Looking for a recipe for the weekend? Dr Jonathan Rasouli, neurosurgeon at Staten Island University Hospital (United States) suggests that you prepare a simple dish, with only 3 ingredients, but with all the nutrients necessary for the proper functioning of the brain.

It’s delicious and I never get tired of it” he explained in Parade magazine. If the link between diet and Alzheimer’s disease is, for the moment, still in the state of research, the neurosurgeon is convinced that certain foods can help prevent the disease.

“If we can potentially reduce our risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease by eating certain foods, why not do it? It seems like a risk worth taking,” he insists. His favorite dinner? Grilled salmon with turmeric seasoning and a side of steamed broccoli.

A recent study from the University of Texas showed that consuming foods rich in Omega-3 (such as salmon) helped preserve brain health and reduced markers of brain aging. As for turmeric, and more specifically its active ingredient, curcumin, it is known to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, both linked to cognitive decline.

Add in that a growing body of research has shown that vegetables like broccoli reduce the risk of dementia, and it’s easy to see why homemade “grilled salmon with turmeric and broccoli skillet” has become Dr. Rasouli! “It’s super easy to make and doesn’t require too many ingredients.”
