A low-salt diet can reduce your risk of hypertension. A low-carb diet can reduce your risk of diabetes. But is there a diet out there, which can lower your risk of neurologic disease? Specifically, dementia? The answer is...maybe? This week on the program we work our way up the food chain describing the vital micronutrients, food groups, and fad diets out there that may promote brain health--and could even lower your risk of dementia. Sit back, grab some blueberries, and enjoy!
