Three Foods That May Reduce Dementia Risk by 41%

A study published in Neurology suggests that consuming leafy greens, seafood, and nuts may reduce the risk of dementia by 41%, as these foods help combat anaemia, a condition linked to increased dementia risk. Anaemia, caused by low haemoglobin levels, affects oxygen delivery to the brain and is prevalent among older adults. The research, involving over 12,000 participants, found that those with anaemia were significantly more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease. The study highlights the importance of maintaining balanced haemoglobin levels, though it notes that further research is needed to understand the direct role of haemoglobin in dementia risk.

6 lesser-known signs of bowel cancer to watch out for

Bowel cancer may not show any symptoms during the early stages, but as the cancerous tumour grows and spreads, symptoms such as unexplained weight loss, pain in the body, constipation, diarrhoea, anaemia, and blood in stools may appear. Treatment such as radiotherapy or chemotherapy can sometimes shrink cancer and reduce symptoms. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is advised to book a doctor's appointment.

"Boost Your Iron Intake: Vegan Sources and Supplements for Anaemia Prevention"

Iron is an essential nutrient that plays a vital role in many bodily functions, and iron deficiency is the most common type of nutrient deficiency. Vegetarians can consume enough iron by including foods like lentils, amaranth, raisins, soybeans, and curry leaves in their diet. Consuming vitamin C-rich foods together with foods rich in non-heme iron may increase the absorption of iron by up to 300%. Other tips to improve iron absorption include avoiding coffee and tea with meals, soaking, sprouting, and fermenting grains and legumes, using a cast iron pan, and consuming plant foods rich in lysine.
