You need this even if your doctor doesn't do anything about it.
Your chances of getting dementia.
1. A documented 33% dementia chance post-stroke from an Australian study? May 2012.
2. Then this study came out and seems to have a range from 17-66%. December 2013.
3. A 20% chance in this research. July 2013.
4. Dementia Risk Doubled in Patients Following Stroke September 2018
5. Parkinson’s Disease May Have Link to Stroke March 2017
Remember you can't do this until your doctor prescribes it.
The main dietary sources of flavonoids include tea, citrus fruit, citrus fruit juices, berries, red wine, apples, and legumes. Individual flavonoid intakes may vary considerably depending on whether tea, red wine, soy products, or fruit and vegetables are commonly consumed.
I would cheekily ask my doctor how much red wine needs to be consumed for these benefits.
Dietary flavonols and risk of Alzheimer dementia
Neurology® — Holland TM, Agarwal P, Wang Y, et al. | April 21, 2020
Among 921 candidates of the Rush Memory and Aging Project (MAP), an
ongoing community-based, prospective cohort, researchers intended to
determine if there is a connection between dietary intake of flavonols
and Alzheimer dementia. Utilizing a validated food frequency
questionnaire, participants completed annual neurologic evaluations and
dietary assessments. According to results,
participants with the highest intake of total flavonols
had higher educational levels and a greater presence in physical and cognitive activities.
No association was found between quercetin and Alzheimer dementia.
Findings suggested that
higher dietary intakes of flavonols can result in lower risk of developing Alzheimer
dementia.
