“In particular, they found that exercise remodels enhancer activity in skeletal muscle that are linked to cognitive abilities, which opens for the identification of exercise training-induced secreted muscle factors targeting the brain. Publication.”

“It has been shown that 20-40 minutes of aerobic exercise causes a 30% increase in serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in healthy men. As little as 15 minutes of aerobic exercise can increase BDNF albeit to a lesser extent.”

“Kale supplementation increased heat shock proteins, lowered oxidative damage, and suppressed cognitive decline by improving spatial and learning memory in mice with a premature aging phenotype. I've talked quite a bit about heat shock proteins which are robustly activated by heat stress (ie.”

“Current public health guidelines recommend that children between the ages of two and 19 years limit their intake of added sugars to less than 10 percent of their total daily calories – roughly 12 teaspoons per day.”

“Higher blood pressure, elevated blood lipids, ischemic heart disease, smoking history, and fewer years of education were each associated with a faster increase in WMH, suggesting a link to vascular health.”

“From the article: > "We have identified a specific signal that is generated in visceral fat, released into the blood that gets through the blood brain barrier and into the brain where it activates microglia and impairs cognition."”

“Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to be very safe even when used in relatively high doses, and except for gastrointestinal symptoms like fishy eructation, they are free of clinically relevant adverse effects.”

“The authors note that difficulty chewing may lessen brain stimulation, decrease blood flow to areas involved in memory and thinking, and affect diet quality, while poor oral health can also discourage social interaction, all of which may influence long-term brain health.”

“The formation of tau tangles is an early event in the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative disorders, including Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease. The authors of the study fed mice either a normal diet or a high salt diet for four to 36 weeks.”

“Findings from a recent study in mice found that PF4, an exerkine derived from platelets, promotes the production of hippocampal precursor cells in the brains of older mice. Researchers injected PF4 into mice and assessed its effects on hippocampal neurogenesis (the growth of new brain cells).”
