A healthy childhood diet, particularly one low in ultra-processed foods (UPFs), can play a significant role in maintaining cognitive sharpness into the 70s and warding off dementia, according to recent discussions and studies. Experts emphasize that starting with a nutritious diet early in life benefits overall wellbeing throughout one's lifespan. The concept of a 'Right to Food' is highlighted as a public health approach that can positively impact lives for generations and potentially save billions in healthcare costs. Additionally, eating habits in one's forties, particularly around the age of 43, have been linked to a reduced risk of developing dementia later in life. Nearly a quarter of children in the country are obese, and there is a call for the next Prime Minister to prioritize prevention over quick-fix solutions.
