Can Alzheimer’s Disease Be Reversed with a Plant-Based Diet? | NutritionFacts.org
Dr. Dean Ornish publishes the first randomized controlled trial investigating whether a plant-based diet and lifestyle program may reverse the course of early-stage Alzheimer's disease.

Fascinating: The more participants diagnosed with early #Dementia #Alzheimers or #MildCognitiveImpairment adhered to a 🌱 #PlantBasedDiet & other lifestyle changes, the better their cognitive outcomes. This #Research by #DeanOrnish is the first randomized controlled trial of its kind. #HealthyAging 🤘

Just played around with this #Ai for creatives to build workflows on a canvas with access to all major AI models for image, video, & 3D model generation. Pretty intuitive with its #MindMap style workflow connections. Ran out of free credits pretty fast though.
