Supplementation with a drink containing omega-3, B-vitamins, phospholipids, choline for 24 weeks improved memory in people with Alzheimer's.'
“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.”
Learning and memory problems were reversed in aged mice after infusion with a protein found in human umbilical cord blood.
“When this protein was injected into old mice, it increased the activity of a group of genes that improved neuronal activity within the hippocampus and made it more able to adapt to new information.”
Link between diabetes & Alzheimer's disease made: 2x blood sugar increased brain plaques by 20% in young & 40% in old mice.
“FTA: > A unique connection between diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease has been uncovered by researchers, providing further evidence that a disease that robs people of their memories may be affected by elevated blood sugar.”
Brain aging was slowed by 10 years is people that were the most physically active compared to the least active group.
“The high active group (top 10%) reported activities like aerobics, calisthenics and running. Aerobic exercise has been shown to grow new brain cells and anaerobic exercise has been shown to increase the production of neurotransmitters and improve learning/memory.”
A new guideline for medical practitioners recommends twice-weekly exercise to people with mild cognitive impairment to improve memory and thinking.
“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.”
Older adults who used psychedelics exhibited better cognitive function and fewer depressive symptoms than non-users.
“Researchers assessed participants' executive function and episodic memory and enquired about their use of psychedelic drugs, including marijuana, LSD, or other hallucinogens (e.g., PCP, angel dust, peyote, ecstasy, mescaline, or Prozac), in the previous 12 months.”
