“Moreover, changes in cfDNA levels and epigenetics hold promise for improving the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of neurological disorders, including traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer's disease, and multiple sclerosis.”

“People with untreated type 2 diabetes developed Alzheimer's disease 1.6x faster and had more tau protein in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) compared to people without diabetes. Tau tangles accumulate inside neurons and can disrupt many functions.”

“FTA: > MGST3 that regulates the size of the hippocampus in both mouse and human, which is linked to a group of neurodegenerative diseases. [...] There is already the 'reserve hypothesis' that a person with a bigger hippocampus will have more of it to lose before the symptoms of Alzheimer's are spotted.”

“The study involved 63 older women who had self-reported memory problems and cerebrovascular conditions – risk factors for Alzheimer's. About half the women participated in a weekly yoga session, while the other half participated in weekly memory training.”

“A growing body of evidence, however, suggests that a ketogenic diet, which is low in carbohydrates and rich in protein, fiber, and healthy fats, contributes to overall health and may be beneficial in preventing many chronic diseases, including Alzheimer's disease.”

“Diet plays a key role in the prevention of Alzheimer's disease. The Ketoflex 12/3 diet, a form of time-restrictive eating that limits the period during which a person eats to a 12-hour window at least three hours before bedtime, promotes the production of ketones.”

“Higher levels of vitamin D have also been associated with lower odds of dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI), better cognitive function, a reduction in Alzheimer's disease risk, and larger total brain, gray matter, and hippocampal volumes.”

“Mitophagy is tightly coupled with mitochondrial biogenesis, the process by which new mitochondria are produced. Failures in mitophagy are associated with several chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and Alzheimer’s disease.”

“Protein misfolding in the brain is a central player in both aging and Alzheimer's disease, driving toxic protein buildup and brain cell dysfunction. However, evidence indicates that ketones—a critical brain fuel produced during fasting or exercise—may help reduce or prevent this damage.”

“Leaky gut has been linked with a number of chronic diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease and cardiovascular disease. But overnight fasting during time-restricted eating provides the gut time to heal, preventing leaky gut.”
