-(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) Nigerians have been eating editan (Lasianthera africana) and utazi (Gongronema latifolium) for thousands of years. It turns out that these locally-available and popular vegetables are rich in natural alkaloids that support the healthy function of the brain and prevent the onset of neurodegenerative diseases. Plants synthesize alkaloids to repel herbivorous animals that graze on them. These phytochemicals often […]

A study published in the journal Immunologic Research suggests that aluminum accumulation in the brain increases the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and multiple sclerosis. Researchers at Keele University finds that participants who drink a […]

-(Natural News) Many of the protective alkaloids produced by plants demonstrate beneficial effects for humans when cooked and consumed as food. A Nigerian study investigated the neuroprotective activity of the phytochemicals in editan (Lasianthera africana) and utazi (Gongronema latifolium), two edible plants that are widely cultivated in Africa. Support for this study came from Federal University […]
