Nicotinamide Riboside converting 60yr old to 20yr old cells in mice, an anti-aging miracle (metabolic and brain issues)
Mitochondria, organelles on the right, interact with the cell’s nucleus to ensure a healthy, functioning cell. Researchers have discovered a cause of aging in mammals that may be reversible. Aging Process The essence of this finding is a series of molecular events that enable communication inside cells between the nucleus and mitochondria. As communication breaksContinue reading “Nicotinamide Riboside converting 60yr old to 20yr old cells in mice, an anti-aging miracle (metabolic and brain issues)”
The Aging but Resilient Brain: Keeping Neurons Happy
Notes: White matter in brain becomes less as we age. Men have more gray matter (math processing) while women have more white matter (finding patterns beyond math processing). Myelin sheath of the brain ensures electrical connections. A healthy gut leads to a healthy brain. What-makes-the-brain-works-and-why-it ages and becomes unhealthy [PPT] [PDF]
Support your lymphatic system to support your brain

Brain neurons can be stimulated to create more networks, re-hydrate brain by sleeping
What stops our brain from having this balance all the time? Injury Medications, including alcohol Fatigue Emotional distress Pain Stress These 6 types of problems tend to create a pattern in our brain’s activity that is hard to shift. In chaos theory, we would call this pattern a “chaotic attractor”.

Changing gut bacteria through diet affects brain function, UCLA study shows
UCLA researchers now have the first evidence that bacteria ingested in food can affect brain function in humans. In an early proof-of-concept study of healthy women, they found that women who regularly consumed beneficial bacteria known as probiotics through yogurt showed altered brain function, both while in a resting state and in response to anContinue reading “Changing gut bacteria through diet affects brain function, UCLA study shows”

Brain is connected to the immune system: strengthen your immune system to detox your brain
In a stunning discovery that overturns decades of textbook teaching, researchers at the University of Virginia School of Medicine have determined that the brain is directly connected to the immune system by vessels previously thought not to exist. That such vessels could have escaped detection when the lymphatic system has been so thoroughly mapped throughoutContinue reading “Brain is connected to the immune system: strengthen your immune system to detox your brain”

Brain food , sources of GABA and for brain cell growth
Doctors often prescribe SSRIs to help put the brakes on the brain for those who are overly amped up. Essentially, serotonin and GABA are the brakes and Acetylcholine and Dopamine are the gas. When it comes to anxiety issues, SSRIs are analogous to using the emergency brake on your car to slow down the vehicleContinue reading “Brain food , sources of GABA and for brain cell growth”
