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.

Study Suggests Kava Plant is Natural Anxiety Remedy
The kava plant, a psychoactive crop found natively in islands throughout the Pacific, may serve as a natural treatment for chronic anxiety, according to a recent study conducted by Australian researchers. In the study, subjects diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder took tablets containing kava extract for six consecutive weeks, and experienced significant relief from their anxiety symptoms in comparison to a group of subjects that were given placebos instead. Previous studies have also suggested that kava can relieve anxiety, though some of these studies cautioned that kava could cause liver toxicity. The new study worked toward disproving this notion. The notion could have widespread benefits, as the Anxiety and Depression Association of America reports that around 40 million adults suffer from anxiety in the U.S. alone.

Marijuana Use Lowers Diabetes Risk – Study
A new study by researchers at the University of Arizona College of Medicine has come to conclusions that are surprising the entire medical community. According to the study, people who regularly use marijuana have a lower risk of developing Type 2 diabetes than their peers. Previous studies have already indicated that people who use marijuana consume more calories than those who don’t, but in spite of this, they tend to have lower body mass indexes and are less prone to obesity. These findings make it less surprising that marijuana use would have some influence on diabetes risk. The new study focused specifically on how marijuana impacts insulin levels and overall metabolism. The study also seems to indicate that the scientific community may be calling for further research into the potential health benefits of marijuana.

Want to Lower Your Risk of Heart Disease? Get a Dog
A new report from the American Heart Association indicates that pet ownership is a great way for a person to reduce their risk of heart disease, especially if that pet is a dog. According to Dr. Glenn Levine, a medicine professor and author of the report, many studies have been conducted on this phenomenon over the past 10 years or so. The AHA report explains that owning a pet could have a positive influence on several risk factors that contribute to heart disease, such as poor exercise habits, obesity and hypertension, also known as high blood pressure.

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.
