They add that the US will spend $360 billion for dementia care in 2024. “Brain health is impacted by choices made over a lifetime,” Cleveland Clinic’s Brain Health Center Director Dr. Dylan Wint told HuffPost. There is a physician consensus that there are universally recognized ways to enhance cognitive function even though genetics, chronic illness and individual risk factors can impact dementia, according to HuffPost.

"It’s no secret that the caregivers of spouses with memory impairment face enormous amounts of stress. Researchers at Rice University have found that this intense pressure can be felt at the cellular level and is linked to negative physical and mental health effects, including dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The study titled 'Mitochondrial health, physical functioning, and daily affect: Bioenergetic mechanisms of dementia caregiver well-being,' is published online in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine. It is one of the first studies to examine how cellular health may impact the well-being of spousal dementia caregivers who are experiencing significant daily stress. 'This work builds on our previous research on chronic stress and immunity by highlighting the crucial role of cellular health in the mind-body connection,' said Christopher Fagundes, Ph.D., professor of psychological sciences at Rice and one of the study’s authors. 'We’ve discovered that chronic stress impacts not only immune function but also the health of individual cells, suggesting a deeper, more intricate relationship between our mental state and physical well-being.'"
