Beets?

"This super food boosts your brain," Dr. Oz in speaking of beets.



Today's Dr. Oz program featured beets as a super anti-oxidant that can be helpful in addressing some of the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. He suggests baking them at 250 degrees and eating them once a week. Dwane likes beets, so this will be an easy addition to our diet-approach for dementia. As a dementia caregiver, I am always looking for easy-to-implement supports for the health of both of us.

  1. I sure hope you appreciate a little dementia humor especially since it comes from another dementia caregiver and it is said with no ill will.

    Beets?!! Ewwww I would have to be out of my mind to eat them ;-)

    Maybe it sounded better in my own head, I giggled!

  2. Kathy, you made me giggle too. I share your dislike of beets -- one of the very few foods I avoid. But I am going to try baking some for Dwane. Seems those of us who dislike beets could get the same benefit from other darkly colored vegetables, or a glass of red wine :). Have a wonderful day, Kathy!
