Abstract
Dementia is a condition that currently affects over 46 million people worldwide [1]. It is a growing problem of epidemic proportions and while efforts are being made to treat it, the prevalence is estimated to affect over 131 million by the year 2050 [1]. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia seen today, comprising 60-70% of all diagnosed cases of dementia [2]. The purpose of this editorial is to review the potential benefits of the Mediterranean diet and some botanicals on AD.
