Main description:

Do you worry that you might have a high risk of getting dementia? Are you already affected? This ground-breaking book brings together information from a wealth of research papers and other sources that gives strong pointers about how changes in diet and lifestyle might reduce the risk or mitigate the consequences of dementia. Currently there is no cure or known cause for dementia, but the book reviews the empirical evidence on causes and connections - much of which is not usually disseminated to the public - so that readers can judge for themselves what might turn out to be true.
