As we age, it’s hard not to start worrying about our health, and about how long we can stay ‘mentally there’ for our loved ones. It’s natural to want to stay alert, sharp and aware of the people we love and of our surroundings, so we can get the most out of our remaining years.   But maybe Alzheimer’s disease runs in your family, and you’re afraid this can happen to you too. So you’re wondering, “How can I prevent this, and how can I keep my mind going strong?”   Let’s look at that today. In this episode, we’ll see if eating a plant-based diet might help older individuals with cognitive decline such as Alzheimer’s disease. We’ll also examine other lifestyle changes that may help slow down the progression of cognitive impairment or dementia. So grab that hot mug of tea and let’s dive in!
