It was announced at the Walk to End Alzheimer’s event at Lighthouse Park in New Haven, Connecticut in October 2010 that based on current statistics 1 in 2 people will develop Alzheimer’s disease (AD). What can we do to change that? Scientists have known that this disease is typically associated with tangles and plaque in the brain, but the exact cause of these abnormalities has been hard to determine. We may now, however, be closer to a solution. Aaccording to Dr. Suzanne DeLaMonte, a Neuropathologist who regards AD as a brain form of diabetes. Most diabetics have Type 2 diabetes mellitus in which the body cells become resistant to insulin signals. In the early stages, insulin is not very effective in helping the brain to metabolize sugar, and so brain cells nearly starve to death. The pancreas increases insulin output to encourage cells to take up more sugar from the blood. These high levels may damage small blood vessels in the brain, and eventually lead to poor brain circulation, which partly explains why Type 2 diabetes harms the brain. In AD, the brain becomes resistant to insulin, which is otherwise important for neurotransmitter synthesis so neurons can communicate with each other. It also stimulates functions that are necessary in the formation of new memories and tasks that require learning and memory. Continue to read: examiner.com
Citrus extracts show energy burning potential without side effects
Bitter orange extracts plus the citrus flavonoids, naringin and hesperidin, may boost metabolic rates without affecting blood pressure, says a new study with implications for weight management. Read more: nutraingredients-usa.com
