Individual Alzheimer’s prevention is possible: carry out a cognoscopy in time

Individual Alzheimer’s prevention is possible: carry out a cognoscopy in time

Cognoscopy combines laboratory examinations and cognitive tests for the early detection of Alzheimer's disease. With these examinations, you can proactively minimize your risk factors and maintain your quality of life into old age.

Stress reduction pays off: breathing technique reduces Alzheimer’s biomarkers after a short time

Stress reduction pays off: breathing technique reduces Alzheimer’s biomarkers after a short time

Studies show a link between chronic stress and the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. A breathing technique could help reduce this risk by reducing stress and inducing changes in the brain that are associated with biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease.

New study solves mystery of dying brain cells in Alzheimer’s disease

New study solves mystery of dying brain cells in Alzheimer’s disease

A new animal model sheds light on the dark mystery of Alzeheim disease. A molecule called MEG 3 is capable of causing human brain cells to die, making it a potential risk factor for Alzeheimer's disease.

Recent study shows: Antibody drugs for Alzheimer’s shrink the brain

Recent study shows: Antibody drugs for Alzheimer’s shrink the brain

An Australian study found that antibody drugs for Alzheimer's, such as aducanumab and lecanemab, can reduce brain volumes. Despite successful reduction of Alzheimer's-specific amyloid-beta deposits, the benefit of these drugs remains questionable. They slow cognitive decline only slightly and have severe side effects. The study also suggests that these drugs promote the cardinal structural symptom of Alzheimer's disease, brain atrophy. Thus, they increase the risk of brain tissue loss, a direct cause of cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease.

New Theory in dementia research: could fructose trigger Alzheimer’s?

New Theory in dementia research: could fructose trigger Alzheimer’s?

By Kerstin Groß-Steinmeyer|2023-04-18T14:36:18+02:0019. April 2023|Categories: causes, nutrition, prevention|Tags: carbohydrates, sugars|

The fact that fructose hardly raises blood glucose levels due to its low glycemic index and is largely metabolized independently of insulin has led to the assumption in the past that it has a beneficial effect on health. New studies prove that fructose is less beneficial than previously thought.

A rolling stone gathers no moss. This simple saying also hits the nail on the head when it comes to dementia prevention. This is now also confirmed by a large number of scientific studies. New findings show that there is far more leeway in the recommendations for daily exercise routines than previously assumed.
