00:00Did you know the COVID pandemic aged your brain?
00:03Even if you never got the virus?
00:05A new study has revealed something shocking.
00:07Researchers found that just living through the pandemic
00:10made healthy brains age faster,
00:12using brain scans from nearly 1,000 people.
00:15Scientists discovered that the pandemic accelerated brain aging
00:19by an average of 5.5 months,
00:21and in some cases, up to 20 months faster.
00:24This happened regardless of infection.
00:27Even people who never caught COVID
00:29showed signs of faster brain decline.
00:31Why? Because of isolation,
00:33stress,
00:34uncertainty,
00:35and the pressure of living through a global crisis.
00:37Men were hit harder.
00:39So were people already struggling with money,
00:42health,
00:43or education.
00:44Those who did get infected showed even more decline,
00:47especially in mental speed and flexibility.
00:50Experts say this proves the pandemic didn't just affect our bodies.
00:53It changed our brains, too.
00:55And the most surprising part?
00:57It happened silently,
00:59with many never noticing the damage.
01:01Your brain may have aged faster,
01:03just by surviving the times we lived through.
01:05And as a result of the reality,
01:07it's slightly different between the two.
01:09It's very different.
01:10It's very different.
01:11It's very different.
01:12It's very different.
01:14As you know,
01:15you know the loss of this one,
01:16the two of the people are trying to come back to the issue.
01:17The loss of this one,
01:18is a result of the use of the pain.
01:19You know that you can possibly die.
