Age-defying compound protects brain health, study suggests
(NaturalHealth365) A recent study shows resveratrol improves cognitive performance. Though resveratrol does not receive considerable attention from the mainstream media, it is becoming increasingly clear that it provides several benefits for human health.
What’s behind resveratrol’s brain-protective effects?
Study shows resveratrol has anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties
Though resveratrol is a relatively unknown compound, it is quite beneficial. Resveratrol can significantly affect several responses, both inflammatory and non-inflammatory, safeguarding the body’s tissues and organs. Resveratrol’s protective qualities result from its interactions with immune cells and activity on the protein called Sirtuin 1 or SIRT1 for short. SIRT1 is an important protein linked to metabolic and inflammatory stressors.
In terms of resveratrol’s anti-aging impact, the compound has been shown to mitigate the aging process. The mediation of anti-aging effects occurs with pathway alterations. Resveratrol binds to molecules that signal to cells, trigger transcription factors, deter protein kinases and modulate certain regulatory genes. In other words, resveratrol is essential in the quest for slowing the aging process, especially in preventing the development of diseases.

Can this berry truly protect YOU from heart disease and type 2 diabetes?
(NaturalHealth365) With their lustrous indigo color and sweet-but-tart taste, ripe blueberries are perfect little globes of flavor and juiciness. Not only are blueberries delicious, but they are generally acknowledged as a true “superfood” by nutritionists, natural health experts, and physicians alike. But can the health benefits of blueberries really be confirmed? A steadily accumulating body of scientific evidence says, “yes!”
In a March 2020 review published in Advances in Nutrition, the authors credited regular blueberry consumption with reducing the risk of a host of serious diseases – including heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and Alzheimer’s disease. Let’s take a look at some of the ways in which these succulent berries lower the odds of developing life-threatening conditions.
Blueberries “rule the roost” in anthocyanin content
Anthocyanins – natural plant pigments responsible for the deep purples, blues, and reds in fresh fruits and vegetables – are the primary active constituent of blueberries. These disease-fighting plant compounds have potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects – and may even have anticancer and anti-aging properties as well.

Blueberries are a miraculous natural medicine
(Natural News) Blueberries are miraculous natural medicine. If they were prescription medications, they would be called a “miracle” health breakthrough and an unprecedented milestone in medical science. Yet you can get them without a prescription, without a visit to the doctor and without “permission” from your health insurance provider.
And unlike toxic prescription medications, blueberries are incredibly delicious. Just be sure to buy organic, since you don’t want to poison your body with toxic pesticides used on non-organic blueberries. (Read Blueberries.news for more coverage of the health benefits of this amazing superfruit…)
As I explain in the studio video below, blueberries provide astonishing health benefits that no drug can match. These benefits include:
- Provides nutrients such as 36% of the daily recommended intake of Vitamin K, 25% of manganese and 24% of vitamin C
- They’re low in cholesterol, low in sodium and low in saturated fat
- They reduce your risk of heart attacks by 32%
- They’re great for your brain; just 30 ml of juice has been found to improve cognitive function and prevent memory loss
- Consuming just two servings per week was found to restore brain functionequivalent to being 2 1/2 years younger
- They support friendly bacteria in your gut
- They’re also a great source of fiber, which improves digestive health

Stop cognitive decline with these 10 great nutritional tips
(Naturalhealth365) For many baby boomers, it’s an unpleasant irony – the generation that famously said “Never trust anyone over thirty!” is now, itself, experiencing the undeniable signs of cognitive decline due to aging. For example, the statistics on Alzheimer’s suggest we have a serious health crisis on our hands – especially as we move closer to 2050.
But, the main point – of this article – is that poor brain function is avoidable.
Memory loss, forgetfulness, decreased ability to maintain focus, reductions in problem-solving abilities – these symptoms (sometimes known as “senior moments”) can all signal mild age-related cognitive decline. And cognitive decline, if untreated, can potentially progress to Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia.
If you are experiencing mild cognitive decline, however, take heart: the ‘top ten’ natural nutrients – listed below – can help to optimize brain function, preventing and even reversing the early signs of dementia.
What causes cognitive decline?
A variety of physical changes in the aging brain can trigger cognitive impairment and memory loss. Age-related thinning of the cerebral cortex, a decrease in the production of neurotransmitters (the brain’s “chemical messengers”) and the accumulation of neurofibrillary tangles and plaques in the brain can all compromise cognitive ability.
Factors contributing to these physical changes can include chronic inflammation, declining hormones, oxidative stress and arterial dysfunction. Lifestyle issues – such as obesity, overweight, lack of exercise, poor nutrition, and physical and chronic emotional stress – can also set the stage for age-related cognitive impairment.
