A gift ftom the Plum Village Monastics which was created by Thich Nhat Hanh after he was exiled from his beloved Vietnam because he spoke the truth about that war. For more than 30 year this refuge has grown to be place of comfort and hope allowing untold many, including me, to find their own way home.

I just finished listening to this extraordinarily good podcast. Every woman who wants to maintain a healthy brain should listen to it. My respect for Dr. Lisa Mosconi's work has increased by about 1000%. What she actually says about hormone replacement therapy (among many other things) is much more nuanced than what others say she has said about this topic. It is worth investing your time to listen to the entire podcast.

What Every Woman MUST KNOW to PREVENT Alzheimer’s | Neuroscientist Lisa Mosconi X Rich Roll Podcast Rich sits down with neuroscientist Dr. Lisa Mosconi to discuss menopause and brain health, Alzheimer’s and dementia, neuro-nutrition, hormone replacement the...

Notably, cumulative loneliness is more associated with accelerated memory aging in women than men. And it is not just declining estrogen levels that make women twice as likely to develop Alzheimer's as men. Social determinants, like loneliness and perceived invisibility, play a critical and often overlooked role.

Cumulative Loneliness Associated With Accelerated Memory Aging in Older Adults - Neuroscience News Feeling lonely for extended periods of time was associated with more rapid memory decline in those aged over 65.

A healthy diet and a healthy lifestyle support a healthy brain just as much as they support a healthy heart. . Therefore everyday you are either moving towards a brighter mind or slidging down a slipery slope toward the dimming of the lights of your mind.

Your Brain Needs Proper Diet and Exercise Too - Neuroscience News Researchers explore how diet, exercise, and social engagement can help stave off cognitive impairment and improve overall brain health.

Yet more encouraging evidence that eating a diet filled with the colors of the rainbow can protect you against dementia and help you maintain a Brighter Mind for Life.

What are carotenoids, and can they protect against dementia? | Cognitive Vitality | Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation Carotenoids are pigments produced by many vegetables (carrot, sweet potato, spinach, kale, pepper, pumpkin, etc.) and fruits (mango, orange, apricot, kiwi, grapes, etc.), often producing bright orange, yellow, or red colors. Carotenoids act as antioxidants and are often associated with eye health, c...

Great News! Even those with a strong family history or genetic risk for Alzheimer's can dramatically reduce their risk by simply following these seven healthy habits. Wow, it is nice to see a study that supports the value of lifestyle and dietary change.

Seven Healthy Habits Linked to Lower Risk of Dementia in Those With Genetic Risk - Neuroscience News From keeping active and eating a healthy diet to controlling cholesterol and reducing sugar intake, researchers report on seven simple lifestyle changes older adults with genetic risk factors can make to reduce the chance of developing dementia.

Delicious and encouraging news: Eating half a cup of blueberries a day can reduce your risk of dementia. Improved thinking and memory were found after just twelve weeks in this study. Many studies are based on animals, often mice. Not this one. Actual live human beings saw an improvement in their cognitive ability and focus and improved blood sugar control. Wow,

Regular Blueberry Consumption May Reduce Risk of Dementia - Neuroscience News Middle-aged people who consume blueberries every day may have a reduced risk of developing dementia, a new study reports.

This is great news that was shared by Dr. Dale Bredesen, a leading light in the field of brain health.

Physical activity may protect your brain as you age It doesn't need to be intense exercise. Adding just a few more steps a day could help protect your brain from the damaging effects of aging.

Sad news indeed. I read the entire study, and no surprise women were twice as likely to be diagnosed with anxiety than men. And high anxiety over a lifetime increases dementia and Alzheimer's risk. Women also are twice as likely to be diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Is there a connection? Of course, there is a connection. I am frustrated by the accepted view in the medical and scientific community that the increased risk for Alzheimer's in women is due to decreased estrogen after menopause. Well, these are young women. Their higher rates of anxiety cannot be explained by low estrogen levels since their estrogen levels are at their peak during these years. Perhaps it has more to do with their lives.

Prescribing for Anxiety Has Increased in Those Under Age 35 - Neuroscience News Study reveals a significant uptick in the prescription of anxiolytics and benzodiazepines in people under the age of 35.

Wow a green Mediterranean diet shows even greater benefits for the brain, than often-cited Mediterranean diet.

What is the Green Mediterranean diet, and can it prevent brain atrophy? | Cognitive Vitality | Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation Numerous studies have shown brain health benefits of the Mediterranean diet, which consists of high amounts of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fish, poultry, legumes, nuts, and monounsaturated fats (e.g., olive oil) [1; 2; 3]. How is the Green Mediterranean diet different? The Green Mediterranean....

How interesting and encouraging! Individuals who eat healthy diets filled with natural as opposed to artificial ingredients foods that reflect all the rainbow colors, as seen in this picture, are far more likely to be happy and reasonable in their approach to the world and other people. Here is to blueberries, carrots, and brocolli
