Lifestyle and Nutrient Modulators of Neuroplasticity, Brain Health and Energy

Age Related Cognitive Decline The projected demographic shift towards a global elderly population reaching 2.1 billion by the year 2050 implies a significant escalation in the incidence of age-related disorders, which carry profound personal, social, and economic implications. This is further exacerbated by evidence linking nonpathological aging to functional deterioration in critical neural substrates underpinning cognitive faculties. Empirical research has consistently demonstrated that aging...

Biotransformation: The Key to Detoxification and Optimal Health

Biotransformation is an intricate biochemical process, and is a cornerstone of human health. It is the body's remarkable ability to convert a wide array of substances, including drugs, toxins; both endogenous and exogenous, and dietary compounds, into different chemical forms. While the liver serves as the primary hub for biotransformation, the kidneys and intestines also play vital roles in this complex process[1]. More recently the importance of the human microbiome as a key community that affect...

Food As Medicine

An article in Nature Medicine out in October 2022 sets out some of the developing understanding of using food as medicine[1]. Whilst for those practitioners already immersed in this strategic use it seems obvious, it is important to remember that many practitioners are not. In turn, many people and rather depressingly most government ministers are comfortable with the benign approach to food as energy/profit only. The authors of this paper identify two important areas (in their opinion) that need...

Normal, Nostalgia & the importance of Circadian Clocks

“Nostalgia” was first identified in 1688 by Swiss physician Johannes Hofer who recorded the impact of nostos (homecoming) and algia (pain) on Swiss soldiers abroad. He mused that nostalgia is part of what it means to be “modern”. No longer recognised as a medical diagnosis, this gnawing feeling of loss (often exaggerated by those who seek to politicise it) speaks to a world of rapid transformation and the severing of settled identities. It can be seen as collective or personal, reflecting a societal...

The ‘cross talk’ between sleep, nutrition, and immunity

Sleep affects various immune parameters, and is associated with reduced infection risk and can improve infection outcome, autoimmunity, and vaccination responses[1]. Adequate nutrition is an essential factor that also supports the immune system[2]. Not only as it provides fuel for rapidly metabolising immune cells, but also many micronutrients operate as regulators of the immune system, including the generation of cytokines, antibodies, and many immune-active proteins and metabolites. Many modifiable...

Food for Brain Health

Our brain is a remarkable and flexible organ, responsive to numerous stimuli throughout our lifespan. Food is one of those inputs over which a high level of personal control exists, yet for many the concept that our brain can be enhanced, sustained, and evolved by the selection of what is eaten remains a mystery. From early development to periods of age-related decline the long-term timeline represents a series of milestone opportunities to intervene, engage and support optimal brain health and sustainability...
