Obesity and Dementia, Dyslexia, Brain Function and Social Justice, and More
Description
In Tonic, Dr. Norman Swan leads a team of reporters who cover all aspects of health, from lifestyle to complementary medicines to the most recent medical discoveries. Topics covered in this episode include: *How Being Overweight or Obese in Midlife Can Increase Your Risk of Dementia When You're Older: Research from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm has given us another reason not to let those added kilos creep on over time: being overweight or obese in midlife can increase your risk of dementia in later life. Casey Beros sits down with Professor Nancy Pedersen to discuss the findings and what they mean for the general public and those predisposed to dementia. *Understanding What Goes Wrong with Reading and Writing, Due to Dyslexia: Up to ten percent of children and adults have dyslexia-they have trouble reading, writing, and understanding the written word. It's got nothing to do with intelligence, but it can cause stress, anxiety, depression, and underachievement at school.
