Description

This event is about the best way to prevent cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's, the most common form of dementia The bad news is that Alzheimer's is in the making for decades. Lack of sleep, severe stress, bad nutrition, and lack of physical exercise, in addition to one's genetics, lead gradually to brain shrinking and later to decline in thinking, followed by a decline in behavioral and social skills. The good news is that eating a plant-based diet and maintaining a healthy lifestyle help protect brain health. Research shows that berries and foods rich in vitamin E, including nuts, seeds, leafy greens, and whole grains are especially beneficial.
