Feeling Younger Than Your Calendar Age. Mindset Is The Fountain Of Youth:
One of the more interesting challenges in health is testing out the “Old Wives’ Tales”.

Does an ounce of prevention really equal a pound of cure? etc.

Because as we’ve said here before, Ancient Man was not stupid.

Read on to find out how researchers in Germany are figuring out this one too…

Psilocybin’s Effect On Depression. Mushrooms Join Album Of Greatest Hits:
So the world loves vitamins and supplements.

Why? Because we believe that they are more “natural” than pharmaceuticals.

We come from the Earth, and so do the vitamins & supplements ultimately.

They also seem to carry fewer serious side-effects when used in moderation.

-Which is the ideal drug. All good direct-effects. None on the side. None bad.

Among the scenarios providers and patients alike are looking for an ideal “drug” to address? -Depression.

Well, Yale’s team just found a very big piece of that puzzle…

Learning Skills And Training Intervals. Effective Study Is Freaky:
Part of a good, full life is lifelong learning.

And that is something that doesn’t just end with high-school or college.

Whatever it is, self-improvement reading, sudoku, new languages, authoritative lute-shredding, we’re all “graduate students” of a sort.

So of course, one of the things we try to do is make learning easier and faster.

Like with brain-pow supplements like phosphatidylserine or l-theanine.

But if the NDS’s research team has anything to say about it, we might have just gotten concrete insight on an even more-powerful tool to turbocharge your brain…

3 Biological Years Younger In 8 Weeks On A Surprising & Nerdy Plan:
Two of the things we’re all worried about are weight-loss and aging.

But in a strange twist, science has recently started referring to aging as a disease,

Which means in many ways, they’re beginning to think they can treat it; -a little.

Lots of us are already trying this by doing things like avoiding ultra-processed foods,

And also getting into eating plans with interesting health-benefits, like intermittent-fasting.

But a team at the Helfgott Research Institute are experimenting with a very specific anti-aging program with some interesting results…

Ultra-Processed Food & Aging. The Wrong Kind Of Back To The Future:
Most of us get told to eat better all the time.

It’s the most popular topic in health and wellness other than bizarre crash diets.

And fair enough, because most of us probably should be eating a little bit better.

But the strangest thing about the deep-dives on this subject is that Dr. Neal Barnard’s superfoods for your brain and Joel Fuhrman’s emphasis on whole foods and micronutrients are looking like just the tip of the iceberg.

Because a Spanish research team is finding out that for a certain class of foods, the problems in your diet can get way worse than just you becoming a little fatter…

Alcohol Consumption’s Surprising Heart-Protective Effect Against Stress:
I don’t always drink Dos Equis, but when I do, it saves my life.

One recent narrative is how interconnected our body’s systems are in the big picture.

For example, we’re learning more & more about the Gut-Brain Axis and how your stomach & GI tract act like a second brain.

Not to mention that most of the feel-good chemicals for it are made in your gut.

And despite a list of recent cautions by regulatory groups,

A group of Mass General researchers is finding out that there is not just a cardio-to-brain health-axis, but it also seems to run the other way, too…

Inflammation’s Effect On Brain Health. Finding The De-Aging Switch:
So we all learned in the Neal Barnard post on diet, that certain foods can work against your brain, but some can work for it, too.

And as time goes by, and we all take our fish oil, we’re finding out that one of Dr. Neal’s minor notes is actually a big deal.

Inflammation.

In that video, he shares a very interesting way to deal with it using diet.

And it turns out that more people might need that help according to a new report on brain health…
