Use of beta blockers reduced risk of dementia

Live healthy and long

From Newsmax health

In the Honolulu study reported by Dr. Lon White at Pacific Health Research and Education Institute, those who took anti hypertensive drugs known as beta blocker:   propanololo, atenolol, and metopronol did not have damages from demenetia and Alzheimers.   Surely the lower blood pressure offered as protection for the brain of the subjects.  Less damages were visible after the autopsy

The study involved 774 men in a study that covers the period 1991 to 2012 and who had ages 71 to 93.  Those who took the beta blocker had less fewer lesions than those who took other blood pressure lowering drugs.

The study cant be conclusive owing to the small number of sample...

More studyneeded.

Science Finally Proves It:
Prayer Changes Your Brain
in 4 Astonishing Ways . . .

Dear Reader,
Millions of Americans believe prayer works. Yet the mainstream media tends to avoid the subject altogether.
But our Mind Health Report team at Newsmax Health wanted answers to questions like these:
  1. Can modern science explain prayer?
  2. Does praying strengthen your brain and prevent mental decline?
  3. What benefits, if any, does prayer offer you — physically, mentally, and emotionally?
To this end, the team went out to the scientific and medical community to learn the potential benefits of prayer — and what they found both surprised and excited all of us here at The Mind Health Report.
The results were so startling, in fact, we created a FREE video presentation to share with you exactly what we discovered.
When you watch this FREE video, you'll discover how prayer actually changes four distinct areas of your brain. In fact, you'll see exactly how prayer or other spiritual practices increase activity in the areas of your brain that are most helpful to you, and diminish activity in areas that are less helpful — or even harmful.
You'll also see:
  • How a specific amount of "prayer time" per day can help prevent memory loss, mental decline, and even dementia or Alzheimer's . . .
  • The #1 prayer pitfall that can actually make you sick if you're not careful (this is one of the most important bits of wisdom you'll ever gain) . . .
  • 47 scientifically proven benefits of prayer, including pain relief, reduced risk of death from heart attack or stroke, lessened anxiety or depression, and more . . .
  • And much, much more . . .
This video does not promote any specific religion or spiritual practice. But it does shed light on a practice that 3 out of 4 Americans engage in on a regular basis — a practice basically ignored by the mainstream media.
Please don't delay watching this. You could get busy and forget — or the video could be removed and you'll have lost this special opportunity.
Dedicated to your healthy mind and brain,
Travis Davis

Margarine linked to Alzheimer's disease

Live healthy and long

From newsmaxhealth by Sylvia Hubbard and Kathleen Walter

Everybody thought that switching to margarine was healthier (from butter) because it contains less fat.  But it is not.  Margarine contains diacetyl.which is linked to  damaging protein in Alzheimer.  Diacetyl is found in microwaved popcorn, candies, and baked goods.

This is according to Dr. Erika Schwartz, a wellness Dr.  The more the chemical is difficult to pronounce, the better to stay away from them.

Alternatives would be butter and olive oil (VCO too?, coconut oil)

Moderation or banning margarine?

Should margarine be banned;  or use this in moderation

Food for Thought:  How to Feed Your
Brain the Nutrients It Needs to Function at Its Most Optimal


Dear Underground Health Reporter Reader,

Forgot your glasses on the top of your head again? 

     As we age, we often have more "head-in-the-clouds" moments than we did when we were younger.  There are the simple explanations for these "senior moments."  You probably do have more on your plate, more to think about, more to worry about—and so naturally it is more difficult to remember where you parked the car or what you did with your keys. 

     But the scientific truth is, every time we can't remember someone's name or recall a familiar memory, our brain is actually signaling for help.  Innocent "brain slips" today often evolve into very serious memory loss conditions in the future.

     There are approximately 24 million people worldwide living with some form of dementia, a number that could grow to 84 million by the year 2040.  It is essential now, more than ever, to provide our brains with the necessary amounts of nutrients it needs to remain strong and vital throughout our entire lives; to sharpen our minds at every age and prevent bouts of forgetfulness; and to avoid being a part of those alarming statistics.

     Let's first understand the scientific explanation behind these bouts of forgetfulness.

Where Do Memories Live Anyway—and How Do Our Brains Retrieve Them?

