Having lost three family members to Alzheimer’s, I’ve witnessed firsthand the devastating toll this disease takes. While there’s a strong genetic component, I’m not just worried about getting it – I’m taking action.

The good news is that you can take control of your brain health. Dementia often begins in the brain decades before symptoms appear, but a Mediterranean diet and healthy lifestyle can be a powerful shield. While genes play a role, lifestyle choices can make all the difference. You can fine-tune your lifestyle to protect your brain health – and the most powerful strategy for dementia is prevention, starting now.
