Episode 9: How climate change affects our brain health and cognition with Burcin Ikiz
''You need to realize that if you're 40 years old and if you want to live to be 80, thinking, you know, I'll eat healthy when I turn 60, 70, let me live my life now. It doesn't work like that. One of the biggest risk factors for developing dementia later in life is how you lived your life in your midlife. So we have to realize that actually we have to make those changes right now.''
In this ninth episode of the Sustainable Human Podcast, our host Linda Jarnhamn talks to Burcin Ikiz, a neuroscientist who focuses on how environmental and lifestyle factors can affect brain health. Together they will explore questions around:
- Human behaviour, the environment and human health - how it's all connected
- What happens to the brain and our cognition when exposed to air pollution
- How our brains are wired towards a focus on the ''now'', avoiding the future
