Looking after your heart can save your brain

Reuters is reporting a study from the UK which suggests that looking after our cardiovascular system - through exercise and good diet - can also protect from some forms of dementia. Whilst it cannot ward of Alzheimers' disease it can help prevent so-called vascular dementia, another common form of mental impairment in the elderly.

For those of us battling middle-age spread, this is another incentive to get fit and eat healty.
