Our brain and heart health are intimately linked. A heart-healthy lifestyle isn’t just good for your ticker, it can also help protect your brain.
Heart disease is Australia’s leading single cause of death, and dementia is the second.
Both conditions have common risk factors, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, physical inactivity, diabetes and smoking.
Those with certain risk factors for heart disease also have an increased risk of dementia.
Vascular dementia, which develops due to problems with blood circulation to the brain, is the second most common form of dementia after Alzheimer’s disease.
Heart health and brain health, both rely on the consumption of specific nutrients from a range of different foods, in combination with adequate physical movement and effective stress management.
