Agmatine for Parkinson’s Disease:
The Neuroprotective Effects of Agmatine on Parkinson’s Disease: Focus on Oxidative Stress, Inflammation and Molecular Mechanisms Agmatine (AGM), a naturally occurring polyamine derived from L-arginine, has shown significant potential for neuroprotection in Parkinson’s Disease (PD) due to its multifaceted biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic effects. … …This review highlights agmatine’s promising therapeutic potential…
Potassium and the Potassium/Sodium Ratio: Electrolytes Matter
Potassium (K) and sodium (Na) are two of the most important electrolytes in the body, playing a crucial role in nerve function, muscle contractions, heart health, and fluid balance. However, the balance between these two minerals—the potassium-to-sodium ratio (K/Na ratio)—is just as important as their individual levels. 1. The Importance of PotassiumA. Functions of Potassium…

Aging is linked to microbial imbalance (dysbiosis), so optimizing gut health is key. ✅ Longevity-Boosting Foods:Fermented foods: Kefir, yogurt, sauerkraut, kimchiPrebiotics: Garlic, onions, leeks, asparagus, resistant starch (cooked/cooled potatoes, green bananas)Polyphenols: Dark berries, pomegranate, green tea, red wine (moderation) 🚫 Avoid Gut Disruptors:Ultra-processed foods &…
The Microbiota-Gut-Brain Axis: How Your Gut Influences Your Mind
The human gut is home to trillions of microorganisms that play a crucial role in digestion, immunity, and even brain function. The microbiota-gut-brain axis is an intricate communication network linking the gut microbiome to the brain, influencing mood, cognition, and overall mental health. Understanding this connection opens the door to new approaches in treating neurological…
