Metformin Slows Brain Aging in Older Monkeys, New Research Shows
Key Points: Our brain helps us to learn and remember information that helps us navigate reality and interact socially. When our brains age, our ability to learn and remember declines. However, certain anti-aging compounds may slow this decline. One of these compounds is metformin, and scientists have recently found it to improve learning and memory… Continue reading Metformin Slows Brain Aging in Older Monkeys, New Research Shows
Is Apigenin Safe? And How it Improves Sleep and Aging
Key Points: In our fast-paced world, getting a good night’s sleep can be hard. A new survey showed that about 40 million (12%) Americans suffer from insomnia.

In spite of the fact that this area of research has attracted a significant number of researchers and an absurd amount of funding, there isn’t… Continue reading Research Supports Apigenin’s Anti-Aging Benefits on The Brain
Researchers Use Gold Nanoparticles to Treat Neurodegenerative Disease
Key Points: Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder characterized by memory loss, cognitive decline, and behavioral changes due to the degeneration and death of brain cells. These changes in the brain are thought to be caused by the buildup of abnormal protein in the brain, causing damage and eventually killing brain cells. In this… Continue reading Researchers Use Gold Nanoparticles to Treat Neurodegenerative Disease
Probiotic and Fiber Drink Deters Dementia in New Japanese Study
Key Points: Millions of people across the globe suffer from dementia, with worldwide economic costs reaching $1.3 trillion in 2019, not to mention the unmeasurable physical, emotional, and psychological costs.
