Broadcaster Jeremy Vine provided food for thought after saying he tries to prevent the onset of dementia by listening to songs he hates.

Speaking on the How to be 60 podcast, Vine said he was inspired to change his music habits after one of his friends osaid they were training their left hand to write in a bid to ward off dementia.

According to Alzheimer’s Research UK, there are 944,000 people currently living with Dementia in the UK, that figure is expected to rise to 1.1 million by 2030.
