“Although a person's genes play a pivotal role in whether they develop diabetes, lifestyle factors—like diet, exercise, and body weight—influence their risk, too. A recent study found that lifestyle interventions reduce the risk of developing diabetes, especially among those at high genetic risk.”

“A recent study found that the age at which a person develops type 2 diabetes influences their risk of developing dementia, with obesity more than tripling risk, especially at younger ages. Researchers tracked more than 1,200 adults aged 50 and older who had diabetes but no dementia at the start of the study.”

“A recent study found that TBIs can reactivate dormant herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), driving neuroinflammation and contributing to the development of Alzheimer's. Researchers created a three-dimensional model of the human brain.”

“VO2 max is a complex, multifaceted parameter that reflects the intricate coordination between the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems during exercise, based on various factors ranging from cardiac output (which can differ considerably between trained athletes and weekend runners) to muscle oxygen extraction.”

“The study involved 191 middle-aged women. Participants completed a cycling test to gauge their cardiovascular fitness and underwent regular neuropsychiatric testing to determine if they developed dementia during their lifetime.”

“I'm particularly excited about this research because it confirms my 2014 publication where I proposed that vitamin D regulates serotonin, which is a brain morphogen that shapes the structure and wiring of the brain during early brain development, and that maternal vitamin D deficiency could disrupt fetal brain development and lead to autism.”

“Drinking your daily cup of coffee or tea might do more than give you a boost—it could lower your risk of developing multiple serious cardiometabolic conditions simultaneously, like diabetes, heart disease, or stroke.”

“Researchers developed three cell lines to mimic the natural process of embryonic development, during which cells differentiate (specialize) into dopamine-producing neurons. Then they cultured the cells in the presence or absence of vitamin D.”

“In addition, higher levels of caffeine and its principal metabolites (paraxanthine and theophylline) were associated with a lower risk of Parkinson's, even after considering other risk factors, such as smoking and alcohol use.”

“Nevertheless, vitamin D is essential for human health, and most people living in the U.S. have low vitamin D levels, potentially driving the growing number of Alzheimer's cases. Learn more about vitamin D's effects on the brain in this episode featuring Dr. Rhonda Patrick.”
