Dementia Researcher

This week Dr Fiona McLean from University of Dundee is with three colleagues all at the cutting edges of their fields to discuss their research, and the science behind vascular brain health, and what brain cells you’d really enjoy hanging out with on a night out in Glasgow! List to find out more… Maintaining a healthy brain is essential to having a healthy and long life. Brain health is increasingly talked about, but what does that really mean, and how does the vascular system play a role in that? Well, did you know that the health of your brain and your heart are connected? By keeping your heart and vascular system healthy, you also lower your risk for brain problems such as stroke and dementia… controlling blood pressure, eating health foods, and limiting alcohol, managing your risk of diabetes, not smoking and staying active and rested are important… this week our guests explore the science so don’t worry if you don’t know your extravascular cells from your endothelial cells, our great guests will explain
