One of The World's Most Used Drugs May Lower Dementia Risk – But There's a Catch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of the most widely used drugs in the world could help reduce dementia risk when taken daily – but only for some. An analysis of a large randomized controlled trial, including more than 13,500 older adults in Australia and the US, has now found that taking daily aspirin is associated with a lower relative risk of dementia among people with certain genes. The study, published in Alzheimer's & Dementia, uses data from one of the largest placebo-controlled trials of aspirin use in healthy older
Science Says Who You Eat Dinner With Matters as Much as What's on Your Plate (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dinner by yourself can be a lonely affair. The lack of social connection could change the way that your body processes your meal. A new study published in Science Advances has now found evidence that eating with others could help your body balance your blood sugar levels. In experiments, 108 participants consumed just over 100 grams of white-wheat bread. For the following two hours, researchers tracked their glycemic response. In one scenario, participants ate the bread on their own. In another
Some Scientists Are Calling Alzheimer's 'Type 3 Diabetes' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You've probably heard of type 1 and type 2 diabetes, but did you know there's possibly a third option as well? For just over two decades now, some scientists have argued that type 3 diabetes is an apt title for what happens in some cases of Alzheimer's. Not all types of dementia are the same, but emerging evidence suggests that in at least some cases, impaired insulin signaling could be a form of neurodegeneration. This specific metabolic issue may starve some brain cells of the energy they need
Popular Joint Supplement Linked to 25% Higher Dementia Risk in People With Early Memory Loss (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Over the past two decades, the sale of dietary supplements has taken off. Today, it seems as though there's a pill for practically any ailment you can think of. While the benefits might seem hopeful, there's reason to tread cautiously. Some supplements can be costly and offer little to no benefits. A new study underlines the potential for harm. The preliminary analysis, published in Nature Metabolism, finds initial evidence that a popular supplement, taken by more than 40 million Americans, is a
Even Very Slow Running Can Benefit The Brain, Study Suggests (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some days it can be downright difficult to summon the energy to exercise. We've all been on that shuffling run before: the one where our feet are barely doing more than walking. It might feel futile at the time, but new research suggests that even jogs that require minimal effort are still worth it in the end. The study is the first to show that running, even at its slowest speed, is sufficient to induce a positive mood and to promote executive function in the brain's prefrontal cortex. This reg
