Everyone has a chance of developing dementia, but simple lifestyle changes could help protect your brain and reduce your risk.

Dr Harry Pritchard, Alzheimer’s Society Research Fellow at the University of Manchester, has dedicated his career to studying the link between cardiovascular health and dementia.

In a recent report, he highlights five key lifestyle steps everyone can take to protect their brain:

1. Keep blood pressure under control - High blood pressure strains your arteries, including those in the brain, increasing the risk of long-term damage.

2. Maintain a healthy weight - Obesity raises the chance of diabetes, high blood pressure, and chronic inflammation, all linked to dementia.

3. Manage blood sugar levels - Poorly controlled diabetes can damage brain blood vessels, allowing toxins to harm nerve cells.

4. Quit smoking - Smoking damages blood vessels and reduces oxygen to the brain, but stopping can reduce risk to near non-smoker levels.

5. Stay physically active - Regular exercise improves heart and blood vessel health, helping deliver blood to the brain and lowering dementia risk by up to 20%.

Dr Pritchard is also a proud member of our Dementia Run Club, part of our AJ Bell and Great Runs partnership, using running to raise awareness and support brain health.

09/02/2026 - Spotkanie PCN - NHS Apps workshops
Serdecznie dziękujemy wszystkim, którzy wzięli udział w ostatnim spotkaniu z Boston Primary Care Network w naszym WeConnect Community Hub.

Bardzo doceniamy Wasz czas, pomysły i ciągłe wsparcie w pomaganiu naszej społeczności w lepszym dostępie do usług zdrowotnych.

Cieszymy się, że możecie skorzystać na tej współpracy - już dziś widzimy pozytywny wpływ ostatnich projektów na naszą społeczność.

PS. w rogu zdjęcia widać mistrza drugiego planu - smacznie śpiącego syna jednej z uczestniczek 😉 To chyba najlepszy dowód na to, że w WeConnect każdy czuje się komfortowo i bezpiecznie!

Przypomnienie: Nasza Grupa Wsparcia dla Osób Dotkniętych Rakiem spotyka się cyklicznie w wybrane Poniedziałki w naszej Świetlicy Środowiskowej WeConnect.

Jeśli Ty lub ktoś, kogo znasz, potrzebuje bezpiecznej, przyjaznej przestrzeni do rozmowy, podzielenia się lub po prostu bycia wysłuchanym — serdecznie zapraszamy.

Dziękujemy, że jesteście częścią naszej społeczności WeConnect.

We truly appreciate your time, ideas and continued support in helping our community gain better access to healthcare services.

We are very pleased to see the benefits of this collaboration — we can already observe the positive impact of recent projects on our community.

PS: In the corner of the photo you can spot the true background champion — one participant’s son peacefully asleep 😉 That’s probably the best proof that everyone feels comfortable and safe at WeConnect!

Reminder:

Our Cancer Support Group meets regularly on selected Mondays at our WeConnect Community Hub.

If you or someone you know needs a safe, friendly space to talk, share experiences or simply be listened to — you are very welcome to join us.

2026-02-09 – PCN susitikimas – NHS programėlių dirbtuvės

Nuoširdžiai dėkojame visiems, kurie dalyvavo neseniai vykusiame susitikime su Boston Primary Care Network mūsų WeConnect bendruomenės centre.

Labai vertiname jūsų laiką, idėjas ir nuolatinę paramą padedant mūsų bendruomenei geriau pasiekti sveikatos priežiūros paslaugas.

Džiaugiamės šiuo bendradarbiavimu – jau dabar matome teigiamą pastarųjų projektų poveikį mūsų bendruomenei.

PS. Nuotraukos kampe galima pastebėti tikrą „antro plano čempioną“ — vienos dalyvės sūnų saldžiai miegantį 😉 Tai turbūt geriausias įrodymas, kad WeConnect visi jaučiasi patogiai ir saugiai!

Primename:

Mūsų onkologinių pacientų palaikymo grupė reguliariai susitinka pasirinktus pirmadienius WeConnect bendruomenės centre.

Jeigu jums ar jūsų pažįstamam reikia saugios, draugiškos erdvės pasikalbėti, pasidalinti ar tiesiog būti išklausytam — maloniai kviečiame prisijungti.

Ačiū, kad esate mūsų WeConnect bendruomenės dalis.
