RELATED STORY: Drives your dementia risk up by 89 percent, easy to fix In 2016, Mark Hatzer began to notice his mother struggling to remember birthdays or arrangements she had made with friends.

Diet. After seeing that rates of dementia were far lower in Mediterranean countries, mother and son copied their...
