(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 […]

Researchers from Stanford University noted […]

(Natural News) Being diagnosed with a neurodegenerative disease is akin to receiving a death sentence for most people. Barring the fact that many of these diseases are incurable, they also cause progressive degeneration and even death in brain neurons, which can’t be replaced by the body once they die or are damaged. Among these conditions, […]

(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 […]
