Anti-Aging Therapies: Can Coffee Protect Against Alzheimer’s?
Ruth Butters asked:
Every coffeehound knows how important that beautiful brew can be. It wakes us up in the morning, it’s the midafternoon pause that refreshes, and it’s the ideal accompaniment to after-dinner everything, from dessert to discussions. We know it makes us feel better … but can it actually help our brains function better?
It looks like the answer is yes. A University of North Carolina study on the effects of drinking coffee concluded that caffeine is a safe and reliable drug that could potentially play a role in the therapies against neurological disorders. It is even believed that drinking coffee could help prevent Alzheimer’s disease, one of the most wide-spread and devastating of all age-related disorders.
How coffee protects the brain
Coffee’s protective powers center on what medical experts call the “blood brain barrier”, a natural filter that guards the central nervous system against potentially dangerous chemicals that may be carried through the rest of the bloodstream. It is believed that high cholesterol levels in the blood have an adverse effect of this filter, weakening the barrier against these chemicals and leaving the brain vulnerable to damage.
The University of North Dakota study showed that after three months of a high-cholesterol diet, the blood brain barrier in rabbits that had ingested the equivalent of just one cup of coffee per day was far more intact than the barrier in those that had been given no caffeine.
Research on Alzheimer’s disease indicates that a weak or “leaky” blood brain barrier that makes cholesterol damage to the brain possible is among the factors that can trigger or contribute to the disease.
Caffeine shown to reverse Alzheimer’s symptoms
A recent University of Florida study even suggests that caffeine could actually reverse some of the symptoms of Alzheimer’s. The study used mice bred to develop symptoms of the disease, which were tested to confirm that they were exhibiting the same kind of memory impairment that human Alzheimer’s sufferers experience.
Half the mice were then put on a daily regimen that included the caffeine equivalent of five cups coffee added to their drinking water, while half the mice had no caffeine added to their water.
After two months both groups of mice were retested, and it was found that the mice that had been drinking the caffeine-added water performed significantly better on memory and thinking skills, actually testing as well as mice that had not been bred to develop dementia. The mice that had been drinking non-caffeinated water showed no improvement in the tests.
Even more encouragingly, it was found that the brains of the mice given caffeine showed as much as 50% reduction in levels of beta amyloid protein, which is the basis of the destructive plaque that builds up in the brains of dementia patients. The research suggested that caffeine had this effect because it suppresses brain inflammation that leads to over-production of the protein.
Experts warn that while these results are extremely positive, more research is needed to determine whether caffeine has the same effects on people.

Alzheimer’s Disease Part X - What to Avoid
Kyle J. Norton asked:
As we mentioned in previous articles Alzheimer’s disease is a brain disorder named after German physician Alois Alzheimer. Alzheimer’s destroys brain cells, causing problems with memory, thinking and behavior severe enough to affect language communication, memory, lifelong hobbies or social life. Alzheimer’s gets worse over time, and it is fatal. In this article, we will discuss what to avoid so you can cut the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
1. Limit intake of processed sugar
Study shows that intake of high amounts of processed sugar over a long period causes worse learning and memory retention and in the brain and increasing amyloid plaque deposits. Sugar beverage causes the increasing blood levels of beta-amyloid, a sticky protein substance that builds up in the brain resulting in Alzheimer’s disease.
2. Limit intake of salt
Sodium is crucial for maintaining the health of every cell in the human system. Excessive salt consumption contributes to the development of high blood pressure heart disease and stroke causing depletion of oxygen in the bloodstream resulting in plague and tangle building up in certain regions of the brain.
3. Limit the use of aluminum cook ware
Overheating aluminum cookware will cause a chemical reaction and aluminum leaking into your food resulting in heavy mental accumulated in certain regions in your brain increasing the risk of Alzheimer’ s disease.
4. Replace farm fish with wild fish
Farm fish grows in crown areas, contain high amounts of mercury and lead that are not only harmful to your body but also causes the accumulation of such chemicals in your brain resulting in a increased the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
5. Use purifier in your tab water
In order to avoid the intake of heavy metal through water drinking, the best solution is to purify your tab water before drinking or drinking only boiled water.
6. Avoid foods that are stripped of vital nutrition
Food that contains caffeine, artificial additive and trans fat will strip away the vital nutritions resulting in nutritional deficiency causing many health problems including malnutrition of brain cells.
7. Limit intake of alcohol
Alcohol damage of the cerebral cortex and hippocampus region of the brain results in loss of memory and communication difficulty.
8. Stop smoking
Smoking depletes the oxygen level in our bloodstream and also causes the hardening, thickening of arteries and promoting calcium sticking to the arterial wall resulting in less nutrition to nourish our brain cells as well as causing rupture of the brain vessels.

