As people enter midlife, brain changes and stress can make names harder to recall. Smartphones may worsen executive function, but memory can improve by reducing screen time, creating mental friction with devices, and using techniques like listening, repeating, and forming associations when meeting people. Sleep, exercise, and brain-challenging activities help too, all while adopting a forgiving attitude toward forgetfulness.
A study shows that daily consumption of unsalted, skin-roasted peanuts can increase brain blood flow and improve memory in older adults, likely due to nutrients like L-arginine, antioxidants, and healthy fats, though further research is needed to confirm long-term effects.
Scientists at Cedars-Sinai developed lab-created young immune cells from human stem cells that reversed signs of aging and Alzheimer's in mice, showing potential for future human therapies to improve brain health and memory.
A 10-week study shows that mental exercises can increase acetylcholine levels in the brain of older adults, potentially reversing age-related decline in decision-making and memory functions, similar to effects seen in early Alzheimer's treatments.
Consuming half a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil with warm water daily may improve memory and reduce the risk of dementia, thanks to its healthy fats and polyphenols that support brain health and reduce oxidative stress. Regular intake, especially on an empty stomach, can be beneficial, but individuals should consider personal health conditions and consult a doctor if on blood thinners.
A study suggests that increasing dietary fiber, especially inulin, may help restore gut-immune balance, support the gut-brain axis, and potentially reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease, though human trials are needed.
A study in Nature Aging found that suppressing the brain protein Ftl-1 in mice can reverse age-related memory decline by restoring neuronal structure and energy metabolism, suggesting potential therapeutic targets for cognitive aging in humans.
The article highlights six everyday foods—eggs, berries, fatty fish, nuts and seeds, leafy greens, and whole grains—that can enhance children's memory and focus by providing essential nutrients like choline, antioxidants, omega-3s, vitamins, and slow-releasing glucose, with practical tips on how to incorporate them into meals.
A clinical trial found that a standardized ashwagandha extract containing Sominone improved memory and cognitive functions in people with mild cognitive impairment over two months, with no significant side effects, suggesting potential neuroprotective benefits, though larger and longer studies are needed.
The article discusses 10 effective brain exercises that can help enhance memory and overall cognitive function, emphasizing the importance of mental fitness for maintaining brain health.
The article provides nine science-backed tips to maintain a sharp brain and enhance memory, emphasizing lifestyle changes and mental exercises to boost cognitive function.
A study from the University of Copenhagen reveals that urolithin A, a compound found in pomegranates, strawberries, and walnuts, can improve memory and potentially treat Alzheimer's disease symptoms by removing damaged mitochondria from the brain. While the research has shown promising results in mouse models, human clinical trials are planned to determine the effective dosage and potential preventive benefits.
A study from the University of Copenhagen reveals that urolithin A, a compound found in pomegranates, can improve memory and potentially treat Alzheimer's disease by removing damaged mitochondria from the brain. Researchers are working to determine the optimal dosage for this promising natural treatment.
Neuroscientist Rachelle Summers shares five lifestyle tweaks to improve memory and stimulate the brain, including getting 8-10 hours of sleep, engaging in aerobic exercise, practicing mindfulness, participating in brain-boosting activities like learning a new language or instrument, and actively retrieving information from memory without using external aids. These habits can potentially reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, which is on the rise.
Neuroscientist Rachelle Summers shares five lifestyle tweaks to improve memory, including getting 8-10 hours of sleep, engaging in aerobic exercise, practicing mindfulness, participating in brain-boosting activities, and working on memory retrieval without using Google. These habits can stimulate the brain, promote the growth of new neural connections, and potentially reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
