Eggs may slow down cognitive decline, new study

September 10, 2024August 28, 2024 by Yasin Fatima

Egg consumption may be linked to maintenance of cognitive function, a new study suggests.
Cognitive decline in women consuming more eggs per week is less over years, findings show.
However, the research needs more supporting data of larger samples for major inferences.

A new hope has emerged for people with cognitive decline or those on the verge of it. Cognitive decline can be defined as impairment in mental capabilities characterized by conditions like memory loss or constrained thinking. It is a malady that affects person’s quality of life, and limits their activities. The effects can especially be observed in older people.

Recently, a study — published in August — found that egg consumption may be linked to maintenance of cognitive function.

The study, by the title Egg Consumption and 4-Year Change in Cognitive Function in Older Men and Women: The Rancho Bernardo Study, suggested that the semantic memory and executive function of women consuming more eggs per week showed less decline over 4 years. Even though eggs have high levels of cholesterol, they may help with the maintenance of cognitive function.

Although the study needs more supporting data of larger samples, it provides stimulus for further research into more affordable options — supplementary at least — that can be used to prevent age-related mental issues.

Eggs have previously been studied for proteins and other nutrients that are linked to well-being. Also, their low-cost feature gives them an edge. Hence, people should consider the suitable consumption of eggs — in case their health condition allows it — for a better cognitive life.

The amount of salt used in a meal has a significant impact on its flavour. As a result, it is always recommended to use salt sparingly when cooking. While a dish’s lack of salt can be quickly remedied by doubling the amount of the ingredient, an excessive amount of salt becomes problematic. The circumstance is, nonetheless, rather typical.

February 13, 2023 by Areej Afzal

In recent years, protein supplements have grown in popularity.
There have also been numerous misconceptions regarding their use.
People can achieve their fitness goals more effectively if they know these common misconceptions.

In recent years, protein supplements have grown in popularity, particularly among people who want to build muscle and perform better in sports. However, as these supplements have gained in popularity, there have also been numerous misconceptions regarding their use. These misconceptions may result in erroneous decisions regarding the use of supplements as well as confusion. People can achieve their fitness goals more effectively and make better decisions about their supplement regimens if they know the truth behind these common misconceptions.

Dietary supplements containing various concentrations of whey protein are known as whey protein supplements. One of the two proteins in milk is whey protein. Athletes, bodybuilders, and anyone else who wants to increase their protein intake for muscle building, weight loss, and overall health and wellness are just a few of the health and fitness goals it is frequently used for. According to Dr Shri Iyer, Head of Nutrition Science at BUILD, “people are concerned about consuming whey protein due to misleading marketing claims made by some products, quality issues raised by substandard brands, and a plethora of myths surrounding its adverse effects.” during an exchange with HT Lifestyle.

Every Protein Powder is the same:

There are various kinds of protein supplements, including whey, casein, soy, and pea protein, each of which has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. It is essential to select a supplement that meets your individual requirements and objectives.

Harms the Kidneys:

The claim that whey protein supplements can harm healthy kidneys is not supported by any scientific evidence.

Bodybuilders Only:

Whey protein is popular with bodybuilders, but athletes, older adults, vegetarians, and anyone else who wants to get more protein, recover from an injury, or support overall health and fitness can all benefit from it.

Can Cause Weight Gain:

Whey protein alone will not cause weight gain if consumed in the recommended daily amount, in contrast to any calorie-dense food or supplement when consumed in excess.

Not Organic:

Whey protein is processed to remove impurities while maintaining its nutritional value from milk, a natural food source.

Allergic Reactions:

Whey protein may cause allergic reactions in some people, but this is uncommon and most people can eat it without any problems.

Before taking protein supplements, it’s important to talk to a nutritionist or professional trainer. These professionals are equipped with the knowledge and expertise necessary to assess your specific requirements and determine whether you require supplements. They can also advise you on safe and effective high-quality supplements and assist you in determining the appropriate protein intake for your objectives.

In addition, they are able to monitor any potential side effects or interactions with other medications you may be taking and offer tailored recommendations and direction on how to incorporate protein supplements into your diet. You can make sure that taking protein supplements is safe, effective, and tailored to your needs by working with a professional.

Boris Johnson, the former British Prime Minister, is reflecting on his final meeting with the Queen.

Mr Johnson told the BBC in a recent interview that the deceased was ‘bright’ and ‘focused’ on her duties when she met him 48 hours before her death.

He said: “The last audience I had with her – one of the reasons it was so shocking on the 8th, to hear about her death – was because in that audience, she had been absolutely on it.

“Just two days before her death. She was actively focused on geopolitics, on UK politics, quoting statesmen from the 1950s, it was quite extraordinary.

“She seemed very bright, very focused.”

Mr Johnson did reflect, however, that the Queen was “clearly not well”.

He added: “I think that was the thing that I found so moving when I heard about her death, when we all heard about her death on Thursday, two days later.

“I just thought how incredible that her sense of duty had kept her going in the way that it had.

“Given how ill she obviously was, how amazing that she should be so bright and so focused. So it was a pretty emotional time,” noted Mr Johnson.
