  "summary": "A groundbreaking study by UCLA Health highlights the intriguing link between gut bacteria and brain ageing in healthy adults. Analyzing brain scans and gut health of nearly 1,500 participants, researchers identified a correlation between the Brain Ageing Index and certain gut microbes. This suggests that optimizing gut health may be pivotal for preserving cognitive function and offers an early…",
