Berries for Brain Anti-Aging
Research scientists at the United States Department of Agriculture continue to blaze a scientific path explaining how berries can protect your brain from aging. In their new study they show that berries activate the natural house-cleaning process within your brain so damage does not accumulate and lead to cognitive decline.Read More: anthocyanins, antioxidants, Blackberries, Blueberries, brain anti-aging, strawberries
Berries for Brain Protection
Blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, etc. – America is a berry rich country. These wonder foods are well known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties due for the most part to the substances that give them color, polyphenols, or more specifically anthocyanins. A new array of emerging gene science is demonstrating that the protective effects of these nutrients to your brain go far beyond their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and are intimately involved with the genes that regulate the natural defense systems in your brain.Read More: BDNF, Blackberries, Blueberries, brain anti-aging, brain inflammation, glial cells, neuro protection, strawberries
The Autophagy Theory of Life Extension
It’s a fairly simple idea – take out the trash or die a cluttered death. Researchers are now heavily pursuing the link between compromised trash removal and shorter life. Or said another way, between improved processes of autophagy and extended life.Read More: anti-aging, autophagy, Blackberries, Blueberries, Curcumin, Resveratrol, strawberries
Strawberries Boost Antioxidant & Anti-inflammatory Status of Blood
The colorful pigments of berries (polyphenols) are known to have antioxidant activity. Two new human strawberry studies prove that these antioxidants are well absorbed into your body and exert significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits within your circulation, thereby helping your blood and arteries have less stress and be healthierRead More: anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, CRP, IL6, insulin, red blood cells, strawberries
Fisetin Lowers Advanced Glycation End Products & Offsets Diabetic Complications
Fisetin is a polyphenol found in small amounts in strawberries and is available as a concentrated and standardized extract for use in dietary supplements. Researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have demonstrated for the first time that fisetin activates an enzyme (glyoxalase 1) that helps to remove advanced glycation end products (AGEs) which otherwise cause tissue damage and accelerated aging. AGEs work by caramelizing/cementing healthy tissues. The higher blood sugar levels of diabetics makes them especially at risk for AGEs damage, as reflected by the HA1C test (which measures AGEs accumulating in red blood cells). It is AGEs, not blood sugars per se, that cause kidney damage, heart damage, and eyesight damage in diabetics, leading to the severe health complications associated with the progression of poor health. While fisetin does not regulate blood sugar levels, it does clear out AGEs damage and prevent complications to the kidneys. This major finding is of interest to anyone and diabetics in particular.Read More: AGEs, diabetics, fisetin, kidneys, strawberries
