“Those with moderate/increasing CRP levels were twice as likely to have poor processing speed. There were no significant associations between CRP levels and memory, verbal fluency, category fluency, or overall cognition.”

“Researchers analyzed the findings of studies investigating the effects of astaxanthin supplementation on fatigue, cognition, and exercise efficiency. The analysis included 11 randomized controlled trials involving 346 healthy participants.”

“FTA: > Something as easy as adding more spinach, kale, collards and mustard greens to your diet could help slow cognitive decline, according to new research. The study also examined the nutrients responsible for the effect, linking vitamin K consumption to slower cognitive decline for the first time.”

“The fact that both upper and lower body muscle strength but not handgrip strength was linked to better cognitive function suggests that handgrip strength may not be a good proxy to measure upper body strength.”

“The results indicated that being active within the previous 3.5 hours improved mental speed, equating to the cognitive function of someone four years younger. Both light and moderate-to-vigorous activities offered similar benefits.”

“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.”

“Aerobic exercise (3 days per week, 45 min per session) improved cognitive function in older adults at risk for Alzheimer's disease according to a meta-analysis of 19 randomized controlled trials. These data suggest that aerobic exercise training may be an effective modality of exercise to maximize cognitive health for older adults.”

“The most robust effect from this trial was the breaking apart amyloid beta plaques in the brain, but the cognitive benefits were preliminary and depended on the type of test used to measure cognition.”

“Using an aromatherapy diffuser, they exposed the enriched group to seven essential oil scents (rose, orange, eucalyptus, lemon, peppermint, rosemary, and lavender – one per night) for two hours per night for six months.”

“Still, the results suggest that creatine may help preserve some aspects of cognition during sleep loss even at 0.2 g/kg, although the effects appeared less pronounced than in earlier work from the same group using 0.35 g/kg.”
