The Connection Between Brain Health, Circulation, and Nutrition: An In-Depth Look at Alzheimer’s, Dementia, and Lifestyle Interventions
Understanding Brain Circulation and Its Role in Dementia
The brain is a highly active organ, consuming a significant portion of the body's oxygen and nutrients. Inside the brain, approximately 400 miles of blood vessels are responsible for maintaining this vital supply, making healthy circulation essential for optimal function. As we age, these blood vessels can become narrowed, hardened, or clogged—a process known as angiogenesis—which impairs blood flow. This deterioration is closely linked to cognitive decline, dementia, and Alzheimer's disease.
