Magnesium protects the brain from inflammation and aging
This recent article explores how magnesium, an essential mineral, may help protect the brain from inflammation and deterioration associated with aging and neurodegenerative diseases. Key Points: Conclusion: Maintaining adequate magnesium levels is crucial for brain health. Magnesium’s ability to modulate neuroinflammation and protect neurons suggests its potential as a therapeutic agent in preventing or slowing…
Neuroprotective effects of magnesium: implications for neuroinflammation and cognitive decline
Epidemiological and clinical research consistently stresses the importance of adequate magnesium levels for improving cognitive health. Studies have shown a direct correlation between magnesium intake and cognitive function in healthy individuals.
Thiamin (Vitamin B1): Who Needs Supplementation and Why?
What is Thiamin? Thiamin, or vitamin B1, is an essential water-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in energy metabolism, nerve function, and overall cellular health. It is a coenzyme for enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism, making it vital for converting food into usable energy. Since the body does not store thiamin in large amounts,…

Omega-3 fatty acids and cognitive function Recent findings: Prospective studies and three new meta-analyses suggest that fish or n-3 PUFA intake are associated with a reduction in development of mild cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease. Supplementation with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in those with mild cognitive impairment showed benefit on cognitive decline,…

Despite these hurdles, the country continues to lead in agricultural technology (agtech) innovations, offering potential solutions to reduce reliance on manual labor through automation. Current State of Agriculture in IsraelLabor Shortages:…
Israel Needs Technological Revolution in the Fields of Construction and Agriculture.
Part 1. Homebuilding and Construction Israel skyline is peppered with the construction cranes. But it relies too much on foreign workforce. To become self-sufficient in manpower, we need to learn or invent new ways The homebuilding industry in Israel is currently navigating a complex landscape marked by significant challenges and opportunities. As of 2023, the…
Antibiotics affect gut microbiome and brain. Probiotics reverse these changes
Collectively, the data suggest that long-term use of antibiotics appears to disrupt the intestinal epithelial barrier and alter neurobehavioral qualities specifically, long-term memory and exploratory drive, possibly through the reduction of BDNF, and probiotics partially reverse these effects. Our study emphasizes the effect of prolonged intake of antibiotics on production of dysbiosis as well as…
Agmatine for Brain and Nervous System
Antibiotic administration disrupted tight junction proteins in the ileum, affecting gut architecture. Oral administration of agmatine alone or combined with probiotics significantly reversed antibiotic-induced dysbiosis, restoring gut microbiota and mitigating depression-like behaviors. This intervention also restored neuro-inflammatory markers, increased agmatine and monoamine levels, and preserved gut integrity
