Diets to defy dementia
Council on the Ageing (COTA) Western Australia, in association with Edith Cowan University and Nutrition Australia are running free information sessions which will provide the latest scientific information on nutritional aspects of dementia and encourage and challenge participants to make lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
Diet is an important environmental factor that can contribute to increasing an individual’s risk to developing Alzheimer’s disease.
Diets high in fruit and vegetables that contain many compounds in addition to traditional nutrients, along with the omega-3 essential fatty acids found in fish oils, may improve brain health and vascular function.
