A number of studies have shown a connection between certain types of infections and stroke --that is, stroke can be a complication of another disease, such as flu or pneumonia. Preventing such infections in people who have risk factors for stroke is one obvious way to prevent stroke. A recent study by researchers at Columbia University showed that people with a medical history of more infections have more memory and other cognition problems that people with fewer infections. In other words, the more infections you have in your lifetime, the worse you do on tests of cognition. Chronic infections, such as those associated with herpes, were more problematic than acute infections, such as those associated with the common cold. Other studies have shown a link between infection and the progression of Alzheimer's. Although the reason why infections are connected to cognitive decline isn't clear, avoiding infection, particularly chronic infections, is one way to protect your brain health So;
