According to study: How often you have a bowel movement says something about your health<\/span><\/a> (Chip 31.01.2025)<\/span><\/h3>\n

Researchers have discovered that the frequency of bowel movements influences the risk of dangerous diseases.<\/span>n old medical proverb says: “Death is in the gut.” This is because the gut not only houses a large part of the immune system, but is also involved in many important metabolic processes. Vital nutrients are absorbed from food in the intestine and transported to the organs via the blood.<\/span><\/p>\n

If something is wrong with the intestinal flora, this not only has unpleasant effects on digestion, but also on the health of the entire body. Intensive research is currently being carried out into how a disturbed intestinal flora, also known as the microbiome, affects diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis. <\/span><\/p>\n

Late REM sleep could be a sign of Alzheimer’s disease<\/span><\/a> (MDR 28.01.2025)<\/span><\/h3>\n

Researchers from the USA and China have discovered that the length and quality of sleep determine the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. REM sleep, in which the eyes move rapidly, plays a particularly important role. During this sleep phase, the brain processes memories, particularly of an emotional nature, and stores them in long-term memory. If REM sleep is disturbed, this can have a negative effect on the brain. <\/span><\/p>\n

New study provides alarming insights: This is how processed meat increases your risk of dementia<\/span><\/a> (Focus online 25.01.2025)<\/span><\/h3>\n

A recent study from the USA draws attention to the health risks of processed red meat. Of particular concern is the link to an increased risk of dementia and accelerated cognitive decline. <\/span><\/p>\n

Call for personalized prevention of neurological diseases<\/span><\/a> (Medical Journal 07.01.2025)<\/span><\/h3>\n

The German Society of Neurology (DGN) is in favor of a new approach to the prevention of neurological diseases.<\/span><\/p>\n

(Please also take a look at the <\/span><\/i>Top interview with Prof. Dr. Spitz<\/span><\/i><\/a> on the importance of preventing dementia)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

One headline in particular caught our eye: The study, which was published in the journal “Neurology”, was impressive for the sheer number of 133,000 participants who were observed over a period of 43 years. The study looked at the consumption of processed red meat and found that it was associated with an increased risk of dementia and a deterioration in cognitive function:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. People who consumed at least 0.25 portions (about 20 grams) of processed red meat per day had a 13% increased risk of developing dementia.<\/li>\n
  2. The consumption of processed red meat was associated with accelerated cognitive aging, which amounted to about 1.61 years for global cognition and 1.69 years for verbal memory.<\/li>\n
  3. Replacing a daily portion of red meat with nuts or pulses was associated with a 19% lower risk of dementia.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These findings highlight the potential cognitive risks of excessive red meat consumption and emphasize the importance of a balanced diet for brain health.
