“The study involved 581 cognitively healthy older men living in China. Researchers assessed the men's cognitive function and measured their levels of testosterone and neurofilament light chain, a structural protein that maintains neuronal health and connectivity.”

“Dr. Patrick links hypertension with cardiovascular disease and dementia risk and emphasizes magnesium-rich foods within a DASH-style pattern, including leafy greens, legumes, nuts, and whole grains. A meta-analysis found modest average blood-pressure reductions with supplemental magnesium.”

“The authors of the study assessed the participants' progression from normal cognitive function to mild cognitive impairment over a 10-year period and noted rates of decline in memory, executive function, and language.”

“Furthermore, while a higher dose of exercise (i.e., 300 minutes per week) was best for improving waist circumference, that same wasn't true for body fat percentage, which was reduced the most (2.1%) at 150 minutes per week, and body fat mass, which was reduced the most (2 kg or 4.4 lb) at 100 minutes per week of exercise.”

“The study's authors attributed the lack of metabolic response to the relatively low dose and the study's short duration. Strawberries are rich in anthocyanins, a class of polyphenolic compounds that exert potent antidiabetic, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and anti-obesity effects in humans.”

“Although whole-body hyperthermia and sauna use share some similarities, whole-body hyperthermia sessions are typically longer (an hour or more) and the participant's head is spared (often kept cool with ice or cool cloths), prolonging the participant's tolerance to the intense heat.”

“Neurogenesis Whereas the early view of the mammalian central nervous system presumed that it was a static complex incapable of change, a growing body of evidence suggests that it retains its capacity for synaptic pruning – the process that eliminates extra neurons and synaptic connections and establishes new neural circuits to increase the efficiency of neuronal transmissions – throughout life.”

“Exercise–In All Forms—Reduces Depression and Anxiety For the latest study on exercise for depression and anxiety, researchers meta-analyzed a total of 26 randomized controlled trials that compared either aerobic exercise, resistance exercise, or combined training to a control intervention—usually a standard of care such as medication, CBT, counseling, or health education.”

“The most prominent clinical uses of psilocybin include addressing anxiety and depression, particularly in patients with life-threatening cancer diagnoses, where a single dose has been shown to produce rapid and sustained reductions in symptoms, lasting up to six months..”

“The first study—Effects of nicotinamide riboside on NAD+ levels, cognition, and symptom recovery in long‐COVID: a randomized controlled trial—was a single‐center, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled trial conducted from 2021–2023 with a placebo lead‐in design involving 58 long‐COVID participants randomized 2:1 to: NR‐NR: NR for 20 weeks (2 g/day).”
