Numerous studies have shown the health benefits of a time-restricted diet, including an increase in lifespan. But how this exactly affects the body at the molecular level, and how these changes interact across multiple organ systems, is not yet fully understood. Salk scientists have been able to show in studies how time-restricted eating affects gene […]
Generation of New Neurons in the Brain As a Strategy Against Neurodegenerative Diseases
Some areas of the adult brain contain dormant or dormant neural stem cells that can potentially be reactivated to form new neurons. However, the transition from quiescence to proliferation is still poorly understood. A team led by scientists from the Universities of Geneva (UNIGE) and Lausanne (UNIL) has discovered the importance of cellular metabolism in […]
Research Shows that HIIT Training Protects the Brain and May Delay Alzheimer’s
As we age, our cognitive abilities decline. While some people remain mentally fit into old age, others suffer from severe memory impairments. Accounting for around two thirds of all cases, Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia, which is associated with a loss of cognitive abilities. According to recent research, as little as six […]
How Poor Sleep Ages You
It seems that the more we learn about sleep, the more we realize just how tightly entwined sleep quality is with overall health and well-being. For example, it is during deep sleep that cell repair, tissue growth and immune-system-strengthening processes take places, along with other essential maintenance tasks, such as the flushing of toxins from […]
Sleeping More Than Eight Hours, Early Bedtime Linked to Dementia
Dementia has become a common cognitive health issue throughout the world. Today, there are about 55 million people with dementia and, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), there are approximately 10 million new cases reported each year. Dementia is ranked by the WHO as the seventh leading cause of death worldwide. Researchers have been […]
