“00:23:00 - The biomarkers, particularly hormones, that make up the “atrophic” subtype of Alzheimer’s disease, which Dr. Bredesen refers to as type 2 Alzheimer’s. *Note: Some of these signaling factors, namely BDNF, are not amenable to being assayed, but are produced robustly in response to exercise.”

“The team also measured cardiorespiratory fitness using peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak), and examined potential mediators at baseline and 12 months: body mass index, body fat and waist measures, blood pressure, and plasma brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF, a protein that helps support nerve cell health and communication).”

“And, although IGF-1 is best known for its role in muscle growth, it also works with brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF, to promote neurogenesis – the growth of new neurons in the brain.”

“1 02:37:05 - Mothers that chew xylitol gum starting mid-pregnancy and continuing until 6-12 months after birth lowered the oral streptococcus mutan bacteria, which is an anaerobic bacteria that plays a significant role in tooth decay, in their toddlers/children.”

“The brain's hippocampus is vital for memory and learning but tends to shrink with age, contributing to cognitive decline. A recent study found that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) improves hippocampal-dependent cognitive abilities in older adults better than other forms of exercise.”

“Previous research has shown that irisin may mediate some of the beneficial effects of exercise on the brain by stimulating the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a growth factor that increases neuroplasticity.”

“As caffeine blocks the actions of adenosine at these receptors, excessive inhibitory signaling—characteristic of Parkinson's diseases—is effectively reduced, while D2 dopamine receptor activity is enhanced. Additionally, coffee's polyphenols independently enhance brain health through improved blood flow, antioxidant activity, and boosting brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).”

“The mechanisms that drive this protective effect may be related to exercise's capacity to regulate key neurotransmitters, promote the release of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), ameliorate brain inflammation, and reduce oxidative stress.”

“00:06:55 - Humans begin losing brain mass during their 20s – as much as 20% by the age of 100. Study. 00:07:50 - 20 minutes of intense exercise can increase BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor.)”

“Vigorous Exercise and Brain Aging Lactate—produced at high levels during vigorous exercise—mediates some of the benefits of exercise on learning and memory through its effects on BDNF expression in neurons. BDNF is a type of neurotrophin (growth factor) that controls and promotes neurogenesis and neuroplasticity ([you can learn more about BDNF in my Cognitive Enhancement Blueprint).”
