While growing old (aging), is an inevitable part of life, no one says you can’t do it gracefully. And where is it written that just because you grow older that you have to be inflicted with Alzheimer’s or other form of dementia.
It may be true that eventually our mental sharpness and physical strength begin slowly to betray us, but there are plenty of examples of seniors with sharp minds and very active lives. You should not have to worry about depending on someone else, spending your time confined to a wheel chair or bed or your life ending prematurely due to illness.
If you pay it forward now and invest some energy in making the lifestyle changes suggested in our Dementia Prevention guide, you too can potentially reduce your risk of dementia and increase the overall quality of your life.
