If you love pomegranates, you're in luck.

Pomegranates contain ellagitannins - a group of compounds that are converted to 'Urolithin A' by our gut bacteria and is shown to increase muscle + robust mitochondrial function and promotes brain health - all which tend to decline as we age.

Sprinkle seeds in yogurt, smoothies etc. or supplement.

Add protein and eat it first to keep blood sugar low and stable. Protein tends to help stabilize blood sugars by blunting the absorption of carbohydrates/sugars.

Fiber, protein and fats help to slow down the digestion of carbs and delay their absorption into the blood.

A 19-year-old man has been diagnosed w/ Alzheimer’s after he showed “gradual memory decline for 2 years.”

Since he lacked gene mutations associated w/ early-onset familial Alzheimer’s, unraveling contributors to his symptoms may lead to clues for us all. https://t.co/OiHjDFt9tY
