The Magical Health Qualities of Olive Oil
Did you know you can consume one food daily with cardioprotective, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, weight control, and anti-aging characteristics, which also fight food-borne inflammation? As an internal medicine physician, I recommend the daily consumption of extra virgin olive oil as a core component of a healthy, low-inflammation lifestyle. Olive oil is not only anti-inflammatory, but it …
Overnutrition and Neurodegenerative Diseases
Overnutrition is a term that refers to how excessive nutrients can damage the human body. The modern diet has become a common source of excessive nutrients and increases dangerous levels of systemic inflammation within the body. The stress from the inflammation will activate the genes within our DNA and trigger or worsen common medical conditions …
Reversal of Alzheimer’s Dementia
Over the last six years, advances in neuroscience have begun unraveling the mystery of a population of cells within the brain called primed-microglia. Primed-microglia are an inflammatory and destructive form of white blood cell that are triggered by 4 different known mechanisms; encephalitis (brain tissue infection), repeated brain trauma such as that occurring in the …
Inflamm-Aging
Aging is associated with low-grade chronic inflammatory state referred to “inflamm-ageing” or inflammaging. Inflammaging is abnormal and unhealthy. It is associated with a chronically increased level of inflammatory chemicals within the blood stream called cytokines, and looks as if there is a chronic infection within the body but none exists. Inflammaging accompanies virtually all …
Are you AGE-ing?
You might be aging too fast … from how you cook your food. The manner and the temperature in which we cook our food have a large impact on our brains and body. Higher cooking temperatures form unnatural and unhealthy substances referred to as advanced glycation end products. These substances are ironically abbreviated as “AGEs” …

Fish Oil’s Impact On Cognition and Brain Structure Identified in New Study
Researchers at Rhode Island Hospital’s Alzheimer’s Disease and Memory Disorders Center have found positive associations between fish oil supplements and cognitive functioning as well as differences in brain structure between users and non-users of fish oil supplements. The findings suggest possible benefits of fish oil supplements on brain health and aging. News Source: Fish oil’s …
