Exercise training increase brain-derived neurotrophic factor and irisin level in healthy young adults in
Basra city

Diet and Exercise /

Regular treadmill exercise is more efficient than voluntary in neuroprotection by changing brain metabolism, at the moment, regulartreadmill exercise has been observed to improve many physiological impacts in humans and animals. The present study sought to verifythe effect of regular treadmill exercise on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and irisin in healthy adult’s men in Basra […]

Background Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a prevalent and debilitating condition. Conventional medications cannot control all symptoms and may inflict adverse effects. A survey reported that Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) is frequently sought. Existing CHM trials were contradictory and often of poor quality due to lack of methodological rigor. A national clinical guideline was drafted in

Parkinson’s disease is characterized by motor and non-motor symptoms, such as defects in the gut function, which may occur before the motor symptoms. To date, there are therapies that can improve these symptoms, but there is no cure to avoid the development or exacerbation of this disorder. Dysbiosis of gut microbiota could have a crucial

Dairy Intake and Parkinson’s Disease: A Mendelian Randomization Study

Diet and Exercise, Parkinson's Disease /

Using MR, our findings provide further support for a causal relationship between dairy intake and higher PD risk, not biased by confounding or reverse causation. Further studies are needed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. © 2022 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society CLICK TO REVIEW

Futuristic food fortification with a balanced ratio of dietary ω-3/ω-6 omega fatty acids for the prevention of lifestyle diseases

Diet and Exercise, Parkinson's Disease /

Background: Over the last three decades, consumption of total and saturated fat has steadily declined in Western diets as a proportion of calories intake. At the same time, omega (ω)-6 fatty acid intake has risen at the expense of ω-3 fatty acids, resulting in an ω-6/ω-3 ratio of 20:1 or higher. Scope and approach: The

Physical Activity vs. Redox Balance in the Brain: Brain Health, Aging and Diseases

Diet and Exercise, Parkinson's Disease /

It has been proven that physical exercise improves cognitive function and memory, hasan analgesic and antidepressant effect, and delays the aging of the brain and the development ofdiseases, including neurodegenerative disorders. There are even attempts to use physical activity inthe treatment of mental diseases. The course of most diseases is strictly associated with oxidativestress, which

Gut microbiota related to nutrition and physical activity: an integrative review

Diet and Exercise, Gut Microbiota /

The gut microbiota (GM) is formed by millions of microorganisms present in the gastrointestinal tract, especially in the colon. This intestinal homeostasis can be triggered by the union of a good diet, and even recent studies have suggested that aerobic physical training can modify its composition. Objective:To analyze the influence of healthy eating added to

The gut-brain axis (GBA) refers to the bi-directional communication thatoccurs between the gut and the brain. Recently, studies have highlightedthe important role of nutrition in modulating the GBA. We will delve into thisexciting area of research and understand how certain diets and foods maybe linked to mood and mental health. Our understanding of the gut-brain
