CAN THE SMELL OF FOOD MAKE YOU FAT?

According to a new study, your sense of smell could be responsible for weight gain. Using mice, researchers noticed that those who lost their sense of smell also lost weight, while those mice with a super sense of smell gained more weight on a high fat diet than mice with a regular sense of smell. Findings suggest odor may play an important role in calorie burning processes; if you can’t smell your food, you may burn it rather than store it. READ MORE…

BRAIN SWITCH TELLS BODY TO BURN FAT AFTER A MEAL

Researchers report the brain’s ability to sense insulin and coordinate feeding with energy expenditure is controlled by a mechanism that is turned on after fasting to inhibit insulin response and conserve energy. After feeding, the mechanism is turned off to facilitate insulin response and expend energy. However, in obese people, researchers believe the switch may stay on all the time.  READ MORE…

RISK FOR BIPOLAR DISORDER ASSOCIATED WITH FASTER AGING

A new study in Neuropsychopharmacology reveals an association between faster aging and bipolar depression. Researchers discovered those with bipolar disorder who did not take lithum had shorter telomere length than those with the disorder who took the medication. The study suggests reduced telomere length could reduce hippocampal neurogenesis, increasing the risk for mood disorders. READ MORE…

HIGH-FAT DIET IN PREGNANCY CAN CAUSE MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS IN OFFSPRING

Mothers who eat high fat diets during pregnancy could be elevating the risk of future depression and anxiety symptoms for their children, a new study in Frontiers in Endocrinology reports. High fat diets may impair the development of the central serotonin system, researchers discovered. Further studies noted that introducing a healthy diet to the offspring at an early age did not reverse the effect. READ MORE…

1 IN 3 CASES OF DEMENTIA ARE PREVENTABLE

Researchers have identified nine risk factors during different stages in life that may increase a person’s likelihood of developing dementia. At least 35% of dementia cases, researchers say, may be directly linked to these risk factors. By taking steps to reduce risks and by improving education, it is estimated that the incidence of dementia can be reduced by as much as 20%. READ MORE…

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE AND DEMENTIA?

A common misconception is that Alzheimer’s disease and dementia are the same thing. Alzheimer’s disease is simply one form of dementia. Researchers from Texas A&M describe how Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia impact the lives of both patients and their families, and provide new insights into minimizing the risks of developing neurodegenerative conditions. READ MORE…

BRAIN CELLS THAT CONTROL APPETITE IDENTIFIED

Recent findings from University of Warwick researchers could help find new treatments to control eating habits that lead to obesity. Researchers discovered tanycytes detect amino acids from food and directly ‘tell’ the brain when we feel full. Certain food, such as chicken, lentils and avocados, activate tanycytes and make us feel fuller quicker. READ MORE…

AN INTERNAL FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH: WHY THESE AMISH LIVE LONGER AND HEALTHIER

Researchers have identified a genetic mutation in an extended Amish family that allow them to live 10 percent longer and have 10 percent longer telomeres than other Amish kindred members who do not have the mutation. People with this mutation also have a lower diabetes risk and lower vascular aging, researchers note. READ MORE…

BRAIN ACTIVITY MAY EXPLAIN DIABETICS’ NEGATIVE FEELINGS AND INCREASED DEPRESSION RISK

According to researchers, people with diabetes may be at increased risk of suffering from depression as a result of biological problems in regulating sugar levels that influence emotional response in the brain. Using EEG, researchers discovered those with higher levels of insulin resistance showed greater response to negative images. READ MORE…
