Nearly 9 in 10 Americans say maintaining brain health as they age is very important, yet few know a lot about how to do it.  A recent survey of U.S. adults 40 and older found that respondents identify mid-life (ages 40 to 64) as the critical window to adopt habits that may support brain health, as many risk factors linked to later cognitive decline begin to emerge during these years.  To talk more about it with us, we’re joined in this episode by Dr.Heather M. Snyder, Ph.D., Senior Vice President, Medical & Scientific Relations of the Alzheimer's Association.
