How brains age and why people develop dementia is still a mystery. But there’s some exciting research that’s hoping to shed light on it – and how beetroot could boost our grey matter.
More than 25,000 people aged over 40 have already signed up to the PROTECT project, an innovative online study that monitors how cognition changes over time.
All you have to do is complete annual tests of memory, reasoning and attention. And some people will be picked to drink beetroot juice to see how it boosts brain health.
