Scientists Say This 1 Common Habit May Cause Faster Memory Decline in Some People

Summary: A new study shows that eating too much salt might harm your memory, especially if you are an older man. Scientists watched over 1,200 adults for six years. They found that men who ate a lot of salt had more trouble remembering specific events. High salt can cause high blood pressure, which damages tiny blood vessels in the brain and lowers blood flow to the memory center. To protect your brain, try to eat fresh foods and use herbs instead of salt.
