The Brain-Body Connection: Insights and Q&A Session

🧠Zone 2 cardio is beneficial for brain health and can help prevent dementia.

💊Selective pharmacology may be used in the future to offset age-related cognitive decline and dementia.

💥Head injuries, such as those from contact sports or accidents, can contribute to neurodegeneration.

🌡️Hyperbaric chambers are being explored for their potential to improve traumatic brain injury and neurodegeneration.

🚭Avoid recreational drugs like MDMA (ecstasy) that can deplete dopamine and cause neurodegeneration.

What can I do to prevent dementia?

—Engage in Zone 2 cardio exercise, maintain overall health, and limit exposure to head injuries.

Are there any medications that can help prevent cognitive decline?

—Selective pharmacology may be used in the future, but it is not recommended to take drugs without medical supervision.

Can hyperbaric chambers improve brain health?

—Hyperbaric chambers are being researched for their potential to improve traumatic brain injury and neurodegeneration, but further studies are needed.

Are recreational drugs like MDMA harmful to brain health?

—Recreational drugs, including MDMA, can deplete dopamine and cause neurodegeneration, so it is best to avoid them.

How important is oral hygiene for brain health?

—Oral hygiene, such as maintaining saliva production, is important for remineralization of teeth and overall health.
