Mediterranean diet associated with lower risk of cognitive impairment - Alzheimer's Research Trust comments on new research published today.
Diet almost certainly plays a part in every person’s Alzheimer’s risk – and diet remains a magnet for research because it could offer a relatively inexpensive way to fight a disease that ruins countless lives. By reducing salt and saturated fat intake and adding oily fish and lots of fruit and vegetables to our shopping baskets, we can help reduce the risk of developing dementia as well as reaping the countless other benefits of living a healthy lifestyle.
700,000 people in the UK have dementia, and by doing scientific research we hope to open up new treatments and offer hope for the future.
