Inflammation could steal your memories and moreįor their latest experiment the research team recruited 147 volunteers with an average age of 65. What they found is, to be honest, quite alarming. But according to published research in the journal Diabetes Care, it appears we need to add brain shrinkage to the list.įor five years a team of researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center studied the effects of diabetes on the cognitive health of older patients.
We already know, of course, that diabetes can lead to a host of other medical problems ranging from eye complications to heart problems. Now, I have another warning about brain atrophy and cognitive decline that those with diabetes… or those at risk for the disease… simply can’t afford to ignore. I’ve warned you before about the emerging connection between low vitamin B12 levels and brain shrinkage.
What if it was all happening inside hidden away? What if the damages were just as severe… trouble completing even the most simple of tasks like walking, talking, or writing… but the consequences were somehow even more sinister because you couldn’t see them coming? Spotting a shrinking problem Just contemplating how everyday occurrences could suddenly become threatening and insurmountable is still enough to give me a severe case of the willies.īut what if you couldn’t see the actual shrinking? I can still remember the shock I felt seeing it for the first time.
I like a good old-fashioned Sci-Fi flick as much as the next guy and one of my all-time favorites is the 1957 classic “The Incredible Shrinking Man.”
