It's tempting to think of dementia as something in the long-distant future – a condition that only affects older people. But the factors that drive dementia arise much earlier than we might think – as early as our 20s or 30s. Preventing dementia requires a lifelong and multipronged approach that involves keeping inflammation (and its aging effects) at bay and making healthy lifestyle choices, such as exercising and consuming omega-3 fatty acids. In this edition of The Aliquot, Dr. Axel Montagne and Dr. Rhonda Patrick discuss the ongoing research and potential biological processes that could shape the future of dementia prevention.
Aliquot episodes make great companion listening for a long drive. You can find these special members-only episodes alongside live recorded Q&As on The Aliquot, our official premium FoundMyFitness podcast.
