A Fat Stomach Sets the Stage for Cognitive Decline

A three decade study looked into the relationship between abdominal fat and the risk for developing dementia. The findings are not good news for any person with extra weight around the middle. It was revealed that the larger your waistline in your 40s, the greater the risk for developing dementia in later life.

Nutrients Stop Cognitive Decline

Researchers at the University of Massachusetts have demonstrated that a mixture of fine quality dietary supplements (ALC, DHA, PS, and Lipoic Acid) can stop oxidative damage in the brains of animals, the type of damage that otherwise leads to cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s.

Acetyl-l-Carnitine – Anti-Aging for Brain & Metabolism

Acetyl-l-Carnitine (ALC) is a special nutrient with a high-level ability to positively influence brain health, stress tolerance, and metabolism – especially of fat. Unlike plain l-carnitine (an amino acid), ALC is fat soluble and highly active in nerves, offering superior protection from stress and excitotoxic damage.

Type II Diabetes Linked to Poor Cognitive Function

Elevated blood sugar has a sugar-coating effect on healthy body structures, stiffening them and aging them faster. New research with humans shows a 150% increased risk for cognitive decline and 160% increased risk for dementia in patients with type II diabetes.

DHA Rejuvenates Aging Brain Cells

A new cell study sheds light on the importance of DHA for brain cell growth and rejuvenation. The study shows that DHA helps to turn on gene transcription factors for neural stem cells to grow. This data indicates how good nutrition can help to promote healthier brain function and offset the wear and tear of aging.

Thyroid Problems, Alzheimer’s, and Cognitive Decline

A significant body of science now links poor thyroid function and cognitive decline, including Alzheimer’s risk (doubling the risk for women). The information is proving interesting, and not what many would expect. In fact, taking thyroid hormone to help offset aging issues may make cognitive decline worse.

Mid-life Obesity Signals Late-life Memory & Cognitive Problems

There is a rather severe price to pay for doing things wrong when you still have a chance. Not only is being overweight an increased risk for cardiovascular problems and cancer, the wear and tear of it all also takes a serious toll on your brain.

Fighting an Infection Worsens Alzheimer’s

Scientists now show that an acute inflammatory challenge, such as fighting an infection, can significantly worsen the cognitive status in an Alzheimer’s patient. The underlying message of this study is a major wake up call for all middle-aged Americans.
