THURSDAY, April 10, 2025 (HealthDay News) -- Heavy drinkers have an increased risk of developing brain lesions associated with memory and thinking problems, a new study says. Folks who imbibe eight or more alcoholic drinks a week have an increased risk of hyaline arteriolosclerosis, or a thickening and narrowing of the small arteries that feed the brain, researchers reported April 9 in the journal Neurology This condition makes it harder for blood to flow, which can damage the brain over [...]

The days of thinking one or two drinks don’t harm your health are gone. In 2023, the World Health Organization confirmed that ‘No level of alcohol consumption is safe for our health’. The more you drink, the more you are prone to deleterious health risks. A new study has found that consuming eight or more alcoholic drinks per week may significantly increase the risk of brain damage. The study, led by Alberto Fernando Oliveira Justo, PhD, of the University of Sao Paulo [...]

Drinking eight glasses of wine or pints of beer a week more than doubles the risk of brain damage compared to teetotallers, suggests new research. Boozers who down eight or more alcoholic drinks every week have an increased risk of brain lesions associated with memory and thinking problems, say scientists. They explained that the condition, caused hyaline arteriolosclerosis, causes the small blood vessels to narrow, becoming thick and stiff - making it harder for blood to flow, which can [...]

Expectativa dos pesquisadores é que uso seja simplificado como um medidor de glicose. Ferramenta tem potencial para verificar taxa de proteína ligada ao aparecimento do Parkinson. A Doença de Parkinson afeta a capacidade do cérebro de controlar os movimentos, levando a tremores, rigidez muscular, lentidão de movimentos e alterações de marcha e equilíbrio Um estudo da Unicamp desenvolveu um sensor com potencial para mensurar a taxa da [...]

Weight training helps protect older people from dementia, according to new research. Volunteers with mild cognitive impairment who practiced strength training showed improvements in memory and brain anatomy after six months, say scientists. Weight training has been previously shown to improve strength and muscle mass, reduce body fat, and contribute to well-being and mental health. Now, a new study conducted at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in Brazil suggests it protects [...]

A new study has found that apart from gains in strength and muscle mass and reduction in body fat, weight training protected the brains of older people against dementia. The results were published in the journal GeroScience. The study involved 44 people with mild cognitive impairment – an intermediate clinical condition between normal aging and Alzheimer’s disease in which cognitive decline is greater than expected for age, indicating a higher risk of dementia. The results showed [...]

A study by the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in Brazil reveals that weight training can protect elderly adults from dementia. Researchers found that strength training improved memory and altered brain anatomy in individuals with mild cognitive impairment. This breakthrough suggests incorporating weight lifting in public health systems as an affordable, effective method to combat dementia and improve cognitive health. Aging is an inevitable part of life. While, there is nothing odd [...]

Ageing brings along a host of health challenges, cognitive decline is one of the major growing concerns, especially for those diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). MCI causes noticeable changes in memory and thinking skills while still maintaining daily functionality. Unfortunately, people with MCI face a heightened risk of developing dementia. While there is no cure, research suggests that positive lifestyle changes, particularly physical exercise, can play a vital role in slowing [...]
