A growing body of research suggests that certain eating habits, particularly the Mediterranean diet, may help counteract some of the genetic risk factors linked to dementia. Multiple sources highlight a remarkable potential for lowering the risk, even among individuals with higher genetic predispositions to Alzheimer’s disease.

Recent reports have raised concerns about a potential link between commonly used medications and an increased risk of dementia. Antacids, in particular, have been highlighted as possible contributors to cognitive decline. Health experts are urging the public to be cautious and informed about the medications they use.
