Essential Guide to Avoiding Dementia

Are you at high risk of dementia? Do you worry that you could become a sufferer? You do not simply have to hope for the best - while we do not have a cure or a definitive cause we do have a large amount of research data which gives strong pointers as to how we can change diet and lifestyle to reduce the risk. At the moment this is often ignored because it does not tally with current advice about what is a healthy lifestyle. We also have a great deal of empirical evidence on causes and connections which is not disseminated to the public because it has not passed the double blind trial test. This ground-breaking book looks at the wealth of research papers and brings to the fore the evidence we do have for the causes of dementia. It also sets out the weight of empirical evidence so that the reader can at least judge for him or herself what might turn out to be true. For those already afflicted there is sensible, not false, hope that something can at least be done to slow down or mitigate the consequences.
