One dementia expert has revealed there are certain things you may want to consider cutting down from your diet.
Hundreds of thousands of people in the UK are living with dementia, a degenerative condition that causes nerve cells in the brain to stop working as they should.
Patrick Holford is a nutritionist and founder of Food For the Brain Foundation charity, where he directs their Alzheimer’s prevention project. He said: "The three most important changes to what you eat, that probably reduce a person’s future risk for dementia by at least a third, are cutting right back on sugar and processed foods, eating fish and especially oily fish rich in omega-3 fats and eating more vegetables, fruits, herbs and spices, rich in antioxidants and polyphenols."
And over time, these can cause damage to the brain - potentially leading to Alzheimer's further down the line.
