Why Heart-Healthy Advice Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All

Link: ScienceDaily – Global heart health policies may not apply to all

What the Study Did: An international team examined heart health guidelines and how they fit low- and middle-income countries. They found environmental factors (e.g., pollution) and access barriers undermine these policies.

Summary: Social, economic, and geographic realities shape heart and brain health. Uniform advice doesn’t work everywhere.

Why It Matters: Cognitive outcomes depend on systemic issues—not just personal habits.

Patient Takeaway: We consider your full context—including environmental stressors—when evaluating your brain health.
