Better brain health

Statistics show women have a higher prevalence of Alzheimer’s than men. In fact, according to the Alzheimer Society of Canada, women represent 72 per cent of all cases of Alzheimer’s disease, and 62 per cent of overall dementia cases.

It’s time to take charge of our lives before cognitive decline takes charge of us.
