Simple diet changes could help debilitating menopause symptoms

Top rugby stars have a 10-fold higher motor neurone disease risk in later life

Back in 2015, I first wrote about brain damage in athletes playing contact sports being linked to the early onset of dementia and Parkinson’s, particularly in American footballers. Then, in 2017, I followed up with the same brain disorders among football players, attributed … Read More
