Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) are a major cause of mortality worldwide with cardiovascular disease accounting for 17% of all deaths in South Africa in 2000 [1], while mental illness has been predicted to be the largest contributor to the burden of disease in Low and Middle Income Countries (LAMIC) by 2050. It is well recognized that both micronutrients and macronutrients in the diet are important for both physical and mental health. However, there is still ongoing debate and research to discover which nutrients are beneficial to adults for delaying or preventing cognitive decline to Alzheimer’s disease or dementia and to NCDs such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, diabetes and cancer. As vascular disease is a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia, dietary factors for both are inter-related [2]. Metabolic syndrome or pre-diabetes is now seen as an accumulation of risk factors for NCDs including hypertension, elevated blood glucose, triglycerides, homocysteine and cholesterol amongst others.
