In reply to the discussion: Dementia Is Everywhere. [View all]Iwasthere
(3,512 posts)33. IT IS DIET AND ENVIRONMENT. AND PLASTICS.
Low quality, processed junk foods.Eat only high quality grass fed meats and organic vegetables free of chemicals (if they have to wear hasmat suits to spray crops then you should avoid).
Stay 100% away from nasty chemicals of all kinds. Replace your chemical laden lawn with vegetable gardens. Hygiene products are another threat to our brains (aluminum).
It's not rocket science. Common sense.
Live like your great grandparents did with whole clean foods and environment.
