Eating Healthy and Alzheimer's

"My dad is getting worse by the week but is still able to come out with us for lunch or dinner, even though a kids meal is usually too much for him." -Member of myALZteam

On myALZteam, the social network and online support group for family and friends caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's, members talk about a range of personal experiences and struggles. Eating healthy is one of the most discussed subjects.

Here are some conversations about eating healthy:

• Has anyone heard of the 21 day Memory Repair Protocol diet? If so, has anyone tried it?

• We talked about the memory diet with our psychiatrist. This is how it went...

• A member shares how a healthy diet is just one part of a treatment plan.

• Today I realized how important observing the details in the lives of those we care for is...

• Mum has an appointment today with a dietician to help put weight back on.

• Going to the gym always helps me focus on my ALZ, but my new diet has made me cranky!
