NARFE June
It's a new day in the fight against Alzheimer's. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's approval of aducanumab (Aduhelm™) — the first drug to slow the progression of Alzheimer's — is the beginning of a completely new future for Alzheimer's treatments. The Alzheimer's Association® expects this will be the first of a number of treatments to come. This is an important milestone in the treatment of Alzheimer's, and a victory for people living with Alzheimer's and their families. We are grateful for your passion to fuel Association efforts to advance groundbreaking research. Thank you for sharing our vision of a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia.

Mediterranean diet may help lower dementia risk
The Mediterranean diet, rich in vegetables, fruits, olive oil and fish, may help protect the brain from plaque buildup and shrinkage, a new study suggests. Researchers note that the results contribute to the body of evidence that links healthy eating habits with brain health and cognitive performance in old age. Heather Snyder, Ph.D., Alzheimer's Association vice president of Medical and Scientific Relations, says, "What we know is what's good for your heart is good for your brain, so eat a balanced diet but also get active, get moving and stay engaged."
