There’s no magic pill to prevent dementia but there is something that may ward off or delay it, according to a new study.

Best of all, you can buy this protection over the counter at the pharmacy. You can even get it by taking a walk in the sunshine or by eating a tuna sandwich. 

Getting enough vitamin D on a daily basis is associated with a lower risk of dementia and living dementia-free for longer.

Researchers from the University of Calgary and the University of Exeter in England found 40 per cent fewer dementia diagnoses over 10 years in the group who took vitamin D supplements.
