💊 Knowingly taking a sugar pill can improve physical and mental health in older adults, reducing stress and boosting short-term memory as effectively as deceptive placebos.
🧠 Research published in the International Journal of Clinical and Health Psychology suggests open-label placebos (where patients know the pill is inactive) can activate the mind-body connection for healing without deception.
📊 A study involving 90 adults (ages 65-90) found that those who knowingly took sugar pills showed reduced stress and improved memory scores compared to a control group.
