Dementia is defined as a decline in mental ability, caused by damage to brain cells. It is a chronic condition, and it is often progressive. There are multiple types of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease and post-stroke dementia.

Whether dementia runs in your family, or you know someone who has it, you are probably concerned about the prospect of a dementia diagnosis. You may have observed some mental decline or suspicious behavior in people who are close to you, or you may have experienced a few early symptoms yourself. Regardless of the reason, this book is here to help.

To prevent and possibly reverse the effects of dementia, this book will explain how to eliminate triggers that lead to dementia and engage in mental and physical activities that make the brain more resilient to dementia. It is possible to be proactive and fight back against dementia, but the time to act is now. Waiting for a cure is not an option.
