The aging of the brain responsible sugar
September 9, 2009
Increased blood sugar levels, a normal sign of aging, affects the work of the hippocampus – the area of the brain, which is crucial for learning and memory. Scientists believe that it is too high blood glucose levels associated with cognitive dysfunction in old age.
It is assumed that the regulation of substances in the body will help prevent age-related decline in memory. At the same time, neurologists noticed that the excercises stabilize the concentration of glucose and, consequently, improve brain function.
Research at Columbia University / United States / showed that physical activity strengthens the part of the brain associated with aging by controlling blood sugar. Such conclusions were made after analysis of the functions of the hippocampus in 240 healthy people about 80 years. It is known that damage to the hippocampus develops Alzheimer’s disease and other cognitive problems. Doctors argue that maintaining optimal blood sugar levels and the implementation of regular physical exercise can effectively prevent a cognitive disorder and to support brain activity in old age.
