Phytochemical in apple peels found to boost brain health
A study found that a phytochemical in apple peels promotes the growth of new neurons. This is an important finding because the human brain becomes more susceptible to various health problems with age. The elderly are susceptible to Alzheimer’s disease, a debilitating condition that can eventually turn a loved one into a stranger. Alzheimer’s can make you […]

The song in your head: The brain can recognize familiar songs in just 300 milliseconds
The ability to recall a popular song is exemplified on “name that tune” game shows where contestants have to identify a snippet of music in just a few seconds. But British and Japanese researchers say that humans may actually do better than that: The brain only takes as little as one-tenth of a second to recognize a familiar tune. The finding, published in […]

Study: Coconut oil-enriched Mediterranean diet found to improve brain function in Alzheimer’s patients
Spanish researchers believe that a Mediterranean diet enriched with coconut oil can help improve cognitive function in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients. AD is one of the most common types of dementia, accounting for around 60 to 70 percent of cases. This percentage increases dramatically with age. The disease is a progressive and irreversible brain disorder that slowly impairs […]

Omega-3 deficiency linked to common age-related illnesses such as cancer, depression and heart disease
Omega-3 fatty acids are a family of healthy polyunsaturated fats with numerous health benefits. These fats are important for the maintenance of healthy cell membranes and contribute to the production of hormones that regulate blood clotting, inflammation and the contraction and relaxation of artery walls. Two of the most important types of omega-3 fatty acids are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). […]

Animal study reveals cadmium exposure and Alzheimer’s risk gene may be linked to cognitive impairment
Researchers at the University of Washington found that cadmium exposure, combined with a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer’s disease, might accelerate cognitive decline. The researchers arrived at this finding after exposing mice with an Alzheimer’s risk gene to cadmium. They detailed their findings in a paper published in the journal Toxicological Sciences. The effects of cadmium plus an Alzheimer’s risk gene The […]

Study: Supplementing with omega-3s found to promote brain health in patients with coronary heart disease
Coronary heart disease is the most common form of heart disease in the United States. It occurs when plaque builds up inside the walls of the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart. Because plaque buildup reduces blood flow to the brain, many researchers consider coronary heart disease as a risk factor for dementia. Therefore, it is […]

Study: Lithium microdosing may benefit patients in later stages of Alzheimer’s disease
As it turns out, even microdoses of lithium can help stave off Alzheimer’s. A recent study found that concentrations of lithium hundreds of times lower than what doctors usually prescribe for psychiatric conditions such as bipolar disorder can benefit those in the later stages of Alzheimer’s disease. According to Claudio Cuello of the Department of Pharmacology […]

Study: Walking slowly may be a sign of “accelerated aging” and that you’re more likely to get sick later in life
Slow walkers, beware: You may be more prone to developing serious illnesses later in life. This is according to a team of researchers, who found that 45-year-olds with a naturally slow pace when walking have bodies that exhibit signs of accelerated aging. These signs included impaired immune function and unhealthy lungs and teeth. Even worse was that […]

Study: Lithium treatments found to stabilize the memory of patients with Alzheimer’s disease
Researchers from Brazil are suggesting that lithium could potentially halt the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. In a study published in the journal Current Alzheimer Research, they wrote that the memory of Alzheimer’s patients stabilized after taking small doses of lithium. The team also reported that lithium was able to slow down the aging of brain cells. While research is still ongoing, they […]
