“The women provided information about their reproductive histories, such as when they began menstruating, how many pregnancies they had, when they experienced menopause, and whether they had used hormonal contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy.”

“Adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus was significantly increased by aerobic exercise while resistance training had no effect on neurogenesis but did improve strength in rats. Since both cognitive decline and frailty (decrease in strength) occur with age it may be good to engage in both aerobic and strength training.”

“Together, these findings support attention to sleep, fiber-rich foods, meal order, physical activity, and overall diet quality while recognizing that a single CGM response is personal data rather than a universal ranking of a food.”

“Pooled intervention data suggest that about 1.5 to 2 grams of combined EPA and DHA per day can raise the Omega-3 Index in many adults over several months, although individual responses vary.”

“FTA: > Although three months of CPAP therapy produced only limited improvements to damaged brain structures, 12 months of CPAP therapy led to an almost complete reversal of white matter abnormalities. Treatment also produced significant improvements in nearly all cognitive tests, mood, alertness and quality of life.”

“00:34:40 - Repeated traumatic brain injury has cumulative neuroinflammatory effects in the brain over years, including amyloid-beta plaque and tau tangle formation. Study. 00:44:00 - A variant of the APOE gene increases risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease as much as 15-fold.”

“Poor dietary quality in early life (i.e., consuming excess sugar) negatively impacts the composition of the gut microbiota and impairs cognitive functioning; however, the mechanisms that drive these changes are unclear.”

“The participants' body composition, cognitive function, blood leukocytes (white blood cells), and variables such as age, education level, and socioeconomic status were measured every other year for a period of six years.”

“Evidence suggests that carriers of the Met allele (Met/Met or Val/Met genotype) have reduced hippocampal function, poor episodic memory, and decreased exercise-induced secretion of BDNF.”

“A recent study found that multiple health factors—including hypertension, diabetes, smoking, and low educational attainment—may speed up brain aging, increasing the risk of cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases.”
