Turn down the heat: Spicy foods linked to memory decline in inactive seniors

Research investigates the association between spicy food consumption and Alzheimer's disease (AD) or cognitive decline in older adults. The study found that a high level of spiciness in food is associated with decreased memory or global cognition, and this relationship is worsened by a physically inactive lifestyle.
