Should You Share That Post About Dementia? 🤔
It’s easy to hesitate, worrying about losing followers. But here’s the reality: Approximately 150 million U.S. adults—nearly half of your followers—have experienced dementia through a family member, friend, or coworker.

🚨 Groundbreaking 3-year study just dropped: This Diet may have STOPPED progression of Alzheimer's
Participants following the MIND Diet (leafy greens, berries, nuts, healthy meats, olive oil) showed stable plasma Aβ42/40 levels — while the usual-diet group had a significant 2.8% decline.
