Mindsip insights from this episode:
Reduce homocysteine levels with TMG to lower Alzheimer's risk
The supplement TMG may lower a key risk factor for Alzheimer's disease by reducing high levels of the amino acid homocysteine.
Take daily multivitamin to slow brain aging
A large trial discovered that taking a daily multivitamin and mineral supplement had an effect on cognition equivalent to reducing the brain's aging speed by two years.
Receive shingles vaccine to lower dementia risk
In a large natural experiment, receiving the shingles vaccine was associated with a nearly 20% relative risk reduction in new dementia diagnoses.
Utilize shingles vaccine to reduce dementia-related mortality risk
For individuals already diagnosed with dementia, the shingles vaccine appeared to slash their risk of death over a nine-year period by nearly 30 percentage points.
Choose newer shingles vaccine to lower dementia risk
A study in the US found that the newer, recombinant shingles vaccine was associated with an even lower risk of dementia than the older, live-virus version.
Ensure adequate B vitamins to maximize omega-3 brain benefits
Research found that having adequate B vitamin levels, which can be supported by a multivitamin, was important for seeing the brain-boosting benefits of omega-3 supplements.
Investigate chickenpox virus role in dementia development
The varicella-zoster virus, which causes chickenpox, is a chief suspect in driving dementia by acting as a chronic stressor that drives inflammation in the brain.
Use hearing aids to reduce dementia risk
A systematic review found that people with hearing loss who used hearing aids had a significantly lower risk of cognitive decline and dementia.
