Is it possible to prevent or mitigate Alzheimer’s disease through supplementation? Researchers are looking at magnesium’s role in protecting the aging brain from the ravages of Alzheimer’s disease. A new, highly absorbent foam type of magnesium-L-threonate (MgT) concentrates in the brain and restores the types of brain deterioration found in Alzheimer’s disease and other types of memory loss. Experimental [...]

There is no cure for the degenerative brain disease called Alzheimer’s, and current conventional treatments have a limited effect. However, research into a drug used to treat skin cancer may show “stunning” potential to help with Alzheimer’s disease. The drug is called bexarotene. So far, the experiments have only been done on mice. The research was done [...] An article published online on June 2, 2010 in FASEB Journal reports the discovery of Temple University researchers of the benefit of a low methionine diet in slowing or reversing early to moderate stage Alzheimer’s disease in an animal model. Methionine is an essential amino acid that occurs in relatively high amounts in red meat, [...] Image via nih.gov Parlez-vous Français? A new study in the journal Neurology indicates that speaking a second language can help fend off the development of neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s. Research indicates that those who speak a foreign language are likely to be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s four years later than those who only [...] image via nih.gov While we often think of iron deficiency as a problem that causes anemia, researchers have found that excessive iron may increase one’s risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers publishing in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease state that some studies have found that accumulation of metals in the body, including copper, [...] image via www.epa.gov New studies are finding that Alzheimer’s Disease may be the result of the build up of β-amyloid peptides (Aβ) in the brain and green tea might be a good candidate for the clean up crew. A green tea extract that was particularly bioavailable (the body was capable of absobring its “good [...] image via www.cdc.gov Glaucoma refers to any condition that causes damage to the optic nerve, but its cause is generally unknown. Researchers in London are establishing a potential link between the development of glaucoma and the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. In both cases, the same “plaque” proteins are involved in the conditions’ development. [...] image by leafy It is well known that Alzheimer’s disease runs in families, but researchers have found that it may be inherited through the maternal genes. According to a study published in Biological Psychiatry the measure of a protein called amyloid is a marker for Alzheimer’s. Adult children of mother’s with the disease have [...] via blog.usa.gov We recommend that anyone interested in enjoying healthy eyes quit smoking because it has been linked to eye diseases including cataracts and macular degeneration. Here’s another reason to quit smoking: cigarettes increase your chance of developing Alzheimer’s disease by over 150%. Though researchers are not exactly certain of why smoking can lead [...] Image via swfsc.noaa.gov A study out of Sweden shows that people with diets rich in vitamin B12 are much less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease. Published in the journal Neurology, researchers describe how the risk of Alzheimer’s dropped by 2% for every micromole per liter of vitamin B12 found in the blood. However, they [...] |
