Just up your intake of good ol' vitamin D.
Getting Ample Vitamin D Reduces Your Dementia Risk By 32% — Yes, Really! Approximately 24 million people have dementia worldwide, and that number is growing. In fact, cases are expected to increase globally by 3 million this year alone. Researchers are working hard to figure out the best way to reduce these climbing numbers and have identified one promising—and shockingly simple—solution: increasing your vitamin D intake.
According to a 2018 study published by the Journal of the Neurobiological Studies, vitamin D helps exert antioxidant actions in the brain, protecting it from oxidative stress and glutamate neurotoxicity.Considering the growing global rate of dementia and the fact that 29% of U.S. adults are deficient in vitamin D, achieving vitamin D sufficiency should be top priority when developing a proactive care plan for maintaining healthy cognitive function with age.
