Research shows that half of dementia risk is preventable and that there are modifiable risk factors that make a difference. In fact even if you have the genetic profile that increases your risk, it is not inevitable - a message that is not widely understood.

A new charity Food For The Brain Foundation has published a manifesto which covers the 8 key diet and lifestyle factors and how to implement them to reduce your risk:

1.Active Body 2.Active Mind 3.Sleep & Calm 4.Healthy Gut 5.Brain Fats 6.B Vitamins 7. Low GL Diet 8. Anti-oxidants

My talk explains why dementia and Alzheimer's is preventable and discusses each of these factors in greater depth. 8. Anti-oxidants

About Helen Ritchie

I am a Clinical Nutritionist passionate about supporting women in managing their menopause through natural nutrition and lifestyle changes. The menopause transition is much more complex than a simple hormone deficiency often portrayed in the media.

I run a private clinic working with women and men with a range of health concerns and have also worked within the NHS on the Diabetes Prevention Programme as a health coach.

I am an ambassador for the Public Health Collaboration charity [phcuk.orc] and run courses for local GP surgeries and their patients, helping them to lose weight, lower their blood glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol.

I regularly give talks, workshops and interviews on a range of health related topics, including menopause and perimenopause; how to lose weight healthily and sustainably, managing and reversing osteoporosis, how to get a good night's sleep, healthy ageing, preventing dementia etc.
