The chronic illness affects almost one in ten Australians aged 65 plus.

Whilst there is currently no cure, a nutritional expert for older people believes you can actually cheat dementia by eating better food for the brain. We may be a long way from finding a cure for dementia, but in the meantime, you can always learn more about how to maximise your brain health by checking out the Your Brain Matters website.

If you’d like more information on how to manage life with dementia, you can call the Alzheimer’s Australia helpline on 1800 100 500 or visit their website at fightdementia.org.au

You can also contact the National Dementia Helpline through the Telephone Interpreting Service on 131 450.
