Why This Recipe Supports Alzheimer’s 1. Eggs (2 organic eggs or 1/2 cup egg whites) Rich in choline, a precursor to acetylcholine—critical for memory and cognitive function. Provide vitamin B12, often low in older adults and linked to cognitive decline. Also contain vitamin D, selenium, and omega-3s (if pastured), which support neuroprotection and reduce brain inflammation. 2. Zucchini (1/2 cup grated) High in antioxidants like vitamin C and carotenoids (lutein, zeaxanthin), which may help protect brain cells from oxidative stress. Hydrating and low-calorie, supporting healthy metabolism and vascular function. 3. Olive or Avocado Oil (1 tsp) Rich in monounsaturated fats, which support cerebral blood flow and are a core part of brain-supportive diets like the MIND or Mediterranean diets. Avocado oil also provides vitamin E, linked to slower cognitive decline. 4. Turmeric (1/4 tsp) + Black Pepper (pinch) Curcumin (from turmeric) crosses the blood-brain barrier and may reduce amyloid plaque buildup and neuroinflammation. Black pepper boosts curcumin absorption by over 1,000%. 5. Leafy Greens (1/4 cup spinach or kale, optional) Rich in folate, vitamin K, and lutein, all associated with slower brain aging and better cognitive performance. Also supply magnesium, which supports nerve signaling and synaptic plasticity. 6. Sea Salt (pinch) Adds trace minerals that can support electrolyte balance, important for overall brain and nerve function.
