The Community Center is the venue Tuesday, Feb. 4 for a free Empowered Patients Lunch & Learn discussion from noon to 1:15 p.m. The topic: the Dale Bredesen Flex 12/3 dietary program, physical exercise regime, and brain exercises that can be done to reverse cognitive decline.

Diet plays a key role in the prevention of Alzheimer's disease. The Ketoflex 12/3 diet, a form of time-restrictive eating that limits the period during which a person eats to a 12-hour window at least three hours before bedtime, promotes the production of ketones.
