When it comes to the risk of developing dementia, family history is a factor, but it is far from the only factor. It is well known that physical activity, social isolation, smoking, alcohol, medical conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or being hard of hearing, all impact the risk of developing dementia down the road.
In this episode, I explore the relationship between what you eat and brain health with Dr. Annie Fenn, the author of The Brain Health KITCHEN, Preventing Alzheimer’s through Food.
- WHY food impacts the brain
- What foods should be avoided
- What foods are neuroprotective
