(CNN) -- Greg Kalkwarf was a teenager when his grandfather told him and his brother, with increasing anger and frustration, "Dean, get out there and milk the cows!"
There were indeed cows at his grandparents' farm, but Dean -- Kalkwarf 's uncle -- wasn't there, and the grandchildren weren't supposed to be milking them.
” But the reality is that coffee consumption has been linked to a number of potential benefits – lower risk of diabetes, dementia and, yes, liver disease. Coffee contains more than 1000 compounds; one or more of which is responsible for the benefit that has been linked to coffee intake on liver disease in patients with alcoholic and viral hepatitis. Benefits include decreases in markers of liver disease progression and reductions in the risk for fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.
Education blunts effects of Alzheimer's: study
REUTERS | Will Dunham | Brain scans of people with an abnormality that is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease are strengthening the notion that greater education levels somehow protect against this common form of dementia.
People with more education did better on memory and problem solving tests than others with similar amounts of brain plaques related to Alzheimer's, researchers wrote in the journal Archives of Neurology on Monday.
Alzheimer's is a form of dementia. Dementia can be caused by many things like other diseases such as parkinson's, hormones, oxygen deprivation (from low lung function or carotid blockages) or other.
Most have slightly different progressions.
s disease)
In the final stage of this disease, individuals lose the ability to respond to their environment, to carry on a conversation and, eventually, to control movement. They may still say words or phrases.
At this stage, individuals need help with much of their daily personal care, including eating or using the toilet. They may also lose the ability to smile, to sit without support and to hold their heads up. Reflexes become abnormal. Muscles grow rigid. Swallowing impaired.
I posted a question in my community (BP) about BP getting worse with age. My delima is that my family has a history of both dementia and Alzheimer Disease on each side of my family. With bipolar, I have been told, that left untreated, it can lead to dementia in patients. Of course, now, I am being treated, and that's a very good thing.
Do you know if Dementia and Alzheimer's is inherited? Does anyone know of someone that had bipolar and it went into dementia?
Moderate Wine Drinking Linked to Preserved Cognitive Function
Megan Brooks
September 14, 2010 — In a Norwegian long-term population-based study, moderate wine drinkers had better cognitive test scores after 7 years' follow-up compared with teetotalers and those who rarely drank alcohol, researchers report in July in Acta Neurologica Scandinavica.
Of the 808 patients who responded to the questionnaire at baseline, 711 drank zero to 2 cups of coffee a day, and 97 drank 3 or more cups of coffee daily. Those who drank the most coffee also consumed the most alcohol and cigarettes. These coffee drinkers, however, had healthier livers than the other participants, with less steatosis (evaluated by biopsy) and lower bilirubin levels, α-fetoprotein levels, and aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase ratios (P < .05).
I saw the Alzheimer's link on the internet too. I'm more concerned about that than I am my cholestrol, epecially since my mother's father had Alzheimer's and and my mother has it now. Berkeley Lab offers a patient education service. They will call sometime this week to explain the result of the blood test to me. I'm looking forward to it and hope they will give solid answers to my questions.
Thanks for responding.
In a randomized, controlled trial of 168 seniors diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment, they found that TrioBe Plus slowed the rate of brain shrinkage by an average of 30 percent, and as much as 53 percent, according to the study in PLoS One.
While all our brains shrink a little as we age, faster shrinkage has been linked to dementia and Alzheimer's disease. But if this B blend turns into a prescription "drug," you can expect rapid shrinkage somewhere else: your wallet!
Cholesterol and Triglyceride Lowering Foods
Mushrooms
Used for centuries in Eastern medicine, mushrooms have powerful effects on the immune system – especially the maitake, shiitake, and reishi varieties. "Mushrooms such as maitake help prevent and treat cancer, viral diseases, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure," says Bauman.
I know that this Coffee Story has been splashed all over the news today in regard to Decaf Coffee and Liver Disease. Decided to do some additional investigation on my own and one of my sources was the American Cancer Society funding of liver disease.
Wonder if the limitation of Coffee was because of Caffiene? We do know that Caffiene does play a part in certain cardiovascular diseases. Hep C meds can cause tachycardia as well as arrhythmia's and could be contraindicated with Caffiene.
In prior studies, coffee consumption has been linked to a wide range of health benefits including reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome and several types of cancer, the researchers noted as background. It may have a particularly beneficial effect on the liver, being associated with lower liver enzyme levels and reduced cirrhosis and liver cancer.
Hello.
Your symptoms are a bit different from those of Alzheimer's disease. It seems that you may be having episodes of low blood pressure or hypoglycemia. During such episodes, the brain receives less blood, oxygen and glucose, leading to symptoms experienced by you.
You can consult a family physician; get a full system check up, routine blood work, blood pressure monitoring and blood sugar levels.
Do not worry too much about Alzheimer's disease.
We know that passive smoking is associated with an increased risk of stroke and heart disease. This is just another reason to avoid exposing other people to your smoke, and if you are not a smoker to stay away from smoking places."
Maria Carrillo, director of medical and scientific relations for the Alzheimer's Association, said this study offers more evidence of the dangers of secondhand smoke and the risk for dementia.
14 September 2011
Drinking three or more cups of coffee a day reduced the incidence of self-reported side-effects by more than 80% compared to non-coffee drinkers in people co-infected with hepatitis C and HIV who were taking hepatitis C treatment, a French study has found.
The study adds to evidence that coffee could be a useful and cheap 'supplement' for people taking hepatitis C treatment and could considerably increase the rate of treatment success.
