Making a home-cooked meal at least once a week could help slash older people’s risk of dementia by up to 30 percent, Japanese researchers said Tuesday, and up to 70 percent for new cooks.
A six-year study of nearly 11,000 men and women aged 65 and older showed that people who cooked more often saw a lowered risk of the devastating neurodegenerative diseases. Around half cooked up to five times a week.
