(Natural News) Looking for a way to improve your mental skills in under an hour? Try a brain training game that uses neurofeedback to boost your neural connection, suggest Brazilian researchers. This was the main finding of a study led by the D’Or Institute for Research and Education (IDOR), which was published in the scientific journal NeuroImage. Neurofeedback is […]

(Natural News) Excessive accumulation of body fat has been associated with many adverse health effects like increased heart disease risk and Type 2 diabetes. Recent evidence suggests that it can also affect brain health. A study published in the journal Radiology found that higher levels of body fat can lead to lower brain volume or brain shrinkage. These findings add new […]

(Natural News) Evil corporations feed Americans like we’re all just rats in a big cage. How stupid we all are, they think. Even the so-called “healthy” stores are taking advantage of consumer ignorance. Big time. Just take a glance at the ingredients in the majority of processed foods at Whole Foods, Wegman’s, and Trader Joe’s, […]

(Natural News) One in three Americans have trouble sleeping, but a recent study has revealed that avoiding one habit can help improve it. European researchers found that avoiding the use of gadgets, like phones, tablets, and computers, is key to getting better sleep. Previous research has shown that exposure to blue light – the kind of […]

(Natural News) Heart failure leads to many complications, especially in the cardiovascular system, but research suggests it could also lead to mental health problems. Heart failure patients often suffer from depression and cognitive impairment, and researchers from Canada have uncovered why these problems occur. Their findings were published in the journal Scientific Reports. Researchers from the […]

(Natural News) Numerous studies show that the brain can repair and renew nervous tissue. People may support these natural processes by eating sulforaphane-rich foods like broccoli. Neuroscience experts previously believed that the brain cannot repair damaged neurons. However, a study conducted by MIT researcher Joseph Altman in the 1960s showed that the brains of adult rats, adult guinea pigs, […]

(Natural News) Scientists have long believed that bidirectional communication exists between the gut and the brain. In fact, evidence suggesting that the gut microbiota — the diverse community of microbes living in the human gut — interacts with the central nervous system (CNS) and influences brain function has increased over the years. Recent studies even propose that this […]

(Natural News) Running is a wonderful aerobic exercise that offers numerous health benefits. It can reduce stress, strengthen the bones, help burn calories, and improve heart health. Running can be done indoors (on a treadmill) or outdoors — depending on a person’s preference — and each comes with its own advantages and disadvantages. If you […]

(Natural News) People are living in dangerous times – that much is a given. But what people don’t know is that these “dangers” are already closeby, chief of which are poor diet and lifestyle choices. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, in fact, identifies the two as primary drivers for chronic illnesses, which include heart disease, cancer, […]

(Natural News) The brain starts developing at conception and continues to grow until a person turns 21 years old – or so it was long believed. But brain growth doesn’t stop at that age. You can create new brain cells as you age, but only if you maintain an optimal environment for neurogenesis. Neurogenesis is […]
