My memory has gotten significantly worse over the last year. I can attribute some of that to stress, but my mother died of Alzheimer’s, so I’ve started taking several supplements that are supposed to help protect from it. I think I’ll start consuming some olive oil each day.

If you don't mind sharing, can you tell us what supplements you are taking for that?

I hope and pray that it’s not Alzheimers.
I use a lot of extra virgin olive oil daily, pour it on frying pan to cook chicken thighs. I am not sure that it keeps its great qualities if its heated too much. Also use it on potatoes with garlic granules sprinkled on top. I don’t even own a salt shaker, salt is bad for the heart.

Now that I’m 90, guess it wouldn’t hurt to introduce olive oil to my diet, as a supplement...

Of course my wife cooks with olive oil plus uses it on her salads...

We pay a small fortune for the imported oil she uses, so maybe I can sneak some of it into a protein shake...

All the best to you. Someone can prove me wrong about this, there are no bad olive oils unless they are rancid. Half and half blends- half olive oil and half some other oil. And the expensive ones. Can’t afford those. Any that are
“first cold pressed” are good. I’m going to start taking it every day, as well.

I think you may be a little late with the olive oil. I’ve been consuming olive oil over 70 years. My mother used to pressure cook most of the veggies then slather them with olive oil. Olive oil Vinegar and lemon makes the most delightful dressing on salad. While I all use olive oil , I think whether you carry the APOE3 gene is more likely associated with dementia.
