The Dukan diet was designed by Dr. Pierre Dukan, a nutritionist and eating behavior specialist having 35 years of experience in clinical nutrition. The Dukan diet is very similar to the system of HyperProtein.
The diet included low amounts of high-fat dairy products, red meat, organ meat, and butter. Foods in this diet that appeared to fight Alzheimer's disease were salad dressing, nuts, fish, poultry, tomatoes, fruits, and cruciferous and dark and green vegetables. Researchers say the combination of nutrients and foods in this particular dietary pattern may fight Alzheimer's in a variety of ways.
While research is not yet conclusive, certain lifestyle choices, such as physical activity and diet, may help support brain health and prevent Alzheimer's. Many of these lifestyle changes have been shown to lower the risk of other diseases, like heart disease and diabetes, which have been linked to Alzheimer's.
