“One infection that has a particular association with aging is cytomegalovirus known as CMV. Most of us will get CMV at some point in our lives – it’s transmitted through the exchange of bodily fluids, so often transferred between dribbling toddlers or kissing teenagers.
To combat: Get vaccinated (an annual flu vaccine and up-to-date coronavirus vaccines are the most likely regular ones); wash your hands regularly, cook food thoroughly; and consider wearing a mask if you’re going to be somewhere with a particularly high risk of airborne infection.
Brush and floss your teeth regularly. Good oral hygiene keeps the unfriendly bacteria in your mouth at bay, and there’s evidence that this can reduce the risk of heart disease and even, maybe, dementia.”
