A diet containing compounds found in green tea and carrots reversed Alzheimer’s-like symptoms in mice genetically programmed to develop the disease, USC researchers say.
A new study conducted over 38 years linked two personality traits to an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
With the explosion of Alzheimer’s Disease and cognitive decline (memory impairment), are you concerned about yours? Here’s a new study that indicates eating more of a certain group of veggies can protect your memory.
Can changing your diet, reduce your risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease?
When we think of preventing and/or reducing one’s risk of developing Alzheimer’s, exercise, diabetes, depression, diet, and family genetics are the normal factors that come to mind. Could something as seemingly simple as prayer affect one’s risk of developing this dreaded disease?
A new study reported in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease reported positive outcomes for a combination of three nutrients in the prevention of Alzheimer’s in older individuals.
A new study reported in the American Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease and Other Dementias conducted by researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, the University of Maryland and the University of Kentucky, found …
Here’s another reason to eat chocolate, and it’s a good one! A new study found that substances found in the cocoa plant, known as cocoa flavanols reversed age-related memory decline in healthy older adults.
New research determined that Curcumin, the yellow pigment of turmeric (Curcuma longa), may provide significant benefit in preventing telomere shortening and may actually promote elongation of telomeres.
Although telomeres shorten with each cell division, dividing cells express telomerase, a protein complex that synthesizes and elongates telomeres. Researchers sought to determine if Curcumin could increase telomerase expression and thereby help preserve telomere length. To test their hypothesis, they chose to look at its effects on telomerase expression in brain cells exposed to beta-amyloid, a primary source of oxidative damage and brain cell death linked to Alzheimer’s.
