For a lot of kids, playing football is part of growing up in America...
The longer they play the more hits they’ll be taking - and according to University of Missouri researchers, that can have a big impact on the way they age. They say former football players endure more late-life cognitive difficulties and worse physical and mental health than other former athletes and non-athletes.
The study found that former players with high-fat diets suffered the most. Pam Hinton, associate professor of nutrition, says by adopting a low-fat and balanced diet, even years after they’ve hung up the cleats, former footballers can intercept a significant amount of that accelerated aging.
