(Natural News) Eating chocolate before working out may amplify the beneficial effects of exercise on brain health, a Japanese study in the Nutrition journal has revealed. Teams of researchers from Ritsumeikan University, Japan Institute of Sports Sciences, and Tokyo Medical University have enrolled 10 healthy young men as part of the study. The participants were then […]

(Natural News) It’s something that happens to many people every day: you walk outside of the subway tunnel, look around, and instantly realize right where you are and head on your way. As simple as it sounds in theory, the mechanisms underlying this nearly-automatic act are so complex that scientists have long struggled to understand […]

(Natural News) Alzheimer’s disease has long been thought to completely erase an individual’s memories. The clumps of tau tangles and amyloid plaques that accumulate in the brain are believed to destroy the neurons associated with memory storage. That may no longer be the case, however, as demonstrated by a team of researchers from Columbia University. […]

(Natural News) Young, active men may greatly benefit from taking extracts from Ginkgo biloba leaves, according to a study published online in Nutrients.

(Natural News) Blueberries are miraculous natural medicine. If they were prescription medications, they would be called a “miracle” health breakthrough and an unprecedented milestone in medical science. Yet you can get them without a prescription, without a visit to the doctor and without “permission” from your health insurance provider. And unlike toxic prescription medications, blueberries […]

(Natural News) Eating avocados may help boost eye health, memory and attention, a study published in Nutrients revealed.

(Natural News) Drinking moderately in a social setting may improve short-term memory, says a scientific team from the University of Exeter. The researchers wrote on Scientific Reports that the overarching assumption that any form of alcohol intake is detrimental to health may need to be reconsidered. While excessive drinking is discouraged all throughout, social drinking […]

(Natural News) In the first study of its kind, a team of researchers has discovered a way to enhance or impair memory during sleep. By triggering specific brain waves, researchers from the Center for Cognition and Sociality in South Korea’s Institute for Basic Science were able to nearly double long-term memory. The compelling new study, […]
