Caregivers of individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias often ask what they can do to protect brain health or slow decline? While there is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, growing evidence suggests dietary patterns and lifestyle behaviors play a meaningful role in supporting cognitive health and reducing risk factors associated with decline. This webinar equips providers with evidence-informed guidance on nutrition strategies that may support brain health across the lifespan. Participants will explore the role of antioxidants, phytochemical, omega-3 fatty acids, B-vitamins and the gut microbiome in cognitive function. The webinar will be presented by Jenna Anding, Ph. D., AgriLife Extension nutrition specialist and professor, Texas A&M Department of Nutrition.
