THE CHASE TO CURE THE ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE CONTINUES...
Over 5 million people currently suffer from the Alzheimer’s disease. Statistics estimate that 1 in 10 people over the age of 65 years are affected by it. The disease process takes approximately 8-10 years to work from detection to death. It starts out slowly as two abnormal protein fragments called ‘plaques’ and ‘tangles’ accumulate in the brain, consistently killing off brain cells.
The ‘plaques’ are formed when sticky protein pieces called ‘amyloid-beta’ (sometimes called “beta-amyloid’) clump together to form the plaques. The tangles are formed when there is an abnormal accumulation of a protein called tau. When tau builds up it detaches from microtubules and clumps with other tau proteins. These clumps build up into threads that eventually become ‘tangles’ inside neurons, which block the neurons in the brain from synaptic communication.
The plaques and tangles begin accumulating in the hippocampus area of the brain, which affects memory, and then they work their way into the brain’s language center, making it difficult to instantly bring up appropriate words. Slowly, these abnormal protein fragments spread into all other parts of the brain, finally reaching the brain center that controls breathing and the heart, thereby causing death.

It's official! The Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota has deemed High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) to be the BEST 'MEDICINE' EXERCISE for reversing signs of aging.
We have always known that exercise is one of the pillars that contributes to having healthy lifestyles. We know that exercise helps us to sleep and it keeps us alert. Not only that, it helps us look great by toning our muscles and boosting our immune systems. And finally, based on in-depth research, researchers at the Mayo Clinic have discovered that interval training in aerobic exercises helps our cells to generate energy.
