“Some of the mechanisms that drive the beneficial effects of exercise on the brain include increases in brain volume and connectivity, improved blood flow, enhanced synaptic plasticity, and increased neurogenesis – the formation of new neurons.”

“A new study found that Kundalini yoga – a type of yoga that involves specific postures, breathing techniques, and meditation – boosted cognition and memory in older women at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.”

“There is so much to say when we talk about the NRF2 pathway and isothiocyanates like sulforaphane that we had to pack it into 47 minutes and break it into a few key sections. Key sections: For a more in-depth breakdown click the timeline link at the top of this page!”

“Researchers in the field of aging have posited several theories to explain how and why the body ages. One of these theories, the somatic mutation theory of aging, is based on the idea that DNA damage accumulates over time – the result of day-to-day living and oxidative stress.”

“Emerging evidence suggests that COVID-19, the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, elicits a wide range of cardiovascular-related complications, including myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle), ventricular failure, myocardial infarction (heart attack), and others.”

“More than half of people living in the United States likely have magnesium deficiency These findings suggest that magnesium protects the brain against age-related volume losses, which are associated with dementia.”

“Scientists monitored the brain activity of 30 healthy adults practicing unilateral nostril breathing (UNB). Participants breathed through a CPAP-like device (like those used by people with sleep apnea) that delivered pressurized air through one nostril with greater force than the other.”

“Current exercise guidelines recommend that adults engage in at least 150 to 300 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity or 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity (or an equivalent combination of the two) weekly to promote cardiovascular health.”

“The imaging revealed that participants who ate a ketogenic diet showed reduced neural activity related to alcohol cravings than those who ate the standard American diet across the entire three weeks of treatment. Those who ate a ketogenic diet also reported fewer perceived cravings.”

“The brain's prefrontal cortex is crucial in working memory, showing sustained activity during memory-guided behavior. A recent study in mice found that aging reduces the prefrontal cortex's ability to maintain working memory, with older mice showing less effective communication between memory-coding neurons.”
