Probiotics May Improve Cognitive Function And Boost Your Mood!

Probiotics can do more than improve your gut health. They also may indirectly enhance your brain, too.

Research shows that the gut and brain are connected, a partnership called the gut-brain axis. The two are linked through biochemical signaling between the nervous system in the digestive tract, called the enteric nervous system, and the central nervous system, which includes the brain. The primary information connection between the brain and gut is the vagus nerve, the longest nerve in the body. Read more...

Change from High-Fat to Low-Fat Diet Reverses Diet Associated Cognitive Decline and Metabolic Syndrome!

 

One of the consequences of a long-term high fat diet is metabolic syndrome and a decline in cognitive function.  A dietary change from a high-fat to a low-fat diet can reverse these conditions.

Decline of Cognitive Function Possible from Organochlorine Exposure Later in Life!



Recent studies show the potential for exposure to organochlorines pesticides to have an impact on the cognitive decline later in life. The author suggested that more studies need to be done to identify whether there is a link between exposure to organochlorines and dementia.
