About the Book

Every day around the world, people living with Alzheimer's disease and dementia suffer adverse consequences due to inadequate feeding regimens. Try as they may, many caregivers at home and in healthcare facilities simply do not have the necessary resources to serve individually-specific meals within calming, unhurried environments. They neither have the time needed nor expertise to deal with the multitude of illusion-driven emotions that this disease often plays on appetites. Are you a caregiver of an otherwise healthy person who is being nutritionally challenged due to confusion caused by a neurodegenerative disease? Derek Grant leaves no stone or stimuli unturned in detailing the best possible methods for feeding sufferers of dementia-related cognitive impairment in the most emotionally calming, time independent of ways.When the mind is troubled, food is rarely a priority, but when the mind is calm, food becomes much more palatable. This holds true for a cranky child, a troubled teen, an adult in a mid-life crisis, or for an elderly dementia patient. The approach is all the same. Unfortunately, for the latter demographic, even small amounts of missed daily nutrients can quickly add up and increase the risk of falling and other untimely events. In this book, you will quickly learn how to soothe the emotions with sensory preparation, promote a more stimulating lifestyle, and strengthen the limbic system through exercise and nutrition. Once the mind's table is set - then - foods can be presented in the most simplified of ways. This writing was inspired by a first-hand experience in caregiving to a family member. At 95 years of age, she had stopped eating entirely, and slipped down to the 80-pound mark on the weight scales. Medical professionals diagnosed her to be in the final stage of dementia, and in a "nothing left that we can do for her" situation. Not so fast!Emaciated, irritated, and very confused. Far too confused to think about eating. Something had to be done and done soon!Calm the mind and emotions first, and then pitch the food. That seemed like as good a plan as any:

  • Music-evoked Autobiographical Memories
  • Guided Imagery by Digital Frame
  • Box Breathing / Limbic Breathing
  • Nursery Rhyme Mantras
  • The Psychology of Color and Light
  • Dance, Laugh, Sing, Mime, Improvise
  • 24/7 Compartmentalized Food Offerings Fast forward 16 months and she has gained 20 pounds, resumed operating a personal computer, singing favorite songs, solving math problems, feeding herself on occasion, and even correcting healthcare staff on their grammar. Doctors, lawyers, healthcare professionals or anyone privy to someone suffering from these eating challenges will benefit from this reading. Learn how to calm the mind, maximize mental acuity, and choose the best foods possible to thwart the progression of the disease. This is neither snake oil nor rocket science. It's just common sense and sensory practices that can be used with a little effort, ingenuity, and time invested. If eating at the Alzheimer's Café improved the health and wellness of a written off, 95-year-old diner - then it has a better-than-average chance of working for all!
