00:00Did you know that 1 in 9 people over 65 in the U.S. have Alzheimer's?
00:04While there's no cure, researchers are exploring ways to slow it down.
00:08One surprising contender is kefir, a fermented milk drink rich in probiotics.
00:13Recent studies suggest it could help reduce brain inflammation, boost antioxidants, and
00:17even lower beta-amyloid buildup in the brain, a hallmark of the disease.
00:21AOL says that while more research is needed, kefir could be a great addition to your diet.
00:26It's packed with nutrients and can be enjoyed on its own or in smoothies, baked goods, and
00:31dressings.
00:32Plus, there are non-dairy versions if you're lactose intolerant.
00:35Along with kefir, regular exercise, good sleep, and a brain-healthy diet can help protect
00:40your mind.
00:41Small steps now can make a big difference later.
