Cut your risk of dementia by 20% with this dietary change

Dementia risk has been found to increase by 14% when people consume approximately 1 ounce of processed red meat per day, according to a preliminary study. This is equivalent to slightly less than two 3-ounce servings a week. The study also found that the risk of dementia decreased by 20% when participants replaced the daily serving of processed red meat with nuts and legumes. Processed red meats have been linked to colon cancer, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. It is important to take action to reduce the risks of dementia by adopting known measures to reduce cardiovascular disease. The study was observational and cannot establish a cause-and-effect relationship.
