“The drink is called, "souvenaid" and it was formulated to provide EPA, DHA, B vitamins, antioxidants (vitamins C and E, selenium), choline and uridine monophosphate in a specific combination that is intended to improve synaptic dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease.”

“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.”

“These benefits extended to the degenerating hippocampus where short-term memory is processed, one of the first regions of the brain to suffer damage in Alzheimer's disease. [...] > "In this series of studies, we have shown that BDNF targets the cortical cells themselves, preventing their death, stimulating their function, and improving learning and memory.”

“This review explores the hypothesis that fructose metabolism promotes the development of Alzheimer's disease, possibly accounting for many of the disease's early features, such as mitochondrial dysfunction and neuroinflammation.”

“The bacteria that cause gum disease (gingivitis) was found in the brains of 96% of people with Alzheimer's disease and was associated with worse disease pathology. Animal studies showed the bacteria play a role in more rapid disease progression and blocking the bacteria from entering the brain slowed the neurodegeneration.”

“There were also some detrimental side effects that happen in some people given very high doses of the antibody, which need to be understood before this immunotherapy can be considered a treatment for Alzheimer's disease.”

“A recent study found that TBIs can reactivate dormant herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), driving neuroinflammation and contributing to the development of Alzheimer's. Researchers created a three-dimensional model of the human brain.”

“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.”

“Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal lobar degeneration are characterized by the abnormal buildup of tau, a protein that damages brain cells and drives cognitive decline.”

“Six minutes of vigorous exercise increased brain levels of BDNF – a protein that may protect against Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative conditions – as much as five times more than light exercise, a new study has found.”
