Walking Speed Reveals Brain Age and Health Risks
Slower walking speed in adults, even as young as 45, correlates with smaller brains, cognitive decline, and increased risks of hospitalization and mortality; this is linked to reduced physical function and may be predictable from childhood.

Nanoplastics Found in Human Brains: A New Threat to Public Health
Research at the University of New Mexico has found nanoplastics in human brains, potentially linking plastic pollution to health problems like dementia, while a separate study shows a correlation between nanoplastic-polluted oceans and increased risks of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.

Lifestyle Factors Significantly Impact Age-Related Cognitive Decline
A study of over 700,000 adults reveals that while age-related cognitive decline is normal, lifestyle factors like sleep quality, cardiovascular health, and exercise significantly impact brain health, with some individuals exhibiting exceptional cognitive function comparable to those 30 years younger...

Super Agers: Exceptional Brains and Lifestyles
Super agers, individuals over 80 with exceptional memory, possess thicker brain regions associated with cognition, larger-than-average nerve cells resistant to Alzheimer's damage, and demonstrate a higher degree of social intelligence brain cells, although genetics and lifestyle also play a role.

Cycling Significantly Lowers Dementia Risk: A 13-Year Study
A 13-year study of 479,000 British adults published in JAMA Network Open reveals that regular cycling significantly reduces dementia risk, unlike walking alone, due to enhanced cognitive function and cerebral blood flow.

Exercise: A Proven Mental Health Strategy
Regular exercise, including short walks, significantly improves mental health by boosting brain function and releasing mood-boosting chemicals; studies show it's as effective as medication for some and more effective when combined.
