One of the diseases many of us are most scared of getting is dementia. It is such a deeply traumatic and upsetting illness, for you and those around you. But, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), more than 55 million people live with dementia worldwide, and there are nearly 10 million new cases every year.
We are all keen to find ways to prevent the disease as much as we are able, but there are lots of things we do every day that are increasing our risk. Many know about the benefits of using our brains and eating foods like blueberries, but sneaking sugary snacks and sitting at your desk all day can make your chances of dementia more likely.
