It is a common saying among neurologists that what is good for the heart is also good for the brain. Not only is this true of exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and keeping blood pressure within a healthy range, but now a study suggests that blood sugar levels lower than the usual diagnostic criteria for diabetes may be detrimental to brain health.
It has long been known that high blood sugar levels are damaging to the circulatory system, contributing to atherosclerosis (plaques in the arteries) and associated problems like nerve damage, eye and kidney problems, gum disease and even heart attack and stroke.
As a major organ, the brain is dependent on the circulatory system for oxygen and other compounds necessary for cell health. When circulatory health is impeded, the brain suffers.

Cheers for that, make it even harder for us why don't you? 🙄
