Can Pantethine Help Repair the Brain?

French scientists have just reported that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) can initiate the repair of brain networks that have been damaged. This finding has far-ranging implications for mood, cognitive function, and recovery from significant problems involving the loss of neurological function such as a stroke.

Regular Aerobics Decreases Appetite, Boosts Brain

Researchers documented that a potent brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) was significantly boosted by 3 months of aerobic exercise – and the higher its level the less a person wants to eat and the greater their weight loss. This is the first time BDNF levels have been linked to appetite suppression – a significant finding.

The New Frontier – Brain Anti-Aging with Nutrition

The molecular wonder tools of modern day science are not leading to powerful new drug discoveries, rather they are uncovering the exact details of how nutrition manages your genes to improve your health. A case in point is all of the evidence showing that nutrients are the most powerful brain boosters known to mankind – and contain no serious adverse side effects like virtually every “blockbuster” brain med on the market today.

Exercise Can Help Preserve Your Mind

There is an epidemic of early onset cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease in the American public, a public health catastrophe that will only be getting worse as the wave of baby boomers enters their 60s. A new study indicates there is a simple way for you to prevent this problem – exercise.

Pot Smoking, BDNF, and Addiction

Smoking pot may feel good for a while, but new science shows that it lays waste to your nervous system. Researchers found that pot smokers are depleting their levels of BDNF, one of the single most important substances for brain health.
