One of the most pressing health concerns today is dementia, and emerging science reveals a powerful connection between nutrition, nervous system function, and brain health.
At Beverly Family Chiropractic, we believe in a whole-body approach to health. New research confirms what we’ve known for years—true wellness begins with proactive care.
A groundbreaking study published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia (2024) shows that being deficient in Omega-3s, Vitamin D, and B vitamins increases dementia risk more than diabetes and high cholesterol!
What the Research Says
The study found that:
- A deficiency in Omega-3, Vitamin D, and B vitamins quadruples dementia risk.
- Each point decrease in nutrient levels was linked to a 50% higher risk of developing dementia.
- Nutrient deficiencies impact brain aging more than high blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
- Taking only one nutrient at a time isn’t enough—nutrients work together to support cognitive function.
The Big Takeaway? Your brain health depends on the essential nutrients you give it. But nutrition alone isn’t enough—brain and nervous system function are equally important.
How Chiropractic Care Supports Brain Health
Your brain and nervous system control everything in your body—including memory, focus, and cognitive function. If your spine isn’t properly aligned, it can cause stress on the nervous system, leading to poor communication between the brain and the rest of the body.
Regular chiropractic adjustments help:
- Improve blood flow and oxygenation to the brain.
- Reduce inflammation that contributes to neurodegenerative diseases.
- Optimize nervous system function to support cognitive performance.
- Enhance the body’s ability to absorb and utilize essential nutrients.
Chiropractic care and proper nutrition go hand in hand when it comes to preventing chronic illnesses like dementia.
What You Can Do to Protect Your Brain
In the absence of a cure for dementia, prevention is key! Here’s how you can take action:
- Nourish your brain – The Supplement with Omega-3s, Vitamin D, and B vitamins to fill common nutrient gaps.
- Get adjusted – Chiropractic care helps improve nervous system function, which plays a crucial role in brain health and aging.
- Move well, eat well, think well – A healthy lifestyle, including exercise and stress management, is essential for long-term brain function.
Don’t wait until symptoms appear—take charge of your health today!
