Dementia is a growing global health challenge that takes a significant toll on both individuals and society. With no cure yet available, finding ways to slow its progression or reduce the risk of developing it is critical for supporting healthy aging. Now, new research points to weight training as a potential way to help protect the brain from dementia.
Adequate sleep is crucial for overall health. Insufficient sleep often leads to heightened cognitive deficits. A recent study reveals that older adults with insomnia face a higher risk of memory decline and long-term cognitive impairments, which can lead to dementia. The study utilized a large dataset and primarily focused on sleep disorders.
A new brain imaging study indicates that ultra-processed food consumption increases hunger and overeating resulting in weight gain. This is concerning and sparks worries that these widespread products may fundamentally reshape our eating patterns. This may be a result of altered brain structure by changing neural pathways.
The gut and brain communicate through a network known as the gut-brain axis. This is a system of physical and biochemical connections that allows them to influence each other’s function and overall health. Emerging research indicates that regularly consuming vegetable oils may negatively impact both gut and brain health. The word “vegetable” on a label often signals something healthy, but that’s not always the case with oils and fats.
As a person ages, the brain gradually shrinks, losing about 5% of its volume per decade after age 40, impacting its functionality. In a pioneering study, neuroscientists investigated how regular aerobic exercise affects the hippocampus, the brain region responsible for memory.
A new study at the University of Exeter has discovered another good reason to live a healthy lifestyle! The research found that in people with a high genetic risk for developing dementia the risk was 32 percent lower if they followed a healthy lifestyle.
As we age brain stiffness increases which leads to stem cell dysfunction. New research has demonstrated new ways to reverse this aging process in older stem cells into a younger and healthier state
A new study conducted at the University of California, Irvine, has found that online brain game exercises can help people in their 70’s and 80’s multitask cognitively even as well as people 50 years younger! This valuable tool, gives older adults the ability to handle today’s daily onslaught of information which can be very taxing for seniors.
Two new studies have explored the relationship between cognitive decline and oral health and also perceived social support and stress among older Chinese Americans. Two Rutgers studies found evidence that there is a key relationship between poor oral health and cognitive aspects such as executive function and memory.
