Description

Dementia is the sixth-leading cause of death in the U.S., and the most common form, Alzheimer’s disease, is on the rise globally. Although some risk factors are beyond a person’s control, certain diets have been shown to reduce risk. So what should we be eating to improve brain health? Is it all about omega-3s, or is there a secret superfood?

On this episode of On Nutrition, neurologist Dr. Bryan Neth unpacks the best diets for brain health and offers tips for caregivers on how to feed loved ones with dementia.
