Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease are serious medical conditions that are extremely common. What’s worse is that in the coming decades, the number of cases is going to skyrocket. There are roughly 35.6 million people living with dementia now, and that number is expected to double every 20 years. Researchers and doctors know this, so plenty of money and resources are being put towards preventative and treatment methods.
But most of the work is going towards pharmaceutical and hospital treatments, even though there is plenty of evidence to show lifestyle can play a major role in a person’s risk for acquiring Alzheimer’s and dementia.
