Abstract: Dementia is a progressive disease that causes loss of mental abilities, which results in a change of personality, memory and loss of social skills. It is caused by conditions that damage the mind, memory, reasoning and speech. Dementia has become increasingly common, and can be detected as early as middle age although it is more common in old age. A positive link between diet and the development of mental disorders is reflected in a strong correlation between the intake of refined sugars and decrease bet awareness of patients with schizophrenia and the development of depression. Mental changes during aging and gradual separation from active social life are usually emotionally reflect the first stage of aging escape into the food, and in the second phase, after 75 years of lethargy, when the food loses its appeal. Dementia is one of the most important contemporary public health problems. Prolonged nutritional deficiency in the diet is associated with depressed mood, anxiety and cognitive deterioration.
