The good news is that you can reduce your risk by 50% by making nutrition and lifestyle changes.

The 8 things you can do NOW to reduce your risk are:-

2️⃣ Eat plenty of brain-friendly healthy fats eg nuts, seeds, oily fish, avocadoes and extra virgin olive oil.

3️⃣ Include a variety of colourful vegetables and fruit at every meal.

4️⃣ Exercise regularly, at least 3 times a week, walking is fine!
