Dementia's on the rise, and many people can resonate with the brain fog that comes as a consequence of our fast-paced world. But - did you ever think that being picky with food might mess with your mental health?Dr. William Li breaks down this new research for us, as we chat about how what we eat is so closely linked to our brain health. It's not just about food though - we get into the importance of moving your body, hanging out with friends, and that all-important thing called sleep.We also talk about ways to keep dementia at bay, with Dr. Li sharing some hopeful insights, as well as discussing the not so well known glymphatic system, which is like a brain car wash that only works when you're snoozing.Dr. William Li is a world-renowned physician, scientist, and author.
