Nutrition Newsletter Content: Nutrition Guide for Alzheimer’s Prevention

Picture yourself parking your car at the grocery store. You go in, finish your usual shopping routine, pay for your groceries, and exit the store. Once you walk out with all these bags of groceries, you realize you’ve forgotten where you parked your car! This type of situation can be laughable, and, honestly, it happens to the best of us. Forgetfulness may even become more common as we age. Unfortunately, once this type of amnesia turns into forgetting how you even got to the grocery store, our brains may have already begun an evident cognitive decline known as Alzheimer’s disease.

In honor of Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, this issue is dedicated to nutrition and lifestyle interventions to fight Alzheimer’s disease.
