Enough sleep, especially in the middle of life, was associated with a reduced risk of dementia.
And even something as apparently trivial as more nightmares was also associated with the disease.
In a current TikTok video, the neurologist Dr. Baibing Chen, who is the name Dr. Bing used online, another with slumbering behavior that could increase their chances of developing dementia.
He listed three nightly habits that he would never do as a neurologist, and the first one contains a simple change in attitude.
Keep your white intoxicant under 50 decibels
Do not blow up your White Noise machine while trying to nod, the expert advised.
That does not mean that you shouldn’t use one – Dr. Bing even has a white noise machine.
“I understand – you are probably trying to snor your partner, or the dog licks its paw at 2 a.m.,” he said.
However, he explains: “If it is too loud, this can actually lead to hearing damage over time … hearing loss is one of the greatest risk factors for dementia later in life.”
We should strive for a maximum of 50 decibals that you can check on your phone, Dr. Bing known.
Some researchers have found that even a slight hearing loss increases her risk of dementia. Alzheimer’s Great Britain says that those who develop a poorer hearing between the ages of 40 and 65 are exposed to a special risk.
They go so far that hearing loss can even be seen as an early sign of dementia.
Why is hearing loss connected to dementia?
In conversation with the Johns Hopkins Medicine, Dr. Frank Lin that even a minor hearing loss in his research seemed to double the risk of dementia.
Brain scans showed that it was connected to the atrophy of the brain. He suggested that it can reduce their risk of social isolation (which is even a risk of dementia).
In addition, he said that a precise hearing helps you to record signs associated with balance.
“It also makes your brain more difficult to process only the sound. This unconscious multitasking can affect some of the mental processing that is necessary to be sure,” he said with – poor spatial awareness and even problems with walking and balance were associated with a higher risk of dementia.
We are not yet definitely why the association exists. However, investigations have shown that the determination and treatment of suspected hearing loss is advantageous in old age.
