HAL CRANMER: This is how to get started with reversing dementia now: "Cut out . . . that candy bar after lunch, . . . then cut out your breakfast cereal, . . .

When someone asks me how do you get people in their 30s, 40s, and 50s to take their health seriously before dementia strikes, I tell them: "Visit an assisted living home near you—not as a resident, as motivation. Everyone who comes to my home says I don't want to be here, I want to live at home." Here's why: "Something that's very important to know is dementia starts in your 30s 40s and 50s. You don't see the signs and symptoms of it until your 60s 70s 80s 90s, but what you do in your 30s 40s and 50s can very much affect what happens to you in your older life especially with dementia and Alzheimer's." This is how to get started with reversing dementia now:

"Cut out one thing at a time—concentrate on that candy bar after lunch, get rid of that first, then cut out your breakfast cereal, then eat your burgers without a bun...Even if you don't go to the gym and work out, go walking, get out in the sunshine... just move."
