Alzheimer's Society Comment On Research Linking High Blood Pressure To Memory Problems

Data in a recent study published in Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology links elevated diastolic blood pressure to the cognitive impairment of people over 45


The study of nearly 20,000 people aged 45 (average age 65) found that people with high diastolic blood pressure, the bottom number of a blood pressure reading, were more likely to have cognitive impairment or problems with their memory than people with normal readings.


Previous research has demonstrated that people with high blood pressure have an increased risk of developing dementia later in life.


High blood pressure affects one in three adults in the UK with a quarter of people not aware that they have it.


'This large study adds weight to the growing body of evidence that high blood pressure can be linked to cognitive impairment. Now further study is needed to establish why these two factors could be linked.


'Alzheimer's Society recommends that you can reduce your blood pressure by exercising regularly, eating healthily and not smoking. High blood pressure can often also be controlled by medication so if you're not sure what your blood pressure is or haven't had it checked recently you should visit your GP to have it measured.'

  2. ...3d bioprinting-Immortality (mom-printer: not euthanasia)… within 1 century, to die will be "out of fashion"... whereas there is Life there is hope for hook to 1st Immortal Generation… There is not another life in none "life beyond" of religion´s lies. The unique Immortality it is coming from We self: Technological Immortality… modified BIOLOGICAL TIMERS...3D BIOPRINTING... on wake up, but...if I am, when I was 18 years old...and still so I remember all my life in the ancient body before…(that is the important: REMEMBER the previous lives after each mortal accident, not remember will serve of nothing because then always you will be living 1 only time without know it)… On the body the important is the head, in the head the important is the brain, in the brain the important is...The Memory...which is, along with Genes and Image, simply, what we are... Your recorded Memory to the new young perfect identical Bioprinted Body and...Immortality...already the accidents do not matter. The Memory is the "soul" (software), our body only is the "automobile" that transport us (hardware)… To what extent are we willing to recognize a friend, or picture yourself, who has received an orthopedic implant after an accident?. Until 1 leg?, besides of leg the 2 arms?, besides of this the chest?, besides of this...where until we still considering to it the same person?... (it´s me!, it´s me!...we would shout without voice, only with head and an extracorporeal machine, on hear to them saying…"well already we must disconnect to it"). Ultimately, already outside from the physical body, the Memory remains...wherever our Memory goes, we go away with her… Record the Memory in a electronic format and stored by Law in the Official Data Banks, along with Genes and some Photos of each one, waiting there are in the Future... 1: BIOPRINTED BODIES genetically identical, in image and in all, to the originals in which "revitalize" to the electronic sleepers… 2: SPACE where to live a New and Immortal Life in some Universe´s habitable place... We do not can claim stay all ones here, besides each star and planet they have "expiration date"... "Earth is the cradle of the reason, but is impossible to live eternally in a cradle" (Konstantin E. Tsiolkovski)… ((But...is that…"it" already would be not "Me" of "black paw´s ham"...it would be a "cyborg/clone/avatar/frankenstein"... Are you sure?, because to sleep, lose consciousness, "it" of "black paw´s ham" dies and disappears every night (die=sleep=fall fainted: switch off and darkness...the unique difference is when sleeping the body continues horizontal living alone vegetal without us, how an empty house no owner occupied)...and on wake up "it" appears every morning (rebirths)...and our MEMORY instantly auto-recognize us, the same in our own original body which in our new body (new car eh!)… If we would have lost the Memory...we would have lost the Life))… Have to accelerate Research about Memory and the Space´s Colonization… Immortality comes... Memory-Genes-Photo>>Bioprinted Body>>Space...
