Dementia has become the most feared health problem for many people, surpassing Cancer in its impact. However, there is reason to be optimistic about the future. Advances in scientific research suggest that it may be possible to control the problems we dread, such as dementia, disability and dependency. By taking steps to protect our brains from damage caused by stress, sleep problems and inactivity, we can substantially reduce our risk of developing dementia.

It offers simple but effective lifestyle changes that anyone can make to increase their brainability and improve their overall well-being. It is never too late to take positive action and make a change in your life. This book will provide you with the tools and knowledge to reduce your risk of dementia and live better for longer.
