You Can Be Sure to Find These Foods for Brain Health at MorningStar Senior Living

Avid nutrition is an essential component of overall health and well-being, especially for those with Alzheimer's. A diet rich in nutrient-dense foods not only improves overall health but also supports cognitive function and works to reduce inflammation in the body. At MorningStar at Littleton, residents in Alzheimer's care have access to a variety of healthy and delicious foods prepared by our executive chefs who understand the importance of brain-healthy nutrition.

We are a senior living community Littleton co can count on to be committed to providing our residents with delicious and nutritious meals that support cognitive function and reduce inflammation. Our community offers a variety of food options and dining amenities to ensure that our residents have a fulfilling and enjoyable dining experience.

Fatty fish like salmon, tuna, and mackerel are some of the best foods for those with Alzheimer's. These types of fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which have been linked to improved brain health and cognitive function. These essential fatty acids play a vital role in building and maintaining brain cell membranes and may even reduce the risk of cognitive decline.

Berries are another essential food group for those with Alzheimer's. Blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries are rich in antioxidants that protect the brain from damage and inflammation. These powerful antioxidants help to remove toxins from the brain, which may reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.

Nuts and seeds like walnuts, almonds, flaxseed, and chia seeds are high in healthy fats, fiber, and antioxidants that support brain health and reduce inflammation. These foods are also a great source of protein and can be added to a variety of meals and snacks for a nutritious boost.

The MorningStar Family

MorningStar Senior Living’s Founder and CEO, Ken Jaeger, first began forming the idea of starting a company from a desire to create senior living that was defined by the human touch. He says his intention was to “re-create my grandmother’s house, a place where one can go and feel a sense of family.” This simple but profound concept has driven the overwhelming success of our MorningStar brand. Now nearly seventeen years later, MorningStar continues to add communities across the Western U.S., including MorningStar Assisted Living & Memory Care of Littleton, in the Greater Denver area. At MorningStar of Littleton, our goal is to create a true home for our residents - one that feels like a family.

The Top Reasons Family Considers Assisted Living

Coming to the realization that your loved one may need support beyond what you can provide comes with difficult decisions to make regarding assisted living . Caregivers of family members and loved ones that have special needs or require extra help often experience their own hardships. Anxiety, depression, negative eating habits, financial strain and poor health are not rare when it comes to caring for an elderly parent or family member. Children of senior parents may feel shame in assessing senior living and assisted care, but these facilities can lessen that guilt and offer a peace of mind that your loved one is healthy, safe, and happy. You know your parent better than anyone and have developed a care routine that allows your parent to be close by or living in similar circumstances of their younger years. Sadly, this may not always be sustainable. Perhaps you have welcomed a new child, taken a new job where you will be around less often, or maybe have decided to move. If you are unab

Do they think assisted living homes are more like nursing homes of the past? We want to reassure you and your senior loved one that assisted living communities such as MorningStar at Mountain Shadows are not nursing homes. In fact, we do not offer skilled nursing services but rather provide assistance with the ADLs (activities of daily living), along with engaging activities and other services intended to improve and enhance quality of life. It is important to a senior’s overall health that they receive proper care as the website Aging.com reports, “Functional status and the ability to care for oneself have a significant impact on a senior's quality of life. Unmet needs for help with activities of daily living can lead to malnutrition, poor personal hygiene, isolation, illnesses like urinary tract infections (UTIs), and falls.” In fact, studies show se
