Revolutionising Treatment: Stem Cell Therapy For Neurodegenerative Disorders
Reading Time: 14 minutes. In the relentless march of time, our bodies often bear the brunt, and our brains are not exempt from this harsh reality. Neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Multiple Sclerosis tragically rob individuals of their memories, motor skills, and, ultimately, their independence. Traditional treatments have offered modest relief but fall…
Breaking The Silence: Women and Cognitive Decline
Reading Time: 13 minutes. Cognitive decline, a subtle process often accompanying natural ageing, is a topic of interest and concern for researchers and the general public. Despite advances in understanding the factors contributing to cognitive decline and potential interventions to mitigate its effects, there is still a significant knowledge gap when it comes to addressing…
Clearing The Fog: Managing Brain Health During Menopause
Reading Time: 14 minutes. Menopause is a natural biological process that affects women as they age, marking the end of menstrual cycles and fertility. This transition can significantly affect cognitive functioning, characterised by mental changes and physical symptoms. It is important for individuals going through menopause to understand the potential impact on their brain health…
Restoring Balance: Hormone Replacement Therapy And Cognition
Reading Time: 13 minutes. Hormones, the silent catalysts of numerous bodily functions, have long been recognised for their role in growth, metabolism, and mood regulation. However, ‘silent’ is a bit of an anachronism here, as hormones do indeed communicate. They carry messages between cells and organs, helping to maintain the body’s equilibrium. They are integral…
Nurturing Brain Health: Mitochondria, Free Radicals, and Antioxidants
Reading Time: 5 minutes. Nurturing brain health involves optimising mitochondrial function, combating free radicals, and leveraging antioxidants. Mitochondria is vital for ATP production and integral to neuronal activity. With their unpaired electrons, free radicals induce oxidative stress, undermining mitochondrial efficiency and neurological integrity. Antioxidants, found in fruits, vegetables, and nuts, counteract oxidative damage, preserving neuronal…
Klotho: The Key to Unlocking Brain Health
Reading Time: 5 minutes. I’ve discovered that Klotho, a protein composed of roughly 1000 amino acids, is pivotal for brain health. Synthesised in the kidney and brain, its conformation relies on K1 and K2 domains. Ageing and stress can reduce its production, but ideal levels greatly enhance cognitive functions. In mice, overexpressing Klotho improves memory…
Exercise Unveils Surprising Connection to Dementia
Reading Time: 4 minutes. I’ve discovered a surprising relationship between exercise and dementia risk reduction. Regular physical activity promotes neurogenesis, enhances blood flow, and reduces inflammation, which is critical for brain health. Exercise stimulates brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) production, boosting hippocampal volume and memory. It also enhances synaptic plasticity and cognitive function, particularly in the…
The Path to Longevity: Fitness, Well-Being, and Active Ageing
Reading Time: 5 minutes. To achieve longevity, focus on a routine that intertwines regular exercise, mental well-being, and active engagement. Physical activity improves muscle mass, reduces chronic disease risk, and enhances brain health and cognitive function. Practises like yoga and tai chi boost mental resilience and reduce stress. Fitness programmes for older adults cater to…