please critique my essay about religion if you have the time?
Andy asked:
This is an essay for my catholic school if you’ve read my last 2 post you would understand why
This is an essay for my catholic school if you’ve read my last 2 post you would understand why
Thanks if you read it and gave me feedback!
One by one
One by one, kid by kid, religion is creeping up on us. The effects of religions like Christianity, Catholicism and the other 36,000+ Christian denominations are bringing us down as a society. Whether its indoctrination , crusades, inquisition or just the moral values religions have introduce to the world is devastating. These are only the few examples religion have provided for society that has been left in ruins.
Religions such as the catholic religions, puts a halt to the studies of science and health care. They hold back stem cell research which could be vital in the fight against diseases like cancer, parkinsons, alzheimers, spinal cord injuries and muscle damage. Catholicism also prevents abortion and the use of contraceptives which has resulted in millions becoming infected with HIV/AIDS as well as millions of unwanted pregnancies which creates pressure on impoverished societies.
Indoctrination is a tactic used to brainwash children at younger ages. Rational Thinking is skewed and damaged by superstitious notions which cannot be backed up by evidence. For centuries, even before people learned to read and write, religion has continuously rejected the findings of objective Science. In 1632, when Galileo published his book, Dialogues on the Two Chief World Systems, he was summoned by Pope Urban VIII a year later to appear before the Inquisition in Rome. Just for asserting the his ideas that the Earth was not the center of the universe or that the earth is not flat, Galileo was then sentenced to life imprisonment in a Roman dungeon for most of his life. This stops education and could put us back in the Dark Ages.
There is a connection that parents who are theists have children with lower IQ’s. These children will be less intrested in science. Religious people, who will live in that adulthood, will become less intelligent compared the to people around them. Research has already proven this. Paul Bell in Mensa Magazine, 2002, reviewed all studies taken of religion and IQ. He concluded:”Of 43 studies carried out since 1927 on the relationship between religious belief and one’s intelligence and/or educational level, all but four found an inverse connection. That is, the higher one’s intelligence or education level, the less one is likely to be religious or hold “beliefs” of any kind.”
Religions since the beginning of time has been to control the masses, but it is the 21st Century now, and we shouldn’t let religion blind us anymore. The time to put a end to religion has come. Being an indoctrinated theist since I was born has put a toll on my life, but now that I further the study on my religion and world religion, I can proudly call myself an atheist and fight what I believe in, and I hope you can to.
credits goes to CASE also im sorry i took that paragraph i tried to rephrase it but it sucked =x
to gene b i wasnt trying to disprove god and reading that book you call a bible have you read the OT yet? im sure the OT preached all good right?

Alzheimer’s Disease and Brain Function – 3 Things You Should Know
Susan Nickerson asked:
Alzheimer’s disease is a debilitating disorder affecting large numbers of our aging population. Alarmingly, the incidence of Alzheimer’s is on the rise.
There are over 5 million Americans suffering from Alzheimer’s already, and that figure will most likely increase drastically over the next 10 years as the baby boomer generation approaches their 60’s and 70’s.
So what exactly is the relationship between Alzheimer’s disease and brain function? Are there steps you can take to help maintain your brain function as you age to prevent the onset of this disorder?
Dr. Dharma Singh Khalsa, President and Medical Director of the Alzheimer’s Research and Prevention Foundation (ARPF), believes there are. He has advocated a series of healthy lifestyle changes which should help you maintain your mental abilities as you get older.
The following three areas are part of Dr. Khalsa’s Alzheimer’s prevention plan promoted by the ARPF. By adhering to them, you will have a greater chance at maintaining proper brain function into your later years.
1. Several studies have indicated that a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants will help prevent the mental decline brought on by Alzheimer’s.
Omega-3 fatty acids have been found to help repair the synapses in your brain damaged by the formation of plaques and tangles, which mark the brains of Alzheimer’s patients. Antioxidants prevent the production of free radicals in your body, which when present in excess, can kill your brain cells.
Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in most seafood, especially salmon, trout, and albacore tuna, as well as in certain green leafy vegetables such as spinach.
Foods rich in vitamins C and E are also an excellent source of antioxidants. Blueberries, grapes, cranberries, papaya, apples, and green leafy vegetables will provide you with plenty of antioxidants in your diet.
2. Recent research has identified a strong link between stress and the development of Alzheimer’s disease later in life.
Stress hormones have also been found to speed up the production of plaques and tangles in your brain. Studies have found that people prone to stress were twice as likely to develop Alzheimer’s as their lower stressed counterparts.
It is important to employ stress management techniques in your life. Some of the most effective techniques include mind-body exercises, meditation, hypnosis, deep breathing, massage, and yoga.
3. Both physical and mental exercise have been found to increase brain function. It is essential that you regularly engage in both physical and mental activities so that you keep your mind sharp.
Physical exercise will help ensure that proper levels of oxygen reach your brain. Like any other muscle in your body, your brain needs sufficient levels of oxygen to function properly.
Good methods of physical exercise include brisk walking, jogging, participation in sports, dance classes, and hiking.
There is also growing evidence that people who challenge their mind on a regular basis maintain higher levels of brain function. Your brain is a muscle. If you don’t use it frequently, it will atrophy. This will make you more susceptible to Alzheimer’s disease.
Reading, writing, learning a new activity, and crossword puzzles are all good mental activities to keep your brain sharp. And of course, mind-body exercises work well here as well.
By paying close attention to these three areas in your life, prevention of Alzheimer’s disease and brain function should continue smoothly well into old age.

