aging well

Age is the main risk factor for cognitive decline. So with more people around the world living longer, cases of dementia are set to rise. There's currently no cure - but research suggests that happiness can reduce the impact of this awful illness. 

Psychologist Emily Willroth helped write a chapter on this topic for the 2024 World Happiness Report - and explains how making friends, helping others and engaging in fun physical activities can slow cognitive decline, even when the disease has taken hold.

We all get off track sometimes. Life gets busy, we indulge a little too much during the holidays, or we ignore the messages our body is sending us to sleep more and eat better. This can leave us feeling super sluggish, run-down, or unable to think clearly. This is what I call FLC syndrome? It’s when you feel like crap! 

In today’s episode, we feature four segments from The Doctor’s Farmacy Health Bites series about hitting the reset button on our diet and lifestyle choices and establishing new behaviors for our overall wellbeing.
