Hyperlipidemia and Memory The Brain-Heart Connection

Transcript

00:00We all know high cholesterol harms the heart.

00:03But did you know it affects your memory too?

00:06Hyperlipidemia means cholesterol and fats in the blood are too high.

00:10Over time, it doesn't just strain your heart, it reaches your brain as well.

00:15When cholesterol builds up in brain blood vessels, blood flow slows down.

00:20Less oxygen and nutrients get to the brain cells that keep your memory sharp.

00:24That's why high cholesterol is linked to memory lapses and slower thinking.

00:28If it goes unchecked, it can even raise the risk of dementia.

00:33Your brain and heart are deeply connected.

00:36A healthy heart pumps strong blood flow.

00:38Your brain depends on that flow to stay sharp.

00:41The good news?

00:43Small steps help.

00:45Stay active, eat more fish and veggies, and keep blood pressure steady.

00:49Don't forget medications if prescribed.

00:52So remember, caring for your cholesterol isn't just about the heart.

00:56It's one of the simplest ways to protect your brain and keep your memories alive.
