Summary
Today we’re going to be reviewing early signs to detect dementia as well as food and lifestyle that can potentially prevent dementia.
The estimated total societal cost of dementia in 2019 in the US was $1313 billion and with the number of people suffering dementia set to increase by 300% globally over the next 20 years, this is something we need to address as early as possible.
We have many examples of “successful cognitive agers” who have lived vibrant lives well into their 80s and 90s – and there is a clear influence with lifestyle habits.
The key questions we’re going to review are …
- What are some of the early warning signs of dementia and Alzheimer's?
- What are some of the foods I should avoid to help prevent dementia & brain decline?
- What are some of your favourite brain-boosting foods I should add to my diet every week?
- What are some of the common lifestyle habits that can improve my brain?
- Are there supplements you recommend taking to help boost brain health & prevent decline?
I’ll also talk through a day in the life of a successful brain healthy day utilising all of these habits we’ve discussed at the end of the podcast
