Goodbye dementia: 5 foods that protect the brain after 60.

Deep in the minds of many, there is a deep-rooted belief that old age is inevitably associated with forgetfulness, mental confusion, and that frightening “senile dementia.” As if it inevitably comes with gray hair and aching knees.

But in reality, it’s one of the most persistent myths about aging. A kind of fatalism that, for one reason or another, we continue to believe.

In reality, brain aging isn’t a sudden avalanche, but rather a slow and manageable process. And while dementia, particularly in the form of Alzheimer’s disease, affects millions of older people, it is by no means a death sentence.

“Aging is not a loss of youth, but a new stage with new opportunities,” said Bethe Schaefer.

And this fully applies when we talk about brain health.

Numerous studies in gerontology show that it is quite possible to slow down or even stop the destructive processes of the brain. The main condition is to start taking care of yourself in time. And these are not complex or inaccessible solutions like drops containing nanoparticles or secret methods.
