“Looking at individuals’ neurological diagnoses, the researchers found that while drinking two to four cups of coffee was associated with lower odds of developing dementia compared to drinking no coffee or exclusively decaffeinated coffee, consuming more than six cups of caffeinated coffee per day markedly increased those odds.”

“The authors of the study tested the participants' blood for the presence of antibodies to the spike protein (the primary infectious particle of the SARS-CoV-2 virus) as well as other viral particles at the time of enrollment and at subsequent follow-up visits.”

“Most children develop emotional regulation during the preschool years of two to five years of age, coinciding with frontal lobe development. Emotional dysregulation is characterized by heightened impulsivity and sudden changes in mood or feelings.”

“The gut microbiome influences the development of social skills later in life, a recent study in fish has found. Fish that have delayed microbiome development show distinct differences in their brain structure and behavior compared to those with appropriately timed development.”

“These findings suggest that dietary and supplemental omega-3 fatty acids intake may have beneficial effects on infant brain development. Link to study abstract.”

“However, components of a mother's diet during lactation can counter the beneficial aspects of breastfeeding. Findings from a recent study suggest that sugar intake during lactation impairs cognitive development in breastfed infants.”

“These findings highlight the pivotal role of serotonin receptors in modulating the growth and plasticity of dendritic spines, underscoring their importance in the serotonin-driven development of the prefrontal cortex. Learn how vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids influence serotonin levels and brain development in this open-access article coauthored by Dr. Rhonda Patrick.”

“Sure, those dates on the calendar pass at the same rate for everybody, but some people appear to age slower (or faster) than others – with vastly different age-related physical changes and disease risks.”

“Approximately half of the participants were randomly assigned to receive 400 IU of vitamin D and 500 milligrams of calcium carbonate twice a day for a year if their serum vitamin D level was lower than 20 ng/ml – a level considered deficient.”
