An anti-inflammatory diet rich in fruits, vegetables, tea and coffee reduces the risk of developing dementia by a third. This conclusion was made by scientists from the Athens National University named after Kapodistrias. Greek scientists are convinced that eating an anti-inflammatory diet of fruits, vegetables, tea and coffee reduces the…
DEMENTIA: A POPULAR DRINK DAMAGES THE BRAIN AND LEADS TO COGNITIVE DAMAGE
The presence of mild cognitive impairment puts the adult generation at a higher risk of brain damage. This happens when people do not give up drinking alcohol. The Alzheimer’s Society, a dementia research charity, warns of alcohol-related brain damage (ARBD). If the harm is severe, alcohol-related dementia, also known as…
LOOKS LIKE A WATCH: SCIENTISTS DEVELOPER A DEVICE THAT PREDICTES EPILEPSY
Despite a range of measures that are used to treat epilepsy, some people still have seizures. Their unpredictability negatively affects the quality of life of patients. If seizures could be reliably predicted, people with epilepsy could take fast-acting medications or turn on a neurostimulator to prevent an attack or minimize…
MISUSE OF FOODS CAN LEAD TO DEMENTIA
The British edition of the Daily Express published the findings of scientists that french fries and other fried vegetables cause cognitive impairment in humans. As a result of many years of observation, Dr. Jennifer Robinson and her colleagues came to the conclusion that a large amount of fried vegetables is…
SCIENTISTS EXPLAINED WHY THE BRAIN DOES NOT WANT TO WORK IN A STATE OF FATIGUE
Scientists conducted an interesting experiment. Somewhere here our brain thinks: do I need it? In other words, it weighs the significance of the task and the amount of effort required to complete it. These areas are called the striatum because gray and white matter runs in stripes. And there, in…
BASIL RECOGNIZED AN EFFECTIVE MEANS FOR THE PREVENTION OF DEMENTIA
Brain health needs to be taken care of from a young age, so add basil to your diet. Scientists have found that this plant can protect against dementia. Researchers from the University of South Florida have found that such an unpretentious and affordable plant like basil can prevent dementia, characterized…
BOTULINE THERAPY: NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR REHABILITATION WITH MUSCLE SPASTICITY
Acute cerebrovascular accident is often accompanied by increasing muscle spasticity. It develops after a stroke and may be accompanied by severe pain. In the long term, spasticity leads to abnormal patterns of limb movement. The condition worsens the quality of life of a person, prevents him from restoring complex motor…
SCIENTISTS FOUND THAT LOW TEMPERATURE HOLDS THE DEVELOPMENT OF MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
The American biomedical journal Cell Metabolism published the results of studies by Swiss scientists on the positive effect of cold on the disease of multiple sclerosis in humans. The results showed that due to the decrease in immunity in cold conditions, the severity of the disease is reduced. Multiple sclerosis…
SCIENTISTS: JAST FOOD CAN LEAD TO INFLAMMATORY REACTIONS IN THE BRAIN
Fast food can lead to inflammatory responses in the brain and also increases the risk of memory loss. To do this, scientists conducted an experiment during which they randomly divided young and old rats into three groups. The rodents in the first group consumed food for four weeks. There, 54%…
MOLDING AND DRAWING SLOW PROGRESSION OF PARKINSON’S DISEASE
Parkinson’s disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer’s disease, affecting more than 7 million people worldwide. It is characterized by emotional and cognitive impairment, severe tremor, gait changes, and increased muscle tone. It most often develops in old age, but there are cases of early Parkinson’s. In…
