Did you Know that Up to 80 percent of cases of dementia could be prevented just by taking a simple supplement?

Taking B vitamins can mop up excess levels of homocysteine, an amino acid that can attack the arteries, says Food for the Brain, a charity that helps people maintain cognitive function into old age.

Taking omega-3 fats from seafood and supplements along with B vitamins to lower homocysteine levels are essential for brain health, and could eliminate up to 80 percent of dementia cases. It has shown to reduce brain shrinkage by an average of 73 percent of those at risk.

It’s also important to restrict sugars and ultra-processed foods.  Diabetes doubles dementia risk and accelerates brain shrinkage.
