Last Week: Understanding Alzheimer's Disease
We learned Alzheimer's is the most common cause of dementia, a general term for memory loss and other cognitive abilities serious enough to interfere with daily life. The greatest known risk factor is older age. The majority of people with Alzheimer's are 65 and older, but it is not a normal part of aging. Alzheimer's is a progressive disease, where dementia symptoms gradually worsen over a number of years.
This Week: B Vitamins and Brain Health
This class will review the 8 B-vitamins, their role in our body, good dietary sources and evidence suggesting that adequate levels of this micronutrient are essential for optimal physiological and neurological functioning (brain health).