Our memories aren't neatly stored in one area of the brain, but are scattered throughout, just waiting for a brain cell to come and collect them.  Our brain cells are constantly chattering with one another, sending signals to retrieve memories.

     As the brain ages, this cell-to-cell communication gradually deteriorates, and at a much younger age than anyone would have imagined!  By age 39 the communication rate between brain cells significantly begins to slow.  Although we may not experience any serious symptoms in our thirties and forties, age-related impairment is still occurring. 

     Autopsy results at Johns Hopkins and other medical centers confirm the gradual effects of aging on the brain:  The autopsies of subjects who had demonstrated no signs of forgetfulness or lack of focus while alive, still showed signs of memory-loss damage.

The Culprit?

We've all heard that free radicals can wreak havoc on our bodies; the cosmetics industry has made a fortune marketing products designed to combat the damaging effects of these molecules.  Free radicals are also one of the main culprits behind an aging brain.

     These highly reactive molecules are a normal byproduct of cell function.  What makes them dangerous is their extra electron, which doesn't want to be without a partner.  Free radicals steal electrons from healthy cells and tissues.  Left defenseless, these once healthy cells are no longer able to function properly and, if left depleted, eventually die.

     Fortunately, our bodies come with a built-in defense system of antioxidants, which cancel out free radical damage by donating extra electrons before free radicals can swipe electrons from our cells.  Unfortunately, this defense system is not enough.

     While our bodies are able to counteract the effects of free radicals produced within the body, they are unable to deal with the barrage of free radicals from outside the body, such as air pollution from industrial waste and cigarette smoke, lack of sleep, stress ... even too much sunlight!  Our antioxidant supply  is exhausted, sparking inflammation and aging in the body and the brain.

     Chronic, low-level inflammation is a contributing agent to 7 of the top 10 leading causes of mortality in the United States, including Alzheimer's disease.

     While we can prevent memory loss and its consequences—including poor concentration, confusion and a tired mind—by feeding our brain the necessary antioxidants it needs to neutralize free radicals, these antioxidants are not readily available in the foods we eat or in the supplements we take.

     Traditional antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, while effective at eradicating free radicals in the body, do nothing to battle the free radicals that threaten our brains.  These typical antioxidants cannot get past the blood brain barrier, a protective wall that shields the brain from harmful toxins.  Regrettably, the blood brain barrier is so effective that it keeps the beneficial antioxidants out as well.

     There is, however, a newly reported antioxidant that has demonstrated an exceptional capacity at infiltrating the blood brain barrier and protecting against inflammation and memory loss.

Key Nutrient for Protection Against Brain Inflammation and Memory Loss

Researchers from Tohuku University in Japan studied 30 healthy men and women, ages 50 to 69 years, to measure the effects of a key omega-3 fatty acid derived from marine algae, on overall cognitive functioning.  The results, published in the British Journal of Nutrition, showed that this key nutrient not only reached the brain at a far greater rate than other antioxidants, but also reduced the levels of free radical compounds proven to cause dementia.

     This single nutrient alone, while extremely beneficial, still does not provide complete protection against memory loss.  When enhanced with potent essential amino acids, phospholipids, B vitamins and chemical neurotransmitters, the beneficial results are astounding.

     Use of this powerful combination of this supercharged nutrient, potent essential amino acids, phospholipids, B Vitamins and chemical neurotransmitters has shown enhancements in people's mental faculties, and within a couple of days of use, people have reported increased...
      mental alertness and clarity
      focus and concentration
      recall of facts, dates, times, and names
      aptitude at "mental master" games that involve memory and concentration

Memory Loss Doesn't Have to Be a Normal Symptom of Aging

Protecting your memories and improving your mental capacity is doable—and you can do it without drugs, learning CDs or frustrating memory games!

     Popular author, board certified dietician/nutritionist, chiropractor and "Doctor to the Stars," Dr. Allan H. Pressman, who has interviewed leading health experts such as Deepak Chopra and Dr. Atkins, calls this miracle marine-based nutrient, "the future superstar of nutrition for a healthy brain.  In fact, after seeing the incredible results I can confidently say ... yes, you can give yourself a "better brain"—no matter what your age!"

     Click here for the full details on how such a unique compilation of supercharged antioxidants, essential amino acids and other prime nutrients can immediately improve your brain health and help put a permanent end to those embarrassing "senior moments."

Wishing you the best of health,

Danica Collins
