Imagine your brain is a delicate garden, and Alzheimer’s is the pesky weed trying to take over. Well, a new study shows that the timing of hormone therapy may either help you pull out those weeds or let them run rampant. This research found a curious link between hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and Alzheimer’s disease, a condition that tends to affect women more than men. Like a well-timed application of weed killer, hormone therapy at the right time may reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s. However, if used at the wrong time, it could increase the likelihood of this neurological weed spreading. The study sheds light on when HRT can have the most beneficial effects or potentially do harm. To dig deeper into this fascinating topic, venture into the original research!
