Never Give Up—Fight Illness With Strength And Science
This article explains how your Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP)—a simple ratio from a standard cholesterol test—can serve as an early warning sign for cognitive decline and dementia, and provides a clear action plan to calculate and improve your score for better long-term brain health. 🎧 ▶️ Press the play button below to listen in…
Dementia risk is significantly influenced by cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). Those with low CRF face nearly three times the risk of dementia compared to fitter individuals. Exercise supports brain health by enhancing blood flow, reducing inflammation, and promoting waste clearance. Regular aerobic activity is crucial for maintaining cognitive function and preventing decline.
A 2025 Harvard study reveals that low doses of lithium orotate may reverse memory problems in Alzheimer’s mice by reducing amyloid buildup and tau tangles. While promising, researchers caution against self-medication until human trials confirm safety and efficacy, urging a focus on proven lifestyle strategies to mitigate dementia risk.
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive brain disorder causing memory loss and cognitive decline, with no cure available. Research reveals that nasal health, including issues like chronic rhinosinusitis, may impact Alzheimer’s progression. The enzyme nattokinase shows potential in improving nasal conditions, possibly reducing inflammation linked to brain degeneration and early detection methods.
A 2025 study in The Lancet reveals that Alzheimer’s disease risk factors can impact the brain as early as one’s late 20s and 30s. Conducted by Dr. Allison Aiello, it emphasizes that lifestyle choices, such as diet and physical activity, significantly affect cognitive health, urging preventive measures to start early.
This article discusses the methods on how to determine brain age.
This article discusses a new study that shows cell phone use and computer gaming can positively affect the brain.
This article discusses the alarmingly high possibility of Alzheimer’s disease in certain groups of people after a COVID-19 infection.
The proteins formed in the body have to be appropriately folded to be functional. If misfolded, they become prions, and they are not only defective but can also spread and accumulate to manifest as neurodegenerative diseases. A Lewy body is one type of prion. They are found in Lewy body dementia, the second most common…
In February 2022, Lancet published a paper that forecasted an almost three-fold increase in the number of people with dementia. From 57·4 million cases globally in 2019 to 152·8 million cases in 2050.[1] The Dementia Forecasting Collaborators authored the paper. They estimated that there were more women with dementia than men with dementia in 2019…
Chewing preserves learning ability and spatial memory to maintain brain health and prevent dementia There is a special relationship between chewing and brain functions. As people grow older, memory loss can happen. This is not only due to the passage of time but is related to the loss of teeth and subsequent chewing dysfunction. To…
This article is about how exercise stimulates the production of new brain cells, also known as neurogenesis. About 700 neurons are generated every day but that decrease as we age. Stress can hamper neurogenesis by the production of endogenous steroids. Lack of new brain cells can present as anxiety, depression, and later as neurodegenerative diseases…
