Omega-3 Slows Brain's Aging: A study by researchers from Duke-NUS Medical School and the National University of Singapore highlighted the potential role of omega-3 fatty acids in preserving brain health as we age. The study found that omega-3s, particularly in the form of lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) omega-3 lipids, may help maintain and even improve myelination—the process of forming the protective myelin sheath around nerve fibers, which is crucial for efficient nerve signal transmission. Loss of myelin is associated with aging and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and multiple sclerosis. The study opens avenues for developing dietary strategies to support cognitive function during aging. #ThursdayThoughts #omega3

Vitamin D Has a Positive Effect on Alzheimer's: A 2024 study highlighted by @GrassrootsHealth Nutrient Research Institute found that adults aged 55–69 with vitamin D deficiency had a 19–25% higher risk of developing dementia, including Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia, over 14 years. Even those with vitamin D insufficiency faced a 10–15% increased risk. The study, which controlled for other factors, emphasizes the importance of maintaining healthy vitamin D levels for cognitive health. It also noted that higher omega-3 levels are linked to better brain structure and function, particularly in the hippocampus. This is especially timely as June marks Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month, a reminder of the importance of proactive strategies for brain health. #TuesdayTruths #40GetOnMyLevel60 #VitaminD #All4VitaminD
