“They are used to treat a wide range of conditions, including respiratory disorders, Parkinson’s disease, dizziness, allergies, and incontinence, among others. The study included nearly 700 cognitively normal adults who were enrolled in the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative study.”

“Even so, the results point to the need for more cautious pesticide use and better strategies to protect communities facing the highest exposure levels. In this clip, I discuss a recent study suggesting that living near a golf course may increase the risk of Parkinson's disease due to pesticide exposure.”

“In older age, vitamin C's antioxidant capacity might be beneficial in decreasing the risk of neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington’s disease, and multiple sclerosis by reducing oxidative damage – a key driver of neurodegenerative disease.”

“Coffee consumption is popular worldwide and is associated with reduced risk of cancer, diabetes, and Parkinson’s disease. However, the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association recommend avoiding caffeine to reduce the risk of cardiac arrhythmias.”

“Capacity to synthesize dopamine varies from person to person; however, lower dopamine levels in key brain areas are associated with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), substance use disorders, and Parkinson’s disease.”

“Heat shock proteins ensure that the protein synthesis machinery inside your cells works appropriately. If these processes become disordered, the proteins can misfold and aggregate, forming clumps. Protein aggregation is a hallmark of many brain diseases, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.”

“Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease and results in a loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra brain region causing loss of motor control, balance, and other problems.”

“Brain: Microplastics have been found to cross the blood-brain barrier, which is meant to shield the brain from harmful substances. Once there, they activate microglial cells, triggering neuroinflammation that may contribute to diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.”

“Exercise silenced genes in sperm DNA involved in several diseases including schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease, cervical cancer, leukemia, and autism. In contrast, exercise activated genes involved in development and adaptation to exercise.”

“FTA: > New research suggests that signs of brain aging can be postponed in mice if placed on a high-fat diet. In the long term, this opens the possibility of treatment of children suffering from premature aging and patients with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.”
