A recent study published in the Journal of Nutrition suggests that eating just one egg per week could significantly lower the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers found that people who consumed eggs regularly had nearly a 50% reduced risk of cognitive decline compared to those who rarely ate them. The findings highlight the potential protective role of nutrients such …

A recent study by the University of South Australia reveals a significant link between vitamin D deficiency and an increased risk of dementia and stroke. Analyzing data from the UK Biobank, researchers found that low vitamin D levels are associated with lower brain volumes. Dementia is one of the leading causes of disability, reduced life quality, and dependency among older …

Cherries are more than a summer treat—they may also support brain health when processed the right way. New peer-reviewed research from the University of Kent reports that turning waste cherries into a pulp powder concentrates antioxidants such as anthocyanins and quercetin that, in laboratory models, protect against amyloid-β (Aβ) toxicity, a key process implicated in Alzheimer’s disease. Notably, the study …

A new study reveals that a combination of nicotinamide and epigallocatechin gallate, found in green tea, can rejuvenate aging brain cells. The treatment restores energy levels and clears harmful protein buildup linked to Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers observed improved brain cell function and reduced oxidative stress in treated neurons, offering a potential nonpharmaceutical approach to cognitive decline. Imagine decluttering your brain. …

A recent study reveals a concerning link between long-term exposure to air pollution and an increased risk of dementia, including Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia. Researchers found a statistically significant association between pollutants like PM2.5, nitrogen dioxide, and soot, and a higher incidence of dementia. This silent threat is around us. It’s not invisible, but yet overlooked. And the destruction it …

Right now, over 6 million people in the United States are living with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias. As the population ages, that number is expected to nearly double by 2050. While there’s still no cure, scientists are uncovering powerful ways to slow down cognitive decline—and one of the most promising discoveries just came out. Lifestyle changes that really work …

A global study reveals a significant delay in dementia diagnosis, averaging 3.5 years after initial symptoms and even longer for early-onset cases. This delay is attributed to factors like symptom misinterpretation, stigma, and healthcare system inefficiencies. Experts emphasize the need for increased public awareness, improved clinician training, and accessible support to expedite diagnosis and improve patient outcomes. 57 million people …

In the ongoing quest to tackle a brain-altering disease such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a new hope might have surfaced in a humble medicinal mushroom known for its cognitive benefits—Hericium Erinaceus, also called the Lion’s mane. A recent study sheds light on this mushroom’s therapeutic potential, revealing that its polysaccharide-enriched extract may significantly alleviate symptoms of AD and protect nerve …

Research indicates that prolonged sedentary behavior, even with regular exercise, elevates the risk of brain shrinkage and cognitive decline, particularly in older adults. The study, tracking participants over seven years, revealed a link between increased sitting time and neurodegenerative changes, irrespective of physical activity levels. Sitting is the new smoking. Prolonged sitting isn’t just bad for your heart; it could …

Neuroscientist Robert Love warns about the rising cases of Alzheimer’s disease due to toxins present in everyday household items. Air fresheners release harmful VOCs, while scented candles emit toluene, affecting the nervous system. Non-stick skillets, especially Teflon-coated ones, can leach fluoride compounds into food, posing risks to brain and overall health. Around 57 million people were diagnosed with dementia worldwide …
