Understanding the importance of good blood circulation for brain health can help prevent the progression from mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer's disease. Learn how cardiovascular health impacts cognitive function.

Recent research reveals that omega-3 fatty acids may be crucial for maintaining a sharper, more resilient brain as we age. Discover the power of omega-3s!

Resveratrol, a compound found in grapes and red wine, activates SIRTs and has significant health benefits. It's a strong antioxidant, reduces inflammation, and can affect cellular pathways relating to cell death and survival (Moraes DS, et.al., 2020).

An interesting study suggests that maintaining high cardiovascular fitness in midlife could help decrease the risk of dementia in women. Researchers followed a population-based sample of 1,462 women between the ages of 38 and 60 for 44 years. Women with high fitness levels had a lower risk of developing all-cause...

This research examined the association between dietary magnesium intake and brain volumes (Alateeq K, et.al., 2023). The participants were between the ages of 40 and 73 years old. On average, higher baseline dietary magnesium intake was associated with larger brain volumes (gray matter; left hippocampus; and right hippocampus).   The...

In the following study the researchers investigated whether low vitamin D levels were associated with gray matter volumes, whole brain volumes and hippocampus volumes (Terock J, et.al., 2023). Structural MRI data and vitamin D levels were obtained for the 1,865 participants, and this was what they found. Vitamin D deficiency...

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder of the cortex and hippocampus, which leads to cognitive impairment if nothing is done to intervene. Many studies have shown that resveratrol has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties and can decrease the toxicity and aggregation of β-amyloid in the hippocampus of Alzheimer’s patients,...

In this study 266 participants with mild cognitive decline aged 70 years old or older were given the B vitamins folic acid, vitamin B6 and B12 or a placebo for 2 years (Oulhaj A, et.al., 2016). The researchers tested cognitive performance, used a clinical dementia rating scale, and tested the...

  This study examined the effects of green tea extract on working memory of women (Liu Y, et al. 2018). The researchers found that supplementation of decaffeinated green tea extract improved working memory capacity of women between 50 to 63 years of age. The researchers added that the study provided...

  Glutathione is a very effective antioxidant the body is making to protect us from free radical damage. The brain is especially vulnerable to oxidative stress since it is using a lot of oxygen. In this study the researchers investigated the glutathione levels of patients with Alzheimer’s disease, mild cognitive...

  There are several risk factors associated with the development of Alzheimer’s Disease. The researchers of the following study evaluated the effects of supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids alone or together with alpha lipoic acid, comparing them to a placebo on oxidative stress biomarkers in Alzheimer’s Disease (Shinto L, et.al.,...

  Results of this study indicate that folate deficiency or possible deficiency increases the risk for Alzheimer’s Disease, while sufficient intake of folate is a protective factor against Alzheimer’s (Zhang X, et al., 2021). The following researchers showed that high-dose of B-vitamin treatment (folic acid 0.8 mg, vitamin B6 20...

  Depending on the type of food, you can either get benefits like protection from memory loss, or you may increase your risk for memory loss. For the following study, the researchers investigated the Mediterranean-like diet and how it relates to cognitive function and biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease (Ballarino T,...

  The following research analyzed 243 observational studies and 153 randomized controlled trials to document ways to prevent Alzheimer’s disease (Yu GT, et al., 2020). The researchers found 10 suggestions with strong evidence. These were the areas: Education, cognitive activity, high body mass index in late life, high homocysteine levels,...

  Advanced glycation end-products are considered potent molecules capable of promoting neuronal cell death and participating in the development of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease (Bittencourt LS, et al., 2014). Advanced glycation end-products can be formed several ways. Elevated blood glucose can cause the glucose to react with protein...

  When researchers reviewed 21 studies on green tea and how it affected brain functions in humans, they found some interesting things (Manchini E, et al., 2017). The reviewed studies presented evidence that green tea influenced the reduction of anxiety. It also improved cognition as benefits in memory and attention....
