Re: Dha and lpc dha associated with worse AD progression??
I have been looking at ways to increase lpc dha which I thought would be neuroprotective but I came across this study that had a bad correlation between dha and AD progression only in people with apoe4. What should I make of this? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8112902/#fcab085-B54 Th...

Brain Care Score
A team of researchers created a score that integrates behaviors and measurements that reflect how well one is taking care of one's brain to prevent dementia and stroke. The score (well, a somewhat modified version of it) was validated using data from UK Biobank. See The predictive validity of a Brai...

Re: How often to test?
If there is a specific parameter you are trying to change and are implementing a specific lifestyle change towards that goal, it is generally thought that you should be able to see a change after 3 months of being reasonably consistent about it.

Re: fasting glucose and a1c
Regarding fiber, maybe try foods that have relatively high fiber to net carbohydrates? From looking at common nuts, pecans look promising. Among other foods, I would try avocado and edamame.

Re: fasting glucose and a1c
The cashews were a ridiculous spike. The walnuts barely registered at all. This makes sense, cashews are high in carbohydrates, walnuts are low, and much higher in (good) fats. Other nuts to try: almonds and peanuts (if no allergies) as they are relatively high in protein. Almonds are also high in ...

Re: Aluminum as a causal factor of Alzheimer's - Introduction of myself to the community
Good News ! My husband and I reduced our body burden of aluminum by 40% in the past 2 years by drinking silica rich mineral water. We are now below the Healthy Adult category. My husband is 77 years old and I am 69. See table below. These results are incredible as they prove that drinking 4 cups of...

Re: Longitudinal study: Vitamin D supplementation associated with 40% lower dementia incidence
Do be careful with higher than recommended vitamin D serum levels. At some point (which may vary individually) they may cause heart palpitations (this happened to a friend of mine).

I found a short video by Gil Carvalho about J shaped curves.

Re: Thomas Dayspring talk: ApoE in the Periphery and in the Brain
From my limited understanding, HDL quantity seems to have a "J" shaped benefit distribution. Beware of the J shape. Often J-shaped curves for health outcomes are seen when measurements are taken at one point in time, and the apparent 'optimal' level turns out to be very different from the...

Re: Chronically low HRV
I have been able to raise my HRV by doing breathing exercises at bedtime. 10 rounds of inhaling for a count of 4, holding my breath for a count of 7, exhaling for a count of 8. But it only works for nights when I get to spend at least 5-6 hours in bed. I don't think these exercises can overcome the ...
