Calcium and Magnesium Deficiencies Linked to Cognitive Decline

A new study published in the journal Nutrients finds that lower levels of calcium and magnesium in the blood are linked to poorer cognitive performance in individuals over 60. The research highlights the importance of these micronutrients in maintaining cognitive health, suggesting that deficiencies may contribute to cognitive decline. Experts recommend obtaining these nutrients from whole foods rather than supplements, and emphasize the role of a balanced diet, social connections, and lifestyle choices in supporting brain health as we age.
