Memory Preservation Nutrition® from the Brain Health and Wellness Center®
The unique and exciting Memory Preservation Nutrition® (MPN™) program was developed by Health Care Insights, LLC president Dr. Nancy B. Emerson Lombardo, Ph. D. The MPN™ is based on over 650 scientific articles, and is continually updated and enhanced as more brain-relevant research is completed.
“All elements of Dr. Nancy Emerson Lombardo’s Memory Preservation Nutrition program are heart healthy and brain healthy. Her program is one of four components of lifestyle changes that are currently being researched quite heavily. Initial results are very encouraging and indicate that the right kind of nutrition – rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients – can slow oxidation and other destructive processes that can cause various diseases, including Alzheimer’s. Assisted living facilities that want to be state of the art must look at nutrition. Nancy is the outstanding authority and advocate for Healthy Living – not just assisted living.”

Which “brain foods” are most important for Memory Preservation Nutrition?
The main foods that are indicated through the Memory Preservation Nutrition® program include fresh fruits and vegetables, especially leafy green vegetables, specific spices, whole grains, and foods containing omega-three fatty acids. The Memory Preservation Nutrition® program also focuses on reducing cholesterol and substituting healthy fats (omega 3 and mono-unsaturated fats) for saturated and Trans fats foods.
Another major feature of the program is reducing the amount of refined sugar and high fructose corn syrup in the overall diet.
All of the healthy foods featured by the MPN™ in the right combinations provide the body with important disease-fighting antioxidants, nutrients with anti-inflammatory properties and also help to regulate blood sugar. These changes are all important for brain health.
Dr. Emerson Lombardo says that diet changes that are made through the Memory Preservation Nutrition® program can benefit people of any age whether or not they have memory loss.
She states, “Individuals researching Alzheimer’s disease believe changes and damage in the brain begin well before there are any symptoms of the disease. Following the Memory Preservation Nutrition® program, even if you are not noticing changes to your memory, can be an important step to take to protect your own brain health.
The Memory Preservation Nutrition® program becomes even more important for those already experiencing problems. The Memory Preservation Nutrition® works in part by promoting overall body health.
It is never too late to intervene.
SLR communities’ talented chefs have done an outstanding job of following Memory Preservation Nutrition® guidelines to create their own new delicious recipes and the residents love the food.”
