“It is thought that people with Alzheimer's disease have problems using glucose as energy in the brain. The ketones provide neurons with an alternative form of energy and is one possible mechanism by which the modified ketogenic diet may improve brain function in people with early Alzheimer's disease.”

“Alzheimer's MR study; CHD MR Study. 00:15:56 - A special concept Dr. Epel refers to as the "exposome" which makes up the totality of non-genetic exposures that may influence telomere length and healthspan and can include everything from food, stressors, education and financial status, chemical exposures, and more.”

“Amyloid-beta is associated with Alzheimer's disease, a progressive neurodegenerative disease and the most common cause of dementia. Findings from a new study demonstrate that sulforaphane impairs BACE1, an enzyme involved in the production of amyloid-beta.”

“Adults that were subjected to sleep deprivation for 36 hours experienced a 50% increase in a protein called tau that is linked to neuronal cell death and Alzheimer's disease. It has previously been shown that a single night of poor-quality sleep raised levels of A-beta, another protein linked to Alzheimer's disease, by 30%.”

“Compared with earlier chronological-age clocks, PhenoAge better predicts mortality, healthspan, physical function, cancer risk, coronary heart disease risk, and Alzheimer's disease-related outcomes.”

“In previous work, the researchers showed that a pomegranate extract has anti-Alzheimer's effects in animals, but they did not identify the compounds responsible. [...] > Computational studies found that polyphenols could not cross the blood-brain barrier, but that urolithins could.”

“I published a paper last year on the important role DHA in phosphatidylcholine form plays in preventing Alzheimer's disease particularly in people genetically predisposed to the disease. This new study was an observational study so causation cannot be established.”

“> Previous studies by Dr. Mattson and his colleagues suggested that nerve cells in the brains of rodents on a meal-skipping diet are more resistant to dysfunction and death in experimental models of stroke and other neurological disorders including Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and Huntington's diseases.”

“If you have not already, check out my podcast with Dr. Jari Laukkannen, one of the world's leading sauna researchers. He gets into the specifics on his research on sauna use for the prevention of cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's disease.”

“Understanding this connection helps to clarify why insulin resistance is a common denominator of many chronic conditions, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, Alzheimer's disease, fatty liver disease, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).”
