Introduction

Worldwide, up to 50 million people and their families are living with some form of the degenerative and irreversible disease of Alzheimer’s. By 2030, this number is expected to rise to a staggering 76 million people globally who will be living with this condition. At this time, there is no cure. Many families have asked, “Is there something that could have been done to prevent or slow down Alzheimer’s disease?” Written by a Registered Dietitian who witnessed the gradual decline and loss of both parents to this disease, this book takes a look at the evolving and promising power of food and diet to thwart off the clutches of Alzheimer’s. The author also includes brief anecdotes of other families whose lives have been forever changed by loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease.
