Fluoride and Its Potential Dangers to the Brain: A Critical Analysis
Fluoride (F⁻) has long been recognized for its dental benefits, primarily in preventing cavities and strengthening enamel. However, emerging research suggests that chronic fluoride exposure—especially at high levels—may have neurotoxic effects, raising concerns about its impact on brain health, cognitive function, and neurodevelopment.This article explores the scientific evidence on fluoride’s potential neurotoxicity, its mechanisms of…
Micro- and Nano-Element Depletion in Modern Food
IntroductionIn the age of industrial agriculture and ultra-processed foods, modern diets have become nutrient-deficient, particularly in micro- and nano-elements—trace minerals essential for human health. Unlike macronutrients (proteins, fats, carbohydrates) and vitamins, these elements are needed in tiny amounts but play critical roles in metabolic function, brain health, immune support, and disease prevention.However, due to soil…
Dietary glycation compounds – implications for human health
The term “glycation compounds” comprises a wide range of structurally diverse compounds that are formed endogenously and in food via the Maillard reaction, a chemical reaction between reducing sugars and amino acids. Glycation compounds produced endogenously are considered to contribute to a range of diseases. This has led to the hypothesis that glycation compounds present in food…
How Music Shapes Cognitive Health and Longevity
Imagine walking through your city, the rhythm of your footsteps blending with the natural sounds around you. A soft melody plays in your mind, perhaps a tune you composed or an old song that brings back memories. This isn’t just a fleeting pleasure—music is actively reshaping your brain, protecting it from cognitive decline, and even…
I Don’t Have a Sleep Disorder, I’m a Biphasic Sleeper
It’s 4:24 in the morning. Just woke up and made myself hot cacao. Now I’m writing this.
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…
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
Veganism is bad for older folks – my take on it
Veganism is a religion, but not mine. Aside of that, it can be bad for older adults. Vegan diet is necessarily high carb, and is more tolerable and can be excused in young age. But for older folks it is bad, and leads to type 2 diabetes and eventually to dementia. I follow low carb…
Veganism in Old Age: A Path to Healthy Aging?
Veganism, a lifestyle that eliminates all animal products, has grown in popularity among people of all ages. While it is often associated with environmental and ethical concerns, adopting a vegan diet can also provide significant health benefits for older adults, particularly when it comes to healthy aging and disease prevention. However, careful planning is essential…
