions involving insulin resistance and deficiency.
Eating for brain health is not a new concept, with marketing campaigns often focusing on eating oily fish, rich in Omega-3-fatty-acids which are good for the brain. But there's a new super-food to look out for. Berries.Recent research published in the European Journal of Nutrition found eating one cup of fresh blueberries (or their dried equivalent, given as 24 grams of freeze-dried blueberry powder), showed positive changes in cognitive function in older adults over a placebo. This, in conjunction with findings from a randomized control trial of the MIND (Mediterranean-DASH intervention for neurodegenerative delay) diet which found nutrient-rich foods such as green leafy vegetables, nuts and berries helpful in the prevention of Alzheimer's, means that diet is showing signs of promise as a preventative medicine in treating those with mind-diseases.At Kafoodle we believe strongly that the future of health is in the food we eat, which is why we have been working hard to develop Kafoodle Meal Planning, our award-winning, government-funded digital meal-planning software for the health and social care sector.
