Could your body shape be the secret to a younger brain? :brain::flexed_biceps:
In a major breakthrough, scientists have discovered that people with more muscle and less hidden belly fat (visceral fat) tend to have younger-looking brains — and a lower risk of dementia, including Alzheimer’s.

Unlike visible fat, visceral fat wraps around your internal organs and may silently accelerate brain ageing. Researchers scanned over 1,100 middle-aged adults and found a strong link between body composition and brain health.

This powerful study shows that building muscle and reducing hidden fat could be key to protecting your mind as you age — and may even influence how future weight-loss drugs are designed.

Watch now to learn how your body could be your brain’s best defense.

00:00What if building muscle could protect your brain from aging?
00:03Scientists have just uncovered a body type that may shield you from dementia,
00:07and it's not what you think.
00:09It's not about being skinny.
00:11It's about what's hidden inside your body.
00:13A groundbreaking U.S. study has found that people with more muscle
00:16and less hidden belly fat, known as visceral fat,
00:19actually have younger, healthier brains.
00:22Researchers scanned over a thousand middle-aged people
00:25and made a stunning discovery.
00:27The ones with more muscle mass and lower visceral fat to muscle ratios
00:31had brains that looked years younger.
00:34But those with more hidden fat?
00:36Their brains looked older.
00:38Unlike fat under the skin,
00:40this hidden fat wraps around your organs and silently fuels brain aging.
00:44Even slim people can carry it without knowing.
00:47The good news?
00:48Muscle mass is something you can build.
00:50It's a powerful, visible marker of health.
00:53And now, brain health too.
00:55Experts say reducing visceral fat while preserving muscle
00:58could be the key to cutting your dementia risk.
01:01And with obesity and dementia both rising fast,
01:04this finding could shape the future of weight loss treatments
01:07and possibly save millions of minds.
01:10And with obesity and dementia, this finding will be more vulnerable.
01:12And this is what we're making for that.
01:14The weight of the body of the brain makes the same way.
01:16And it's a very small way,
01:17and it's a very small way that we're helping to maintain weight loss from it.
01:19It can also be more of a high meaning in that.
01:21So that's how we want to use.
01:22When you're using the same âm,
01:23you know, having to bring weight loss out of weight loss.
01:25You know, you can see the same weight loss.
01:27It's much more of a low value in that.
01:29So that it's important to look at my number of weight loss.
