What if the foods you’re consuming every day are quietly increasing your risk of Alzheimer’s and dementia? It’s a reality many of us face, and it all starts with what we eat. From the standard American diet (SAD) to highly processed foods and inflammatory ingredients, your daily diet may be doing more harm to your brain than you think.The rise in dementia and Alzheimer’s is no coincidence. Studies show a clear link between processed foods—loaded with sugars, unhealthy fats, and additives—and cognitive decline. These foods create chronic inflammation, which affects brain function and can lead to long-term damage. In contrast, anti-inflammatory and organic foods help protect your brain and lower your risk of Alzheimer’s.Genetically modified foods (GMOs) and foods packed with preservatives can also wreak havoc on your cognitive health. They may be convenient, but they come at a cost. Learn how avoiding these products and opting for organic, whole foods rich in omega-3s and antioxidants can be a game-changer in preventing dementia.Join us as we explore how making simple, intentional changes to your diet today can help protect your brain for the future.Anne Fraser faced immense challenges as the primary caregiver for both of her parents.
