Healthy Midlife Diet Staves Off Dementia:
'via Blog this'
What you eat at 50 is what you become at 80. Consuming fruits, vegetables, fish, nuts, and coffee are gonna keep your sanity at 80. Dementia/Alzheimers has become the greatest concern for the Baby boomers. They worked so hard to save a nest egg to have it robbed by dementia/Alzheimers.

Salt and Battery: Debate on Sodium Targets Gets Feisty!!
Salt and Battery: Debate on Sodium Targets Gets Feisty!!
The AHA recommends that individuals consume no more than 1500 mg of sodium per day. The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends a daily sodium intake of 2300 mg for the general population and 1500 mg for individuals 51 years of age and older, African Americans, or individuals with hypertension, diabetes, or chronic kidney disease.
In a multivariate-adjusted model, those who consumed less than 3000 mg of sodium per day had a 25% increased risk of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events compared with those who consumed between 4000 mg and 5990 mg/day (reference group).
And finally, in a subgroup analysis, the PURE researchers report that those without hypertension had an increased risk of clinical events at the low end of sodium consumption (<3000 mg/day) but not at the high end (>6000 mg/day). For those with hypertension, there was a heightened risk of death and cardiovascular events at the low and high end of sodium intake.
So Low sodium and high sodium contribute to disease.
Just maybe moderation is the best medicine.
