What foods can one use to treat dementia?

Dear Dr. Grace,
A relative was diagnosed with dementia. She has problems with thinking and memory. Are there foods he can eat to relieve it?

Dear Joseph,
A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are similar to those of the neo-cortex of the heart. Scientists claim that walnuts help in developing over three dozen neuron-transmitters within the brain enhancing the signaling and encouraging new messaging link between the brain cells. Walnuts help warding off dementia. They also extract and break down the protein based plaques associated with Alzheimer's  diseases, according to a study by Dr. James Joseph of Tuft University in Boston.
