In 2023, it was estimated that there were 411,100 Australians living with dementia. Based on estimates, this is equivalent to 15 people with dementia per 1,000 Australians, which increases to 84 people with dementia per 1,000 Australians aged 65 and over. *
As a 52 year old who lives with brain damage causes by some small strokes in my 20s, brain health is really important to me. Based on the statistics for people living with dementia, I encourage you to focus on your brain health too.
This episode focuses on diet and lifestyle choices that reduce inflammation in the brain and support brain health and cognitive function overall.
