“Overall, the findings suggest that regular blueberry intake could support memory and language in older adults at risk for further decline. However, differences in supplement type, dose, and participant characteristics across studies introduce uncertainty.”

“Their offspring demonstrated better motor coordination, better learning and memory, less anxiety, and greater stress resilience than mice whose mothers were not supplemented. The improvements in learning were attributed to increased levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the mothers' milk.”

“Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, altered sleep, memory, and mood. An intervention study involving 67 patients with fibromyalgia who received whole-body hyperthermia treatment either once or twice a week versus standard therapy for three weeks demonstrated that one treatment per week reduced the participants' pain and improved quality of life.”

“While some studies indicate that eggs maintain cognitive health, others report the converse. A recent study found that eating eggs may help women preserve semantic memory—crucial for language comprehension and factual recall—as they age.”

“The hippocampus, a small organ within the brain's medial temporal lobe, is critical for memory, learning, and spatial navigation. The loss of hippocampal neurogenesis (the formation of new neurons) is an early indicator of Alzheimer's disease.”

“People that engaged in 15 minutes of aerobic exercise immediately after learning a new motor skill improved consolidation of motor memory and performed better than those that did not exercise. (But only after sleeping first.)”

“A recent study in mice found that sulforaphane, a bioactive compound derived from broccoli and broccoli sprouts, boosts memory, improves mitochondrial function, and reduces oxidative stress. Researchers studied normal mice and mice prone to developing a condition similar to Alzheimer's.”

“A robust and growing body of evidence indicates that lifestyle influences the risk of developing dementia. A recent study found that multivitamin/mineral supplements improve memory and slow cognitive aging in older adults – roughly equivalent to reducing cognitive aging by two years.”

“A recent study found that strawberry consumption improved memory and mood in overweight people with mild cognitive decline. Researchers recruited 34 overweight middle-aged adults with insulin resistance who reported mild cognitive decline.”

“Another recent review of randomized controlled trials found that people generally had enhancements in working memory performance and improved visual information processing after eating cocoa flavanols.”
