HARMFUL EFFECTS OF STRESS ON THE BRAIN AND PROMISING APPROACHES FOR RELIEF

Researchers present new findings about how stress takes a toll on the whole body

Hormonal imbalance, lack of sleep and aging

Hormonal changes can wreak havoc on sleep. In turn, sleep deprivation can affecthormone levels in a sleepless vicious cycle. So when hormone levels spike or drop — such as during the menstrual cycle, during and after pregnancy, and especially around menopause — women may be more vulnerable to 

Gut Bacteria Linked to Age Related Conditions

Researchers transplanted gut bacteria from older mice into young mice and noted age related chronic inflammation following the procedure. The process, dubbed inflammaging, is linked to conditions associated with older age such as stoke and dementia.

Cost of staying young and delaying aging

Having more time to relax and enjoy the culture and environment around you can delay the aging process. While doing that, you breath deeply and savor with all your senses things around you.

Note that sense of smell and taste are decreased with aging especially as Alzheimer or Parkinson’s disease progress.

You can walk and exercise every 4 hours and not be confined to a box and a chair. Email motherhealth@gmail.com of stories how your parents or grandparents reached the age of 98+.

Skin and nerves need Vit C, A, D, E, calcium-magnesium and B complex

Neuroscientists at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have discovered how the sense of touch is wired in the skin and nervous system. The new findings, published Dec. 22 in Cell, open new doors for understanding how the brain collects and processes information from hairy skin.

“You can deflect a single hair on your arm and feel it, but how can you tell the difference between a raindrop, a light breeze or a poke of a stick?” says David Ginty, Ph.D., professor of neuroscience at Johns Hopkins. “Touch is not yes or no; it’s very rich, and now we’re starting to understand how all those inputs are processed.”

Mitochondrial disease , anti-oxidants, nutrition test and Dementia

Mitochondrial diseases are a group of disorders caused by dysfunctional mitochondria, the organelles that generate energy for the cell. Mitochondria are found in every cell of the human body except red blood cells, and convert the energy of food molecules into the ATP that powers most cell functions.

Sensory neurons regulate how we recognize pain, touch, and the movement

Sensory neurons regulate how we recognize pain, touch, and the movement and position of our own bodies, but the field of neuroscience is just beginning to unravel this circuitry. Now, new research from the Salk Institute shows how a protein called p75 is critical for pain signaling, which could one day have implications for treating neurological disorders as well as trauma such as spinal cord injury.

Reaction Time Variation May Be a Marker That Predicts Mortality in Old Age

Reaction Time Variation May Be a Marker That Predicts Mortality in Old Age Summary: According to a PLOS ONE study, a person’s intraindividual reaction time variability may be an independent predictor of mortality. Source: PLOS. A common indicator of neurobiological disturbance among the elderly may also be associated with mortality, according to a study publishedContinue reading “Reaction Time Variation May Be a Marker That Predicts Mortality in Old Age”

Slow the aging process by lengthening your telomeres

Telomeres, the tiny units of DNA at the very end of each chromosome, shorten over time because they cannot fully replicate each time the cell divides. Hence, as you get older, your telomeres get shorter and shorter. But a growing body of research is showing that certain nutrients play a huge role in protecting, orContinue reading “Slow the aging process by lengthening your telomeres”
