What do Bruce Willis, Ronald Reagan, Sugar Ray Robinson, Tony Bennet, and Gabriel García Márquez have in common?
Besides being well-known worldwide for their talent in their respective fields, such as leaders, writing, music, sports, and acting, they also suffered from a common disease that regular people from all walks of life can be affected by: Alzheimer's and dementia.
According to the American Alzheimer's Association, more than 6 million Americans of all ages have Alzheimer's. An estimated 6.7 million Americans age 65 and older will be living with Alzheimer's in 2023. Seventy-three percent are age 75 or older. About 1 in 9 people age 65 and older (10.7%) has Alzheimer's.
In today's episode, our guest, Dr. Tommy Wood, assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Washington, tells us how to decrease the risk of dementia through lifestyle choices to preserve cognitive function.
Dr. Wood, with his wealth of knowledge, helps us understand the importance of nutrition, physical activity, and sleep while emphasizing the significance of community and stress management.
During our conversation, we also touched upon the vital role of mental stimulation through hobbies and learning activities in protecting our brains from cognitive decline. We explore the possible benefits of creatine, choline, and omega-3s in concussion prevention and recovery.
Tune in as we unravel the profound influence of lifestyle decisions on our brain health and risk of dementia.
