Drug May Slow Brain Aging Just Like Caloric Restriction
If you could slow down the aging process of your brain and potentially extend your lifespan by consuming 40% fewer calories per day, would you do it? It is technically possible, as clinical trials have shown that such drastic caloric restrictions can indeed prolong cellular aging. However this strategy could also result in excessive weight loss, poor energy levels and malnourishment, especially if dietary choices aren’t made carefully. Luckily, such drastic measures may not need to be taken to help prevent brain aging. According to a new study conducted on mice, it may be possible to achieve this same anti-aging effect simply by taking a pill. The drug interacts with a certain brain enzyme to mitigate nerve cell loss and cognitive impairment, and could help to prevent Alzheimer’s disease as well.

Pepper Lover? Your Parkinson’s Risk May be Lower
If you’re a fan of peppers – whether they’re bell peppers or hot peppers of any variety – you could be reducing your risk of developing Parkinson’s disease without even realizing it, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Washington. In the study, those who ate peppers twice a week reduced their Parkinson’s risk by 30% in comparison to those who consumed peppers less frequently than once per week. The study seems to indicate that people with early Parkinson’s warning signs might want to increase the number of peppers in their diet. The National Parkinson Foundation lists some early warning signs, including loss of smell, suddenly smaller handwriting, trouble moving, constipation, and dizziness or fainting. These symptoms, combined with sleep trouble, slight tremors, or changes in voice, might warrant a visit to a doctor.

Coffee is Far From the Only Source of Caffeine
Along with energy drinks and certain sodas, coffee is one of the most well known and popular sources of caffeine. However, more and more products are coming on the market that include caffeine as well; sometimes this is made clear to consumers, and other times it’s not. Just recently, Wrigley’s introduced a chewing gum with a caffeine jolt called Alert Energy Caffeine Gum, which includes nearly as much caffeine as a half-cup of coffee. Other companies have already brought their own versions of caffeinated gum to the market as well. Perhaps in response to this growing trend, the Food and Drug Administration is about to more closely examine the health implications associated with the consumption of caffeine, especially as it relates to children, teens and young adults.

Minimizing Diabetes Risk? One Soda Per Day is One Too Many
A recent study indicates that drinking even a single 12-ounce can of soda each day may significantly increase your risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. The study was conducted as part of InterAct, a large, ongoing investigation into how lifestyle and genetic factors influence Type 2 diabetes risk. InterAct is a collaboration between nine countries, including the U.K., Sweden, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Germany, France, Finland, Denmark and Germany.

Red Meat and Heart Disease: Is Saturated Fat Really to Blame?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 715,000 people in the U.S. suffer from a heart attack each year. High blood sugar, smoking and high blood pressure are all known to contribute to the possibility of heart disease and heart attacks. Eating large quantities of red meat also increases your risk of heart disease because it contains high levels of cholesterol and saturated fat – right? While that may be at least partially true, researchers from Ohio’s Cleveland Clinic say that their new study may have identified the truer culprit. According to their study, the primary component in red meat that influences heart disease risk may be l-carnitine, a nutrient also readily available in dietary supplements. What is l-carnitine, and why are people taking it in supplement form if it increases the risk of developing heart disease.
