Why This Blog Exists
Supplement websites rarely talk about the things that matter most for memory after 50, because they can’t be sold: sleep, hearing, blood pressure, staying active and staying connected. The 2024 Lancet Commission on dementia named 14 modifiable risk factors — among them hearing loss, high blood pressure, physical inactivity and social isolation — and estimated that addressing them could potentially prevent or delay 45% of dementia cases. These articles focus on that kind of evidence.
