New Discovery in the Linkage Between Brain and Cardiovascular Health

Hi everyone! Lately I have been very interested in the connection between the brain and different parts of our body, such as our gastrointestinal system or our endocrine system. In this article by Sonia Epstein, traumatic brain injuries are presented as an overlooked risk for cardiovascular diseases, and how the two tend to propel individuals into a group that faces early death and serious disabilities; however, this study found that performing screenings and such treatments can help prevent these future outcomes. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in brain-body connections as well! The link is below. Happy reading :)
