“However, this study accounted for other factors that may affect brain health including seafood and alcohol consumption, smoking, high blood pressure, obesity, education level and amount of physical and cognitive activities.”

“The sauna use was 15 minutes at 170 - 180°F (76.67 - 82.22°C) and was done prior to the high-intensity workout. For more about the effect of sauna use on performance and muscle check out my video on "hyperthermic conditioning."”

“25 minutes of non-invasive electrical brain stimulation was able to improve working memory by restoring electrical activity between two brain regions (prefrontal and temporal) in elderly people. The memory improvements lasted an hour after the treatment and matched the performance of younger participants.”

“The data revealed that the participants who drank the cocoa beverage showed marked improvement in their walking performance, increasing their walking distance by nearly 43 meters immediately after consumption of the beverage and by nearly 18 meters 24 hours afterward.”

“The researchers measured flow mediated dilation at multiple time points. After comparing the post-meal flow mediated dilation following a full night of sleep and a full night of sleep plus exercise, the authors found that exercise improved arterial function.”

“However, brain-injured mice that received the amino acids exhibited higher amino acid concentrations in their brains and better performance on cognitive tests. These findings suggest that branched chain amino acids restore aspects of brain neurochemistry and ameliorate cognitive losses after TBI.”

“While on the placebo treatment, participants’ willingness to expend cognitive effort increased as their baseline dopamine synthesis capacity increased. Notably, while performance on the working memory task decreased with difficulty, there was no relationship between task performance and dopamine levels.”

“The biomarkers included inflammatory and hormone-related blood measures, physical function tests, cognitive performance, blood pressure, and DunedinPACE, an epigenetic score that uses chemical tags on DNA measured in blood to estimate the pace of biological aging.”

“Researchers measured chair-stand performance as the main outcome, along with other measures of physical function and quality of life, C-reactive protein (CRP, a marker of inflammation), epigenetic age measures (estimates of biological age based on chemical tags on DNA), routine safety blood tests, and adverse events.”

“Living in places with exposure to very fine air pollutant particles doubled dementia risk in older women, poor performance on memory tests was found in 19,000 retired nurses for every additional 10μg/m3 of polluted air they breathed, MRI scans reveal more brain atrophy in people that live close to the highway in a dose-dependent manner in more than one study.”
