What too little (or too much water) does to your brain

Changes in your cognitive abilities can start subtly… Maybe you forget names and words more often. Doctor’s appointments and lunch dates slip your mind. You lose your train of thought in conversations. As this stuff happens more regularly, you may become concerned. Is it the big D — dementia? But before you start thinking worst-case scenarios, there’s something you should do… Check your hydration levels. You’re probably well aware that…

Could a resveratrol supplement fight Lyme disease?

It might be hard to believe it, but spring is on its way. You know what that means… Summer isn’t far behind either. Or the bugs that come with the season. Not to sound paranoid or anything, but my biggest concern when I get out to enjoy the warm outdoors is not snakes… it’s ticks. For good reason. The bite of some species of ticks carries the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi,…

The diet that improves aging (even in nursing home residents!)

I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again… the secret to feeling and looking young isn’t in a supplement or a serum. In fact, it’s not in anything you can buy. It’s inside you… Research shows that the “fountain of youth” is hiding inside your microbiome (the collection of microbes that live in your gut). These microbes impact how long you live, what diseases you do or don’t get…

Your doctor’s go-to treatment for hip and knee pain may actually cause more harm

Osteoarthritis, the most common chronic joint condition, affects over 30 million U.S. adults, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Older age is a definite risk factor, although it can affect someone at any point in their life. In severe osteoarthritis, the cartilage at the ends of bones has broken down, and a person is left with bone-on-bone friction every time they move the affected joint. Needless to say, a…

The common gut infection that leads to long-term tummy trouble

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a mysterious disease. Doctors still don’t know what causes it. And that’s frustrating… You’re stuck with chronic stomach cramping, diarrhea, gas, and other uncomfortable symptoms. And your doctor can’t do much to help. Luckily, for some people with IBS, the true cause could be coming out of the woodwork… It turns out those chronic stomach symptoms may be tied to something that happened to you…

Why the Coronavirus is so hard to contain

It seems that in just the past few days the level of threat we face in the U.S. from Coronavirus has risen sharply. Why? Well, according to the experts, had we been able to stop the epidemic-level spread of the virus at the Chinese border, we had a chance. Yet, once additional countries experienced the same issue (COVID-19 has sickened 90,000 people and spread to more than 70 countries and…

The best morning hack for boosting your brainpower as much as coffee

I remember the days when a cup of coffee made me feel unstoppable. That caffeine high would carry me through college classes, term papers, finals, and work shifts. Then one day, the very thing that made me feel unstoppable started making me feel sick — anxious, nauseous, the whole works. I’m not sure exactly what caused the shift, but here’s what I do know — to this day, I can…

5 healthy cooking oils and how to use them in the kitchen

Cooking oil overwhelm is REAL. I know because I deal with it myself. There are so many oils to choose from. And there’s so much conflicting information about which oils are healthy… and which aren’t. Here’s the first thing to know when choosing cooking oils: not all saturated fat is bad. For a long time, the FDA and American Heart Association told you saturated fat was “bad fat” that should…

Why senior adults that tee off regularly could live up to 5 years longer

I’ve always turned my nose up at golf. Not that I’m a real sports nut otherwise, but it just never seemed like “real exercise” to me, or like a real sport. Ever watch a game of golf on TV? Not very exciting. The truth is, it always seemed like an “old person’s game.” But now that I am an “older person,” I’m seeing things differently. And I’m re-thinking the possibility…
