Dementia breakthrough: The dietary pattern that may slash your risk by a whopping 50%

Plant-based foods have been found to be beneficial to the brain and may help prevent Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.

“Research shows that saturated and trans fats found in dairy products, meats, pastries, and fried foods can increase the risk for cognitive decline,” says the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM).

Instead, PCRM advises, you should eat a plant-based diet, which helps protect brain health.

“Berries and foods rich in vitamin E, including nuts, seeds, leafy greens, and whole grains are especially beneficial,” the health body adds.
