Rethinking Cognitive Decline

Cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s have often been perceived as inevitable consequences of aging. However, recent research suggests that these conditions may be avoidable or even reversible. The implications of this new perspective are profound, as they challenge long-held beliefs about brain health and aging. Innovative approaches that target root causes, including toxins and lifestyle factors, are being explored to prevent or mitigate these diseases, redefining the narrative around cognitive health.
