“Even before diabetes develops, higher fasting glucose has been associated with faster cortical thinning in brain regions involved in memory, emotion, and executive function. This makes glucose regulation relevant to long-term brain health as well as metabolic health.”

“But it might also cause brain volume. Studies have shown in an association of even high normal fasting blood glucose associated with losses in the hippocampus and the amygdala, areas involved in memory and cognition. In other words, healthy people without diabetes.”

“Dr. Krauss explains how some people might be inappropriately prescribed statins while other people should be taking statins. In addition, his current research is investigating whether statins can increase the risk of diabetes, especially for women.”

“Moringa is a tropical plant that exerts a wide range of beneficial health effects. A growing body of evidence indicates that moringin, an isothiocyanate compound derived from moringa, may help prevent or even treat a variety of chronic health conditions, including cancer, diabetes, and autism. In this clip, Dr. Jed Fahey discusses the beneficial health effects of moringa.”

“A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that people with type 2 diabetes have an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Convincing animal data and preliminary research in patients with early cognitive decline have shown positive outcomes using strategies to overcome insulin resistance.”

“Sugar-sweetened beverages have long been implicated in weight gain and nutrition-related diseases such as diabetes. But the effects of liquid sugar extend to longevity, as well. In fact, consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages is associated with dramatically accelerated telomere shortening – equivalent to as much as five years of a person's life.”

“He also references studies showing that interval walking can outperform continuous walking, improving cardiorespiratory fitness, body composition, and blood sugar regulation in people with type 2 diabetes.”

“Longitudinal studies showed that people with type 2 diabetes taking metformin lived 15 percent longer than healthy controls not taking the drug. This raises the question as to whether the longevity benefits of metformin may extend to healthy people.”

“When mice consume a diet that is high in fat and sugar, they tend to develop metabolic diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, much like humans who eat a similar diet.”

“They also experienced mild to moderate increases in risk for conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, stroke, and Alzheimer's disease. These effects were more pronounced in men than in women.”
