Scientists suggest that if you sit on the floor and manage to get your fingers past your toes, and you’re 40 or older, it could be a sign that your arteries are flexible.
The link between arterial stiffness and dementia has long been suspected, particularly because it is strongly associated with other known risk factors for neurodegenerative disease, such as hypertension and atherosclerosis.
The Alzheimer’s Society explains: “Long-term search studies have demonstrated that high blood pressure is a mid-life key factor that can increase your risk of developing dementia in later life.”
The main danger of high blood pressure lies in the damage it inflicts to the blood vessels leading to the brain.
