VSH Free Lecture: "Preserving Brain Health: Impact of Nutrition on Alzheimer's" by Dean Sherzai, MD, & Ayesha Sherzai, MD, Oahu

Drs. Ayesha and Dean Sherzai will describe the profound effect of lifestyle on the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. In their research at Loma Linda, one of the healthiest places on earth, they were able to demonstrate the remarkable influence of lifestyle on cognitive health. What was consistently demonstrated was that a whole food, plant-based diet conferred protection against brain diseases such as stroke and Alzheimer's despite genetic risk. They’ll further discuss other lifestyle factors also important in preventing and even reversing cognitive decline.
