A new study analyzed older adults who ate 60 grams of unsalted skin-roasted peanuts every day for 16 weeks. Scientists found that about two servings daily could increase verbal memory and blood flow to the brain.

New research confirms that regular physical activity doesn’t just strengthen your body — it significantly boosts brain power, memory, and cognitive performance at any age.

Foods like extra-virgin olive oil, berries and eggs have nutrients to benefit brain health. More brain health-promoting habits include exercise, stress management and sleep.

In the mice with large-brain primate microbes, the researchers found increased expression of genes associated with energy production and synaptic plasticity, the physical process of learning in the brain. In the mice with smaller-brain primate microbes, there was less expression of these processes.

In animal studies, keeping brain NAD + levels in balance prevented Alzheimer’s from developing. Even more striking, restoring NAD + balance after the disease was already advanced allowed the brain to repair damage and fully recover cognitive function.

A new study suggests that aspartame consumption may be linked to decreased heart and brain function. The artificial sweetener, found in diet sodas and sugar-free products, was linked to fat loss, mild stiffening of the heart,

A new method of reversing Alzheimer's shows promise in an animal study, as researchers at University Hospitals restore brain energy molecule NAD+.

A Cedars-Sinai study has identified a previously unknown role for astrocyte cells in how the brain responds to damage and disease. Cedars-Sinai researchers have identified a biological repair process that may eventually contribute to new treatments for spinal cord injuries,

This exploratory study in healthy young adults found that plasma sodium levels within the normal clinical range are significantly associated with resting motor threshold, an indirect measure of corticospinal excitability.

Exercise helps boost brain health, one study shows. Here, researchers and experts explain the findings, plus share the workouts you should try to get the perks.
