Losing your sense of smell might sound like a minor inconvenience. Turns out it could be one of the earliest warning signs of Alzheimer's, years before any memory problems show up. Scientists this week found that the brain starts destroying smell-related nerve fibres long before symptoms appear, which changes how we think about early detection entirely.
Today, on Daily Dose I break down what that means and what to watch for, plus the science finally has an exact answer on how many serves of fruit and vegetables you actually need each day and most of us are eating half that amount. And we take a look at the Silicon Valley longevity machine and why the tech billionaires spending millions to live forever might be missing what the science has been saying all along.
Simple science, real news, no hype. Let’s go. 🍎
