Tips To Preserve Memory

Physical exercise is one of the best things you can do to preserve memory. Consistent aerobic activity increases the size of your hippocampus, the part of the brain linked with verbal memory and learning. Eat a Mediterranean or MIND diet, rich in healthy fats, vegetables and fish. Get 7 to 9 hours of sleep a night. Engage in new, challenging activities to stimulate your brain, such as learning a new language or playing a musical instrument. Stay socially connected; interaction with family and friends stimulates attention and memory. Keep your cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure in the normal range.

Stay Safe In The Heat

Older adults may have a tougher time dealing with the heat. Stay hydrated; drink water or other non-alcoholic/non-caffeinated beverages regularly, even if you don't feel thirsty. Limit outdoor activities or chores during the hottest part of the day. If your home is not cooled, try to spend time in places that are air-conditioned, such as shopping malls, libraries or at a friend's home. If you need help getting to a cooler place, ask a friend or relative or take a taxi. Don't stand outside waiting for a bus. If you experience headache, dizziness, confusion or nausea, seek medical attention to see if you require treatment for a heat-related illness.

Eating Times May Affect Weight

Developing two simple habits may help maintain lower weight. Researchers analyzed about 7,000 adults ages 40 to 65 and found that fasting longer overnight and eating breakfast earlier were associated with lower BMI. This means having an early dinner and an early breakfast with no eating between those two meals. The target was finishing dinner by about 7:30 or 8 p.m. and then having breakfast around 8 a.m., thereby having a consistent overnight fast of about 12 hours. They also found that skipping breakfast, even though it meant a longer fast, was not as beneficial as eating breakfast earlier.

Music & Anxiety

A new study found that when music is paired with auditory beat stimulation (ABS), people with anxiety who listened to it significantly reduced their symptoms. Researchers witnessed a link between how much time they spent listening and their mood. Participants who spent as little as 24 minutes listening experienced the strongest overall reduction in anxiety. Those who listened for only 12 minutes didn't see as much improvement. Participants also had a reduction in distress, jitteriness and irritability and experienced more emotional balance overall. Participants were already on anti-anxiety medication, so listening to ABS music might be a good adjunct therapy.

Protect Your Eyes In The Sun

Select sunglasses that provide 100% protection against both UVA and UVB radiation, often referred to as UV400. Too much exposure to UV light can raise the risk of cataracts, corneal damage and macular degeneration. Styles that wrap around your head offer extra protection on the sides. Wear a wide-brimmed hat in the sun as well as sunglasses to protect yourself from both direct sunlight above and reflected light at ground level from water, sand and even snow. Limit time in the sun during peak hours, usually 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Clouds can allow UV rays to pass through, so protect your eyes on cloudy days, too.

Oatmeal Diet & LDL Cholesterol

A 2-day intensive diet of mostly oatmeal may help reduce LDL cholesterol, according to a new study. The sudden influx of oats changed the gut microbiome, which in turn affected how cholesterol is processed. Participants ate a diet made up almost exclusively of oatmeal (300g of oatmeal a day, 100g at each meal) for 2 days. They were allowed to supplement the oatmeal with a little fruit or vegetables. Overall, they consumed about half of their usual daily calories. The participants lost about 4 lbs., saw a slight reduction in blood pressure and had a 10% drop in LDL cholesterol. The LDL benefit lasted for 6 weeks after the diet.

Vitamin D & IBD

Vitamin D supplementation may help “reset” the body's immune system and improve gut health in those with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who have low levels of vitamin D. In a recent study, researchers found that after 3 months of high-dose vitamin D (50,000 IU orally once a week), the majority of patients reported reduced symptoms and better quality of life. Analysis of blood, stool and symptoms reflected lower inflammatory markers. The vitamin D appeared to promote the growth of beneficial gut microbes. More study is needed, but those with IBD may want to talk with their doctors regarding their vitamin D blood levels and supplementation.
