Folic Acid and DHA for Cognitive Function and Alzheimer’s

New research is explaining the importance of folic acid and DHA for improved cognitive function and prevention of neuro-degeneration. Folic acid is found to lower the brain and cardiovascular irritant, homocysteine. It directly improves brain function and helps to raise the levels of DHA in the blood. DHA is known to help generate new nerve growth, improve nerve transmission and connectivity, enhance nerve-related memory factors, and reduce brain inflammation.

Is Running Essential for Survival (and good sex)?

For the first time the release of endorphins from the human brain in response to a two-hour run has been proven. The theory of the runner’s high has been around for quite a while but never proven in a scientific lab. In the current experiment sophisticated brain PET scans were taken before and after running. The evidence showed release of endorphins from specific brain regions known to process pain. It could very well be that running is ingrained in our genetics at a core level of survival...

Acetyl-L-Carnitine Enhances Longevity

Scientists have given the name vitagenes to a group of longevity genes that enable your body to deal with stress and still maintain natural balance. As it turns out, Acetyl-l-carnitine is a potent activator of these vitagenes.

Carnosine Helps Prevent Kidney Damage from Diabetes

Carnosine is not only a potent antioxidant, but it is also known to reduce adverse glycation formation from high blood sugar. In a new study it was found that carnosine prevented kidney cells from multiplying in an unfavorable way when in response to high blood sugar, even preventing some of the adverse effects high blood sugar causes the kidneys.

Carnosine Offsets Liver Aging

A new animal study shows that supplemental carnosine significantly reduces the free radical damage in the liver that typically occurs in older rats. Free radical damage to cells is of course a common theme involved with aging. Carnosine has received a lot of attention for its age-associated antioxidant properties.

Carnosine May Help Prevent and Reverse Cataracts

Cataracts occur when the structural proteins of the lens of your eyes begin to form tangles. This occurs over time from some form of stress, such as exposure to sunlight (along with not enough antioxidants to keep up with the free radical damage). A new study with animal lenses shows that carnosine not only reduces the formation of these cataract-forming tangles, it can actually clear them up!

Immunometabolism: The New Frontier

Every now and then rather jaw-dropping research is published, as is the case this week as the journal Nature Medicine published three groundbreaking articles linking the function of immune cells to obesity and diabetes – data which opens the door to solving all kinds of health problems including the obesity issue itself, inefficient immune response to the flu in overweight individuals, as well as obesity-related autoimmune problems.

Can Carnosine Help Shaky Nerves & Memory?

Carnosine is an antioxidant that is highly concentrated in your brain, heart, and muscles. A new study shows that it becomes depleted during brain aging, especially in regions of your brain associated with memory problems (hippocampus) and nerve tremors (substantia nigra).
