For physical activity diet etc. to prevent cognitive decline, accelerated aging, inflammaging, telomere attrition it must begin in 20s and 30s and continued. Benefits are severely attenuated or abolished with a late start.
He said aerobic exercises impact Alzheimer’s, does he mean positive or negatively.I do aerobics3/4 times a week Does the level of consumption of proteins affect these amyloids in the brain??? What about the effect of an under active thyroid on the brain/Alzheimers
Aerobic exercise is very beneficial. You might want to check out the research at Dr. Yassine’s Lab - yassinelab.com/ A Study: Study reveals a short bout of exercise enhances brain function Researchers from Oregon Health & Science University wanted to discover how exercise can actually benefit the brain-besides releasing endorphins and boosting our moods. Previous studies have linked exercise to better brain health, but it’s hard to separate the physical benefits from the specific effects on the brain. The scientists designed a study where mice completed single, short bursts of exercise-the human equivalent to walking 4,000 steps-and their brain activity was monitored for three days post-exercise. The researchers discovered just a short workout increased activity in the hippocampus, the region of the brain responsible for learning and memory. The hippocampus is responsible for forming, organizing and storing our memories, and plays a major role in cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s Disease. "Exercise is cheap, and you don't necessarily need a fancy gym membership or have to run 10 miles a day," said co-senior author Gary Westbrook, M.D Previous research in animals and in people shows that regular exercise promotes general brain health. However, it’s hard to untangle the overall benefits of exercise to the heart, liver and muscles from the specific effect on the brain. For example, a healthy heart oxygenates the whole body, including the brain. “Previous studies of exercise almost all focus on sustained exercise,” Westbrook said. “As neuroscientists, it’s not that we don’t care about the benefits on the heart and muscles but we wanted to know the brain-specific benefit of exercise.” So the scientists designed a study in mice that specifically measured the brain’s response to single bouts of exercise in otherwise sedentary mice that were placed for short periods on running wheels. The mice ran a few kilometers in two hours. The study found that short-term bursts of exercise - the human equivalent of a weekly game of pickup basketball, or 4,000 steps - promoted an increase in synapses in the hippocampus. Scientists made the key discovery by analyzing genes that were increased in single neurons activated during exercise. One particular gene stood out: Mtss1L. This gene had been largely ignored in prior studies in the brain. “That was the most exciting thing,” said co-lead author The Mtss1L gene encodes a protein that causes bending of the cell membrane. Researchers discovered that when this gene is activated by short bursts of exercise, it promotes small growths on neurons known as dendritic spines - the site at which synapses form. In effect, the study showed that an acute burst of exercise is enough to prime the brain for learning.
It's really informative and it gives hope to the aged . Thanks !
I'm going to watch this tomorrow, but do you know if he mentioned anything about diet?
Drinking coconut oil or using fresh coconut oil on cooked rice etc. etc. has also been supplementary to neuro-physiological massage.
For physical activity diet etc. to prevent cognitive decline, accelerated aging, inflammaging, telomere attrition it must begin in 20s and 30s and continued. Benefits are severely attenuated or abolished with a late start.
Not true. Read Rich Roll's book "Finding Ultra". Do you consider 54, "young"?
Stop spraying aluminum on the clouds.

positively
What kind of aerobic exercise do you do? Is it recommended for those in their 70's who say are showing sign of alzheimers
