“Findings from a recent study suggest that COVID-19 causes long-term gray matter losses in areas of the brain involved in taste, smell, and memory. COVID-19 affects multiple organ systems and elicits a wide range of flu-like symptoms, including cough and fatigue.”

“As we age, choline levels increase in the brain and this is linked to cognitive impairment and loss of brain function. Aerobic exercise appears to stop choline levels from increasing too much and boosts brain power by increasing markers of neuronal energy reserve.”

“These deficits have been attributed to peripheral nerve damage that commonly occurs with the condition. Findings from a new study suggest that changes in brain blood use contribute to sensory and motor deficits associated with type 2 diabetes.”

“A recent study in mice found that glyphosate and its primary metabolite, aminomethylphosphonic acid, persist in brain tissue for months after exposure, potentially contributing to neurodegenerative changes.”

“The glymphatic system is a series of vessels that surround the brain and use cerebral spinal fluid to push out toxic waste products that build up in the brain. It also promotes distribution of several compounds, including glucose, lipids, amino acids, growth factors, and neuromodulators in the brain.”

“The findings from this study suggest that having higher blood concentrations of omega-3s in mid-life preserves brain health and promotes aspects of cognitive function. Learn more about the Omega-3 Index in this clip featuring Dr. Bill Harris.”

“They found that the HIIT group experienced marked improvements in hippocampal function. HIIT also reduced age-related brain volume loss, particularly in the hippocampus, and strengthened the connections between critical brain networks.”

“They administered the vesicles via nasal spray to three-month-old Alzheimer’s model mice. Then, they tracked the vesicles' interaction with brain cells, focusing on microglia and astrocytes, and analyzed gene activity, brain pathology, and behavioral changes.”

“FTA: > Brain health is the second most important component in maintaining a healthy lifestyle according to a 2014 AARP study. As people age they can experience a range of cognitive issues from decreased critical thinking to dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers write about eight nutrients that may help keep your brain in good shape.”

“If you're struggling to remember things, a robust workout might help. Scientists have discovered that exercise can increase levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that supports learning and memory.”
