Hormone released in exercise delay Alzheimer’s

Physical exercise can help counter the loss of memory caused by Alzheimer’s as well as delay the onset of the most common type of dementia.

Researchers  established a link between levels of irisin, a hormone produced by the body during exercise, and the development of the progressive disease.

The tests, carried out on rats with Alzheimer’s, showed low levels of irisin in the brains of Alzheimer’s sufferers, and a reversal in memory loss when irisin levels were boosted through physical exercise.

The study showed that the levels of this hormone are, in fact, decreased in the brains of patients with Alzheimer’s, says a professor.

In addition, the team showed that by boosting the levels of the hormone, memory improves.

By showing that irisin is an important mediator of the beneficial effects of exercise, the findings indicate the hormone can be a novel agent capable of opposing synapse failure and memory impairment, says the study.

The research also reinforces the importance of physical activity in preventing memory loss and brain diseases, including Alzheimer’s, says the report.

Alzheimer’s is a degenerative disease that erodes memory, eventually impairing language, reasoning and other mental functions.

Shedding those extra kilos can help counter sleep disorders

As if losing weight could be any more of an incentive in itself for obese or overweight people, recent studies have revealed a link between shedding those extra layers of cellulose and sleep apnoea, a sleep related problem.

According to a research, by making a few alterations to one's overall dietary habits, combined with shedding some extra fat, one can reduce the worst effects of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA), which  is a sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing or periods of shallow breathing during sleep, preventing air from entering the lungs.

"Our project looked to address the vicious cycle of inadequate sleep and feeling too tired for exercise and improve eating habits that usually comes with chronic sleep apnoea," said respiratory and sleep physician.

"Participants in our six-month study found the Flinders behavioural program in tandem with a balanced meal replacement product such as Impromy is effective for weight loss. In turn, we then monitored whether the weight loss helped to reduce   the symptoms of participants' sleep apnoea," the Dr. added.

"We know from our clinical trials of Impromy that many people start seeing a positive reduction in their cholesterol, blood pressure and blood glucose quite early in the program," said  a Dietitian, who was part of the scientific team that helped develop Impromy.

"The new findings further demonstrates the health benefits of weight loss," she added.
