An intriguing new study published in Molecular Biology showed that intermittent fasting improves memory — especially long-term memory retention. Conducted on mice at King’s College London by researchers in the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, the study also noted that intermittent fasting was associated with the development of new adult hippocampal neurons. Researchers theorize […]
Melatonin Protects Mitochondria From Deleterious Impact of Coronaviruses
New research sheds light on connections between mitochondrial health and performance, melatonin and coronavirus impact, specifically demonstrating how melatonin protects mitochondria, potentially reducing the impact of coronaviruses. In the study, published by the medical review journal Pharmacology and Therapeutics, researchers found that coronaviruses seem to target the mitochondria and melatonin appears to offer protection against […]
Understanding the Connection Between Sleep and Inflammation
Sleep and inflammation have been intricately linked in a host of medical research studies, demonstrating the complex relationship between the two. A disruption in sleep patterns can often be traced back to chronic inflammation in the body. Conversely, numerous studies have shown that regular sleep disturbances are associated with a higher risk of certain markers […]
What Happens When You Don’t Sleep?
Getting seven to eight hours of quality sleep every night is essential to physical, cognitive and emotional health. Unfortunately, millions of people suffer from sleep disorders that keep them from meeting this goal. Even if you do fall asleep fairly quickly, you may sleep restlessly or wake up in the middle of the night. Learning […]
How the Body Clock Controls Brain Waste Removal
A recent scientific revelation demonstrated that the internal body clock controls brain waste removal. Previously, it was believed that sleep itself was a crucial player. These new findings are instrumental in proving that the body’s inherent circadian rhythm, not sleep, is the controlling element in how the brain is able to effectively eliminate waste. This […]
