Great article with practical tips of hanging on to a good memory. Last month a long term study was published in Neurology journal of 19,836 people aged over 45 years, that showed a link between dementia and high blood pressure.
It showed that people with high diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number) were more likely to have thinking or "cognitive" impairment, or problems with their memory, than people with normal diastolic blood pressure readings.
As you know it is esay to have high blood pressure and not know it. High blood pressure is able to be lowered in most people with diet, exercise and medication. Linking memory loss to high blood pressure acts as another reason to check your blood pressure regularly.
