Study Finds Ginkgo Biloba Ineffective

The herb ginkgo biloba's reputation as a fountain of mental acuity has been tarnished by a recent six-year study, which showed it has no effect on the onset or progression of dementia or Alzheimer's disease.

The research, which was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, was performed on 3,069 people between the ages of 75 and 96. Of those, 1,545 took a red pill containing 120 milligrams twice a day of the ginkgo extract EGb 761, the same used in Ginkgold products sold by Nature's Way. The other 1,524 participants took a red pill containing only placebos. Neither group knew what they were taking. All the pills were came from Schwabe Pharmaceuticals, a large German maker of supplements. (Read more about Study Finds Ginkgo Biloba Ineffective)

Five More Predictors of Long Life

It's amazing the range of common attitudes and conditions in people's lives that seem to consistently contribute to their living for a long time. Here are five more of them:

A circle of close friends. Research has shown that chronic stress has a weakening effect on the immune system and ages cells faster, reducing longevity by four to eight years. "Good interpersonal relationships act as a buffer against stress," says Micah Sadigh, an associate professor of psychology at Cedar Crest College, in Allentown, Pa. (Read more about Five More Predictors of Long Life)

Four Predictors of Long Life

Evidence is mounting that some rather surprising attributes and habits of a person's life can pretty well foretell whether that man or woman will live to a ripe old age. Here are four of them:

-- Having strong legs. Leg strength translates into good flexibility, balance and endurance, which are crucial for avoiding the falls and other accidents that shorten so many seniors' lives. It's good to do squats, lunges and stair climbing to kill two birds with one stone: losing weight and gaining strength. (Read more about Four Predictors of Long Life)

Five Healthful Brain Exercises

Doctors repeatedly counsel that we should be greatly concerned about maintaining muscle mass and building aerobic (heart and lung) health as we age.

But just as important, many say, is to work on the health of our brains. As Americans live longer and longer in this, the 21st century, the threat of contracting Alzheimer's disease or some other form of dementia is growing. This threat can be reduced, medical observers say, by practicing the following five exercises. (Read more about Five Healthful Brain Exercises)

An Alternative, Ethical Source for Stem Cells

A new source of stem cells could be as good as embryonic stem cells for researching and developing treatments for a range of serious diseases, and without the ethical implications of embryonic stem cells. Scientists from Germany and the UK have discovered this new source: routine biopsies of men's testicles.

Stem cells from embryos have the potential to become any cell in the body, since a whole person grows from a single fertilized egg. But ethical issues arise because extracting stem cells requires the destruction of embryos. (Read more about An Alternative, Ethical Source for Stem Cells)

As Goes Oral Health, So Goes General Health

Many studies are showing a persistent connection between gum disease and other ailments that afflict corners of the body far afield from the teeth.

Specifically, when gingivitis (early-stage gum disease) or full-blown periodontal disease is present, it's often the case that doctors find that a patient has diabetes, kidney disorders, preterm labor, certain types of cancer, osteoporosis or even Alzheimer's disease. (Read more about As Goes Oral Health, So Goes General Health)

Virtual Reality Room to Treat Psychological Disorders

A $6 million virtual reality "immersive room" that's been constructed in a cyberpsychology lab in Canada will be used to treat patients with everything from air-travel phobias to gambling addictions to eating disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The innovative, high-tech psychotherapeutic tool is presided over by Stéphane Bouchard, who holds the Canada Research Chair in Clinical Cyberpsychology and is co-founder of the cyberpsychology lab at the Université du Québec en Outaouais in Gatineau, Quebec. Bouchard's virtual reality room is the only one of the 10 in the world devoted exclusively to clinical psychology. (Read more about Virtual Reality Room to Treat Psychological Disorders)

ALZHEIMER’S AND EXERCISE

There is a growing body of evidence that shows that people can delay and even prevent the onset of dementia by living a healthier lifestyle when young, and that includes exercising.
We don’t completely understand what triggers Alzheimer’s disease and dementia in general. For decades doctors have been preaching we should pump, run, and row our way to good health. But hitting the pavement and the gym for your brain? That’s exactly what a growing number of scientists are advising their patients. (Read more about ALZHEIMER’S AND EXERCISE)

Alzheimer's Risk

There is a growing concern that too many Alzheimer's patients are being given dangerous medicines which as a result, are hastening their death. (Read more about Alzheimer's Risk)

Investigación sugiere alternativas para retrasar el Mal de Alzheimer

Un Nuevo estudio publicado en la Conferencia Internacional de Prevención de la Demencia el 11 de Junio, sugiere que el tratar otros factores relacionados con la salud como, diabetes, presión alta y colesterol alto, pueden ayudar a retrasar el ataque y la severidad de la demencia causada por el mal de Alzheimer
