ABSTRACT
Dementia is a loss of mental ability (ability to think, remember and
make logical conclusions) which, in principle affects normal everyday life of a
person. Dementia is not a
disease but a group of symptoms that may cause different diseases. Symptoms include change of
behaviour, character and unexpected changes in the mood. Poor quality of
nutrition affects significantly the intensity of dementia. Balanced diet that
meets healthy safety standards and requirements will satisfy the needs of an
organism for vitamins and minerals and special attention should be given to
intake of folic acid, vitamin B12 and minerals zinc and selenium. Intake of
omega3 fatty acids is a source of fuel for blood vessels, particularly for the
ones of the nervous tissues.
