New Link to Brain Disease

July 3, 2016 By Dean Lamori Leave a Comment

Brain disease might be linked with blood vessels.

Many Americans suffer nowadays from various types of brain disease, and the most common one is Alzheimer’s. Around 5 million people suffer nowadays from this disease and scientists calculated that this number will range between 15 to 20 million by 2050 if no treatment is discovered in the meantime.

Alzheimer’s cannot be treated or cured by present medication. It can only be prevented if people improve their life quality and adopt a healthy lifestyle consisting of physical exercises, a healthy diet, recreational activities, and studying.

Experts have come to the conclusion that keeping your brain active significantly reduces the risks of developing brain disease.

A recent study revealed that people who keep themselves busy with various are less likely to develop dementia later in life compared with lazy people. Dementia might also be caused by other health conditions such as thyroid problems, HIV, stress, depression, low sleep quality, and strokes.

The latest study conducted by researchers from the Rush Alzheimer’s Disease Center showed that small and large blood vessels in the brain might be linked to dementia. When these vessels are affected, they are regarded as a possible cause of brain disease.

Scientists analyzed the brains of 1,143 people out of which 478 suffered from Alzheimer’s when they were alive. Based on the collected data, 35 percent of the participants (401) had brain arteriolosclerosis, whereas 39 percent of them (445) had moderate to severe atherosclerosis.

Scientists also discovered that as the brain vessels were more and more affected, the risks of developing dementia increased as well. Alzheimer’s is considered the leading cause of dementia. That is why it is crucial for experts to find a way to tackle this disease in order to prevent the development of dementia.

According to Dr. Zoe Arvanitakis, lead researcher and neurologist at the Rush Alzheimer’s Disease Center, small and large diseased vessels affect the process of thinking and increase the risk of developing Alzheimer’s and strokes, which might eventually lead to dementia as well.

Arvanitakis underlined that the study did not aim to find the leading cause of Alzheimer’s or any other brain disease, but to establish whether diseased large and small blood vessels play a crucial role in the development of this disease.

By understanding more about brain disease, scientists hope to develop a treatment that will deal with these health conditions as soon as possible.

Better Brains for Busy People

May 22, 2016 By Dean Lamori Leave a Comment

"crowd of people"

Busy People have better brains.

It seems like busy people have better brains according to the latest study. It was proved that people with many things to do daily performed better in cognitive functions such as mental quickness, reasoning, and memory.

The study has also discovered that as you get older, you should find a way to keep yourself busy just as if you had a job. The reason is that being busy reduces the risk of dementia among older people.

Several tips might help you enjoy your day even if you are busy. Scientists encourage people to do some morning exercises after you wake up. Second, you should eat something as breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

Then, even if you arrive at work and see that you have so many things to do, just do them because they are part of your job, and it will help your future development not necessarily regarding your career but most importantly about yourself, as a person.

When you come back from work you have other things to do, but that is ok. If you have kids, it’s only natural to take care of them and encourage them in their hobbies such as soccer or other sports. Then you have to make dinner and prepare yourself for the next day which is most likely to be similar to this one.

But what experts encourage us to understand is that having a busy and hectic life could be a good exercise for the brain.

In the latest study, 330 people between the ages of 50 and 89 were tested to determine their cognitive brain functions including mental quickness, reasoning, and memory. The participants also had to fill out questionnaires which proved that those who had less free time had sharper minds.

Plus, it was established among older participants that exercising and keeping busy can prevent dementia. Nevertheless, scientists advise people to avoid exaggeration. Plus, the study was small and did not account for potential consequences, such as stress, the risk of heart diseases and negative effects on metabolism.

Furthermore, it might be possible that some of the participants had a better natural cognitive function. All in all, better brains seem to fit busy people.
