so today we're talking about memory and did you know that research shows that as you get older the odds of things starting to slip from your mind goes way up according to some estimates as many as 40 percent of adults over the age of 65 will have some form of memory impairment now some will progress all the way up to dementia or alzheimer's but for most of us the frustrations really do start and stop with remembering where we left our keys or somebody's name, either way, it is irritating and downright frustrating.
so the question is what can be done to stop all of this can you get that memory back possibly and a lot of that has to do with what it is that you are eating dr neil barnard is here with us today he is the author of your body imbalance and he will be sharing the foods that you should be eating right now that can help sharpen your memory and of course you're also going to learn the foods that you're going to want to remember not to eat because they may in fact make your memory worse and if there's something that you would like to ask dr barnard go ahead and post your question right now in the comment or in the chat we're going to be opening up the doctor's mailbag and getting to as many of your questions as we possibly can here on the show today you can also send them on social twitter or instagram i'm at chuck carroll wlc so let's talk memory right now and welcome in dr neal barnard good to see you again good to see you chuck would you agree with that 40 estimate.

i got that from a professor who released some research at ucla and 40 to me seems to be about right once you reach that certain age well yes and it's not uh the same percentage with each age so mid 60s a little bit lower but once you get to mid 70s and especially mid 80s and beyond it gets higher so yeah it's definitely something where we want to take action and how closely connected is diet and cognitive impairment or cognitive function do they really go hand in hand very strongly connected now back i couldn't have made that statement back in say 1980 because we were sort of speculating if you're old or if you got bad genes that's what's going to bring on the dementia but we now know that foods play a huge role and the reason we know that is studies like the chicago health and aging project which got started back in the 90s and researchers in chicago brought in a whole group of people they tracked what they ate for breakfast lunch dinner and then they tracked who stayed mentally clear as the years went by and who didn't and certain patterns emerge there are definitely foods that seem to accelerate dementia and there's there are others that are protective let's start with the good then uh lee's question which foods can help to improve memory.
