WASHINGTON – Last week, the World Health Organization released it’s first ever set of recommendations to reduce the global risk of the Dementia.

The main take-aways in the guidelines are to exercise more and maintain a healthy diet.

With emphasis on the benefits of the mediterranean diet, simple plant-based cooking, little meat and heavy use of olive oil.

The World Health Organization also recommends staying away from tobacco, limiting your alcohol content and maintaining a healthy blood pressure.

According to the health officials, there are ten million new cases of Dementia diagnosed each year and that is expected to triple by 2050.
