New research makes a molecular connection between the brain and aging—and shows that overactive neurons can shorten life span.
New research suggests gut bacteria may be linked to high blood pressure and depression
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 5, 2019 — A study of bacteria in the gut identified differences between people with high blood pressure compared to those with high blood pressure plus depression, according to preliminary research presented at the American Heart Association’s Hypertension 2019 Scientific Sessions.
High-fat diets affect your brain, not just your physical appearance
Much research has pointed to how an unhealthy diet correlates to obesity, but has not explored how diet can bring about neurological changes in the brain. A recent Yale study has discovered that high-fat diets contribute to irregularities in the hypothalamus region of the brain, which regulates body weight homeostasis and metabolism.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for Alzheimer’s disease
The authors report the case of a 58-year-old female who had experienced five years of cognitive decline, which began accelerating rapidly. Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) suggested Alzheimer’s disease. The diagnosis was confirmed by 18Fluorodeoxyglucose (18FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) brain imaging, which revealed global and typical metabolic deficits in Alzheimer’s.
How to Detox Heavy Metals to Help End Exhaustion and Chronic Fatigue
By Dr. Mercola
Detoxification is an important aspect of optimal health, but can be quite confusing, not to mention risky if done incorrectly. Wendy Myers, a functional diagnostic nutritionist, founder of MyersDetox.com and author of “Limitless Energy: How to Detox Toxic Metals to End Exhaustion and Chronic Fatigue,” is a treasure trove of information on this topic.
Why Your Gut Microbes Love Intermittent Fasting
Did you know that most of the cells that make up your body aren’t human at all? Some of them are microbial… and when you fast with the LIFE Fasting Tracker app, they fast too.
Los Muchos Beneficios para la Salud del Aceite TCM
Por el Dr. Mercola
Los triglicéridos de cadena media (TCM) se han vuelto cada vez más populares a medida que las personas conocen más sobre los beneficios para la salud de la cetosis nutricional, que se logra al reemplazar los carbohidratos netos (total de carbohidratos menos la fibra) con cantidades grandes de grasas saludables y cantidades moderadas de proteína de alta calidad.
Common Food Additives Could Have ‘Lifelong’ Health Consequences, Pediatrician Group Warns
The American Academy of Pediatrics is warning of the dangers of common additives found in foods and packaging. In a policy statement and accompanying report released Monday, the professional medical organization bluntly declared that many additives could have disastrous effects on health, especially for children. It also called for a dramatic overhaul in how the federal government regulates these ubiquitous chemicals.
Leg Exercise is Critical to Brain and Nervous System Health
Groundbreaking research shows that neurological health depends as much on signals sent by the body’s large, leg muscles to the brain as it does on directives from the brain to the muscles. Published today in Frontiers in Neuroscience, the study fundamentally alters brain and nervous system medicine — giving doctors new clues as to why patients with motor neuron disease, multiple sclerosis, spinal muscular atrophy and other neurological diseases often rapidly decline when their movement becomes limited.
