Unveiling Six Potential Reasons for Low Body Heat and Their Impacts
In a significant discovery, research is increasingly highlighting the connection between common habits and the risk of developing dementia. According to The Lancet, addressing these modifiable factors could potentially reduce up to 40% of dementia cases worldwide.
One of the most damaging lifestyle habits for brain health in aging populations, as demonstrated by a decade-long European study of 32,000 older adults, is smoking. However, smokers who maintain other healthy habits, such as regular exercise, moderate drinking, and strong social connections, show cognitive aging rates similar to non-smokers.
Low physical activity and social contact are also linked to a higher dementia risk. Maintaining social connections can mitigate cognitive decline and support brain resilience.
Controllable risk factors for certain dementia types, such as vascular dementia, include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and obesity. Managing these through dietary measures and lifestyle changes can reduce risk by promoting vascular health and preventing brain cell damage due to impaired blood flow.
Chronic stress exacerbates other risk factors and may compound cognitive decline, especially among populations facing socioeconomic disadvantages.
Both moderate to high alcohol consumption and untreated hearing loss during midlife have been linked to increased dementia risk. Early intervention and management can help reduce cognitive decline.
The National Library of Medicine offers resources for understanding emergency medical situations, while websites like Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins Medicine, and Harvard Health Publishing provide information on a variety of health conditions, including symptoms related to dementia, body temperature, and other medical topics. Our Foundation's website also provides information about symptoms such as itchy all over, waking up dizzy, and itchy pubic hair.
NeuroVita Global discusses the link between dementia and a specific common habit, shedding light on yet another modifiable risk factor. As the evidence continues to mount, it becomes increasingly clear that supporting brain health involves managing cardiovascular risk, maintaining cognitive and social activity, avoiding harmful behaviors like smoking, and managing stress and depression.

Science reveals that maintaining a health-and-wellness routine, including regular fitness-and-exercise, strong social connections, and a balanced nutrition, can potentially lower the risk of developing dementia, as demonstrated by various studies and data analyses. For instance, smokers who also adopt healthy habits exhibit cognitive aging rates similar to non-smokers, while low physical activity and social contact increase the dementia risk. Additionally, addressing factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, chronic stress, moderate to high alcohol consumption, and untreated hearing loss during midlife, through lifestyle changes and dietary measures, can help manage the risk of certain dementia types.
