Increase Your Brainability: Reduce the Risk and Impact of Dementia (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781904202257)

"For many years, people thought that dementia was an inevitable part of being old, or if not ordained, was something which you could do nothing about. This means that taking the advice present in this readable book means that you are likely to have more years of a healthy life." Gill Livingston

We often hear news about new drugs for Alzheimer's, and while a breakthrough would be wonderful, Alzheimer's is only one type of dementia. Scientists have found that about 40% of dementia cases could be prevented by making changes in our daily lives.

Dementia isn't just Alzheimer's-and it's not a normal part of getting older.

The groundbreaking Lancet Commission on Dementia has shown dementia risk can be reduced through lifestyle changes, prevention of vascular disease having the same risk factors as heart disease and stroke, and political action.

This book translates complex research into clear, practical advice for everyday life. It explores how your environment, habits, and healthcare system can support brain health-and how ageing itself doesn't mean cognitive decline. In fact, our ability to make complex decisions often improves with age.

If you or someone you care about is living with dementia, there's hope. The same steps that help prevent it can also slow it down after it starts. The same strategies that help prevent dementia can also slow its progression after diagnosis.

You have the power to take action-and it's never too early or too late to start. You can take control. You can make a difference. And you're not alone.
