Brains of young people exposed to dirty air show signs consistent with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s
It’s no secret that air pollution can damage the lungs and the heart. But new research suggests that exposure to polluted air can trigger neurodegeneration as well. In a study published in the journal Environmental Research, an international team of researchers described how they found tiny air pollution particles lodged in the brain stems of […]

The bush apple tree found to have neuroprotective properties that could be used as an intervention against neurodegenerative diseases
A person’s brain health declines as he ages. In particular, neurons — building blocks of the nervous system — die or become damaged. As a result, his risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease increases. Fortunately, he can protect himself from neurodegenerative diseases with the help of natural medicines like the bush apple […]

The mechanics of why exercise is good for brain health, memory
An international study presented further evidence that irisin protects neurons in the brain from degeneration. It showed that the so-called “exercise-induced hormone” can improve memory in humans and mice. First identified in 2012 by researchers from the Harvard Medical School, irisin is a messenger hormone that helps convert white fat into brown fat, which produces heat. It was named […]

PQQ is effective in combating neurodegeneration that can affect the aging brain
Maintaining brain health through the aging process is a top concern these days. Alzheimer’s disease is estimated to affect one out of every three senior citizens, and is currently the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. But there are many ways in which a person can reduce their risk of neurodegeneration as […]

Calcium imbalance in the brain linked to Alzheimer’s
According to research published early in 2017, calcium in the mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cell), could be “one of the keys to understanding and treating Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.” A group of scientists at the Center for Translational Medicine at Temple University has revealed that they determined how “an imbalance of calcium ions in the mitochondria […]

Researchers may have found a link between Alzheimer’s disease and a common class of herbicides
Researchers from France have uncovered what just might be one of the most overlooked causes of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia that most people have probably never even considered: Crop chemicals. A recent paper published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease takes a closer look at this apparent connection, revealing that a class of herbicides known […]
