Dementia is a syndrome that causes a decline in memory, thinking, and daily functioning beyond normal aging. It is a growing global health concern, with cases in the Philippines projected to reach more than 2.5 million by 2050. While dementia is irreversible, nutrition and lifestyle may play a key role in reducing risks, slowing progression, and supporting overall brain health.
