Eating a balanced diet

Eating a healthy diet is important for general well-being, but it can also significantly reduce the risk of dementia later in life. 

• Leafy greens 
• Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, cherries
• Dark chocolate 
• Fish 
• Nuts and seeds
• Mediterranean diet (focuses on fish, fruits, vegetables and nuts)
• The antioxidants in fruits and vegetables may reduce symptoms of dementia, while omega-3 fatty acids in fish support brain health. Vitamins and minerals found in nuts, seeds and dark leafy greens are linked to brain health.