Can Exercise Help Prevent Alzheimer’s Disease?
Tracie Johanson asked:
Without a doubt, an Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis is perhaps the most frightening prognosis that can be received. Debilitating at best, Alzheimer’s symptoms are so serious that most people with advanced stage Alzheimer’s require full-time care.
Approximately 4.5 million people in the United States currently have Alzheimer’s, a number that is expected to climb as high as 16 million by 2050 as the baby boom generation ages. The risk of contracting Alzheimer’s disease rises as we age, affecting 10 percent of people older than age 65 and 50 percent of individuals over age 85.
Although much progress has been made in the fields of Alzheimer’s medication, Alzheimer’s care and even Alzheimer’s treatment, researchers have thus far been unable to pin down the elusive Alzheimer’s cure.
The Alzheimer’s Association speaks of two Alzheimer’s research goals: 1. To prevent onset of the disease in those who are at risk but not yet afflicted; 2. To treat and delay progression of the disease in those who already have the symptoms.
While Alzheimer’s disease treatment is surely an admirable goal, and one that we all need to support, focusing on Alzheimer’s prevention may yield more immediate results.
Alzheimer’s disease prevention tips provided by the Alzheimer’s Assoc include staying mentally active, being socially involved and adopting a brain-healthy diet (a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet full of vegetables). Recent Alzheimer’s disease research has also discovered a link between regular exercise and a decreased risk of contracting the illness.
“A study in Finland of 1,500 elderly people found that those who were obese in middle age were twice as likely to develop dementia when they got old as those who were of normal weight. For those who also had high cholesterol and high blood pressure in middle age, the risk of dementia was six times higher than those who were not affected” (source: Philadelphia (Reuters); Mon Jul 19, 3:42 PM ET; by Jon Hurdle).
Professor of neuroscience and psychiatry and at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Joseph T. Coyle states that regular mental and physical activity may help to improve the chances of Alzheimer’s prevention: “Crossword puzzles are not bad for you, and they may actually help prevent the onset of dementia. So I would say get regular exercise…..and find a hobby that you enjoy that’s intellectually challenging”.
Yet another expert to weigh in on the Alzheimer’s exercise link is Dr. Lawrence Whalley with the School of Medicine at Scotland’s University of Aberdeen. “Basically, whatever’s good for your heart is good for your head. Mortality of vascular disease in the United States was halved between 1965 and 1995, and this is one of the great public-health successes of the 20th century. And what people are looking for in dementia prevention is the same, because the factors that everyone knows predispose to heart disease also predispose to dementia”.
If regular exercise can indeed help to prevent Alzheimer’s disease, then how much exercise is needed? Less than you might think. Researchers from Sweden found that “…..those who, in their middle years, exercised during their free time at least twice a week were 60 percent less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease compared to sedentary men and women who exercised less than twice a week. The active individuals were also 50 percent less likely to develop other forms of dementia and memory loss” (source: alzinfo.org).
What the public needs to realize, however, is that just any old workout won’t necessarily deliver the Alzheimer’s preventing power they seek. In the Sweden study, for example, exercise was defined as physical activity lasting at least 20 to 30 minutes and intense enough to cause breathlessness and sweating. That’s a far cry from the lightweight, low impact and effortless ‘exercise’ embraced by many weekend workout buffs.
The bottom line is that, while scientists still haven’t identified an Alzheimer’s cause or cure, the amount of Alzheimer’s information we have available has given us some useful tools to help us prevent this dreaded disease. One such resource is regular exercise, which has been proven to reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease in the majority of people.
While there is certainly no guarantee that consistent exercise, or any other treatment for that matter, will provide full Alzheimer’s protection, it can be stated with certainty that those people who regularly engage in strenuous exercise will lower their risk of Alzheimer’s. This fact, added to all the other myriad benefits of regular exercise, makes a strong case for joining a health club, gym or fitness center today.

Medical Professionals Advice only on Preventing Alzheimers?
Denise T asked:
Over the years I have heard curry powder, brain exercises, etc. can help in preventing Alzheimers.
Over the years I have heard curry powder, brain exercises, etc. can help in preventing Alzheimers.
More recently I heard they found where in the brain it is caused and so technically they have isolated the chromosome (?) or whatever causes it.
My friend’s mother has Alzheimers and I am seeing signs of it now in him. Can any professionals in the medical field tell me if there is anything that can be done in the early stages to help my friend? I hate just sitting by and “watching it happen.”
