A recent British study investigated brain changes in people aged between 51 and 81, caused by COVID-19.
According to a recent study, selenium (with the highest concentrations in Brazil nuts) could increase neuron generation, and boost learning and memory in aging brain.
It all comes down to aspartame. It is widely used in more than 6.000 foods, starting from sugar-free soft drinks and desserts and ending up with medications, such as cough drops and gummy vitamins to add a touch of sweetness to it. You can recognize aspartame by food additive number E951.
According to a recent study, even short-term exposure to air pollution negatively influences our brain performance and capacity to work.
So far, there is no progress in finding a treatment of Alzheimer’s. Almost all potential current treaments aim to dissolve amyloid plaques in the brain. The researchers of a recent study have chosen a dinstinct way of fighting the disease. They aimed at a different form of the amyloid-beta, its truncated form and developed both […]
I think you’ll agree, that the easiest and quickest way to get some extra energy is to grab a product with caffeine in it. Usually, it is either a cup of espresso (0.21% of caffeine), black tea (0.02% of caffeine) or hot chocolate with 85% of cacao in it (2.34% of caffeine). But did you […]
According to a recent small study, the longer and higher exposure to estrogen in middle-aged women, the larger their gray matter volume and the lower their risk of developing Alzheimer’s.
The main reason why a Western diet is bad for our health is that it stimulates oxidative stress. A recent study showed that this oxidative stress increases inflammation, which “switches off” the expression of the peptide NaKtide in fat cells (adipocytes), causing systemic inflammation through the signaling Na,K-ATPase pathway. This leads to changes in the […]
According to a recent study, only 4 weeks eating highly processed food (such as snacks, frozen ready-to-go dishes as pasta and pizza, and variety of meat sausages) causes a strong inflammation in the brain of older rats, leading to memory loss. Interestingly, neuroinflammation and memory problems were not seen in young adult rats that ate […]
A recent study seems to find a way to stop the forming of new toxic plaques in the brain. The researchers used hyperbaric oxygen therapy first on a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease and then on people with Alzheimer’s to see whether the therapy can halt or slow the disease progression.
