(Natural News) 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 […]

(Natural News) Researchers from the University of Regensburg in Germany recently reviewed the findings of preclinical studies and clinical trials which focused on the efficacy of ketogenic diets in treating Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Results from different trials suggested that ketogenic diets could halt the progression of AD by counteracting the impaired glucose uptake and metabolism that precedes […]

(Natural News) 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 […]

(Natural News) People with Alzheimer’s disease who use antiepileptic drugs are more likely to stay in hospitals for longer, according to a study published in the Journal of American Medical Directors Association. Researchers from the University of Eastern Finland found that those who took antiepileptic drugs added eight more hospital days to their stay. In the […]

(Natural News) 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 […]

(Natural News) Many people assume that dementia is a “normal” part of the aging process — but the truth is that memory loss and cognitive decline are not rites of passage in your golden years. Recent survey data from the Dementia Attitudes Monitor shows that over 20 percent of people in the United Kingdom believe […]

(Natural News) 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 […]

(Natural News) 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 […]

(Natural News) A recent study reported that people who consume large amounts of fructose are more likely to develop all kinds of diseases because the sweetener affects numerous genes in the brain. Fructose causes gene alterations that are linked to serious diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease and diabetes. However, the researchers from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) who conducted […]

(Natural News) One in every 10 Americans say they suffer from depression, at least occasionally. The World Health Organization predicts depression will be the second leading cause of disability and premature death starting next year. With so many Americans eating GMOs daily, it’s no wonder. These pesticide-laden foods affect cognition, neural impulses, hormones, and massive […]
