Dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, is characterized by cognitive decline and decreased brain function. Recent scientific studies have investigated the role of nutrition in dementia, and have provided suggested nutritional changes for those at risk for dementia. This book discusses nutritional interventions that can promote brain health to decrease the risk of developing dementia, as well as slow the progression of the disease in those diagnosed with dementia.

For decades, the medical profession has advocated for nutritional management as part of the treatment strategy for a variety of illnesses including diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and excessive cholesterol. There are currently no such recommendations for brain aging and dementia. Nutrition was only recently accorded scientific-field status, and eating has been recognized as a valid technique of defending oneself against brain aging and disorders such as Alzheimer's.
