How to Raise or Lower Your Dementia Risk Through Diet
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
- A high-fat, moderate-protein, low net-carb ketogenic diet is crucial for preventing degeneration that can lead to Alzheimer’s. High-carb diets have been shown to increase your risk of dementia by 89% while high-fat diets lower it by 44%
