Exercise linked to a decreased likelihood of age-related dementia and memory loss
The findings of a recent animal study may offer new hope to millions of people who have Alzheimer’s disease. The Harvard-led effort reports that physical exercise could improve the condition of the brains of mice with dementia. The study shows that working out made it possible for new neurons to grow in the hippocampus, the region […]

An oxygen-starved brain loses memories: Researchers discover link between sleep apnea, memory problems and depression
Australian researchers found that patients suffering from sleep apnea find it hard to recall specific details of memories taken from their own experiences. Furthermore, the inability to remember important parts of their lives could cause them to develop depression. Obstructive sleep apnea is a sleeping disorder wherein the person experiences difficulties breathing during sleep. Around […]

Can a hysterectomy (the surgical removal of the uterus) negatively affect brain function?
The surgical removal of any organ is bound to cause a lot of health problems. It goes double if the body part is integral to the body of a person, such as the uterus of a woman. So it is not surprising – but still appalling – to learn about the connection between surgical hysterectomy and higher risks of memory loss. A hysterectomy is a surgical operation that removes a […]

Could hibernating animals help us treat Alzheimer’s? Scientists say yes
The cute hamsters found in most pet stores and many children’s bedrooms may harbor the key to treating Alzheimer’s disease. Spanish researchers investigated the ability of the golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) to get rid of harmful protein structures that appear in its brain during hibernation – structures that happen to be associated with Alzheimer’s and other age-related […]

Get moving, your brain needs it – study
Physical exercise is not just good for building up muscles and endurance. Studies show that working out also improves your brain in many ways. Many of the positive effects of exercise also extend to the brain. For example, physical activity speeds up the heart rate to deliver more oxygen throughout the body. The brain is one of […]

Study reveals link between what you eat and brain function: Following a healthy diet can lower your risk of Alzheimer’s
The findings of a new study suggest that a person should pay extra attention to what he or she eats, but for a different reason. Iowa-based researchers discovered a connection between the levels of a satiety hormone found in the brain and the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Satiety is the feeling of fullness and the absence of hunger for a […]

Discover how MCT oil boosts memory and brain health
Natural health experts are excited about the brain-boosting benefits of medium-chain triglycerides (MCT). These fatty acids support healthy heart functions, protect against disease-causing bacteria, and regulate inflammation. Studies suggest that MCT oil could alleviate dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and other conditions affecting brain functions. MCT oil is from coconut oil, which contains considerable amounts of a healthy fatty acid called lauric acid. But […]

Not getting enough sleep accelerates brain damage linked to Alzheimer’s disease, warn researchers
Recent experiments show that lack of sleep increases the amount of tau protein in the brain. Tau is associated with Alzheimer’s disease, and it spreads across the brain at a much faster rate if a person suffers from sleeplessness. When tau proteins clump together to form tangles, they injure nearby tissues in the brain. If allowed to accumulate, these […]

Alarming study finds that Alzheimer’s impairs the brain by 30 years or more BEFORE symptoms get diagnosed
Contrary to conventional knowledge, Alzheimer’s disease does not start months or years before its effects on the brain became visible enough for healthcare providers to notice. Instead, the neurodegenerative disease starts many decades before its symptoms become apparent. Alzheimer’s is usually diagnosed in older people who are in their 70s or 80s. However, the brains of those patients […]

OTC sleeping pills linked to increased risk of dementia, say researchers
Over-the-counter (OTC) sleeping pills are supposed to help people overcome problems with sleeping caused by the aging of the brain and associated loss of neurons. However, researchers warned that these pharmaceutical drugs can aggravate brain degeneration that leads to dementia. The most prominent of the sleeping pills are the anticholinergics. These drugs are prescribed for all […]
