Dementia

I (Jen) just read a scary statistic in an Associated Press article. It stated that the number of individuals living with dementia will triple by 2050.

A contributing factor to the rise are the increased numbers of individuals with obesity and diabetes, which are both risk factors for dementia.

Ways to combat dementia? Make smart dietary choices and keep your mind and body active!

To me this marks yet another reason in a long list of why exercising and eating right are not just a smart idea but actually should be considered imperative!
