“FTA: > People diagnosed with diabetes in midlife are more likely to experience significant memory and cognitive problems during the next 20 years than those with healthy blood sugar levels, new research suggests. The study is believed to be the longest of its kind following a cross-section of adults as they age.”

“Due to the low quantities of ellagic acid in foods and the poor conversion rate, achieving a human dose comparable to that used in this study likely would require supplemental intake.”

“The HIIT regimen involved five days of exercise per week—three days in which they engaged in high-intensity intervals lasting four minutes each, and two days of moderate-intensity treadmill walking for 45 minutes.”

“They also improved cognitive function. In addition to fish oil, people were also given vitamin D, pomegranate, chokeberry, and resveratrol.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses leafy greens, blueberries, and omega-3s for micronutrients, cognition, mood, and healthy aging.

“Researchers reviewed 40 studies (primarily long-term observational research) that tracked seafood consumption during pregnancy and children's developmental outcomes, including behavior, social-emotional skills, and cognitive abilities.”

“Scientists have long known that severe B12 deficiency can cause neurological problems, but the exact threshold for deficiency-related damage remains unclear. A recent study found that older adults with B12 levels in the lower end of the normal range showed signs of neurological dysfunction.”

“Other studies have shown that gut bacteria are able to modulate the levels of GABA, norepinephrine, serotonin, dopamine, and acetylcholine through the gut-brain axis. I spoke with the gut experts, Drs.”

“A recent study in rats found that low-speed uphill exercise raises blood lactate levels, increasing lactate and BDNF in key brain regions involved in cognition. Researchers divided rats into three groups: One remained inactive, another walked on a flat treadmill, and a third walked uphill at a 40% incline.”

“A non-invasive treatment of light and sound to increase brain waves known as gamma oscillations led to improvements in cognition and memory and a dramatic reduction in amyloid beta plaques in mice. Interestingly, some forms of meditation also increase gamma waves, particularly in advanced meditators.”
