Gentlemen, start your lol-gines.
I was gonna write something funny here, but I completely forgot what it was…

“Scientists in the US…”
Ok, so high (processed) carb, high (inflammatory) fat and low protein diets cause poor brain health… Interesting.
EDIT: Didn’t see the “lol” part.
There is a fair amount of evidence suggesting diet influences dementia risk and considering the only solid genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer’s is the ApoE epsilon 4 allele, diet would seem rather pivotal.
Interesting nonetheless, is the body phenotype typical of pre-Alzheimer’s sufferers. They tend to be skinnier than their healthy counterparts.
Does that mean eating 6000+ calories a day won’t have a negative effect then?
Excuse me, I’m off to the local buffet
Hmm, my post last night didnt’ go through.
anyways, as BBB mentioned inflammation, but also mitochondrial death. How excess calories causes that I’m not sure, but perhaps it’s more about the quality of those calories.
Most people that overeat aren’t doing so on salmon and broccoli

Solution: Vinpocetine. It is very cheap, comes from plants (vinca minor/periwinkle) and increases O2 uptake in the brain, whilst preventing buildup of the age-related plaque (lipofuscin) that accumulates within neurones. It is also a potent cerebral antioxidant, which helps combat the damage from inflammation.

Alzheimer’s disease - found not to be of benefit
Fifteen Alzheimer patients were treated with increasing doses (30, 45, and 60 mg per day) in an open-label pilot trial during a one-year period. The study was done at VA Medical Center, in San Diego, California. The supplement failed to improve cognition at any dose tested. There were no significant side effects from the therapy.[/quote]
Unless you mentioned it as a preventative measure for Alzheimer’s in which case you could be right.
Have you taken Vinpocetine for the vasodialation effects?
The secret to avoiding Alzeihmers is coffee(“the silent killer”).
I think I read somewhere 2-3 shots a day significantly reduces the risk.
Its morning and time for my short mach!!!

It’s completely feasible that a low-calorie lifestyle could yield cognitive benefits, in addition to the life-extending benefits that we know about.
Just because it doesn’t coincide with bodybuilding doesn’t mean it is wrong.

The problem lies in “high calorie” equaling “fast food and crap”. How many of these “high calorie” people happened to be eating like that for realistic goals in bodybuilding or powerlifting?
Maybe eating Big Macs all day and sitting on your ass is the problem…and not just the Big Mac.

Does “high calorie” equal “fast food and crap” in this case? These were elderly individuals in the UK…I’m not sure how much McDonald’s they were eating.
Of course, we don’t know anything for sure, but I don’t think it is a reach to assume that all the participants ate more or less the same foods–just in differing quantities.

Dude, they are elderly women. My point was ACTIVITY has everything to do with what you see from what you eat.
If a factor like “working out” alone can drastically skew the results seen, then it would change the conclusion.
The average older person isn’t eating in order to see the most progress. They are eating out of tradition and habit.
