Could quitting ultra-processed food boost your mental health?

People with depression who dramatically cut ultra-processed foods experienced notable improvements in their symptoms in a small preliminary study. Researchers suspect healthier eating may benefit the brain partly by reducing gut damage and chronic inflammation.

“ Research by specialists at Johns Hopkins University looked into the connection between hearing loss and brain health. The long-term study spanning more than ten years showed a relationship between auditory health and cognitive behaviour.” https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/health/not-checking-one-body-part-37467276?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=other #HearingLoss #BrainHealth

Popular sugar substitutes linked to faster brain aging https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/07/260717033213.htm Scientists tested 39 sweeteners and found unexpected gut effects https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/07/260716023552.htm #nutrition #sugar #health #BrainHealth

Popular sugar substitutes linked to faster brain aging

Several popular sugar substitutes may not be as harmless as they seem. Adults who consumed the most artificial sweeteners showed substantially faster declines in memory and thinking, especially if they were under 60 or had diabetes. The highest intake was linked to cognitive aging roughly 1.6 years faster than the lowest intake. Researchers stressed that more studies are needed before concluding that sweeteners are the cause.

'Our ability to smell is linked to brain health, and losing this sense is often one of the first signs of neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. About 85 percent of people with early-stage Alzheimer’s have problems smelling'. https://wapo.st/4fLVSkb *I don't have a guest link, I am looking for one, if you have one please share. #PublicHealth #Health #BrainHealth #Dementia #NeurogenerativeDisorders #Alzheimers #Parkinsons #Covid19

Scientists discover a surprising link between vitamin C and brain health

Could something as simple as vitamin C help support a healthier aging brain? In a study of more than 2,000 older adults in Japan, researchers found that people with lower vitamin C levels in their blood also tended to have less gray matter and weaker connections in a key brain network involved in memory, attention, and other cognitive functions.

Millions take omega-3 fish oil for brain health but a new study found no benefit

Fish oil supplements successfully delivered omega-3s to the brain, but a two-year study found no meaningful benefits for memory, cognition, or Alzheimer’s-related brain changes. The results challenge the idea that fish oil pills can help prevent Alzheimer’s and shift attention toward overall diet and lifestyle instead.

Chlorpyrifos: Pesticide tied to brain damage in children, chronic disease and other health problems

Prenatal exposure to chlorpyrifos, a widely used insecticide, is linked to lower birth weight, reduced IQ, loss of working memory, attention disorders, and delayed motor development.

Intermittent fasting triggers surprising changes in the brain

Losing weight may involve rewiring the gut and the brain at the same time. In a study of obese adults, an intermittent fasting-style diet led to significant weight loss, healthier metabolic markers, and notable shifts in gut bacteria. Brain scans also revealed changes in regions tied to appetite, cravings, and self-control. The results suggest the gut microbiome and brain may work together to influence weight-loss success.

AI models are getting better at studying and diagnosing specific diseases and neuropsychiatric conditions. Case in point, AI has shown promise in uncovering patterns associated with tumors, strokes and neurodegenerative diseases by analyzing large amounts of brain scans collected using magnetic resonance imaging.

Receptive aphasia is one of the most challenging — and often misunderstood — consequences of stroke. Survivors can hear perfectly well, yet struggle to understand spoken words. This happens when stroke damage affects the brain's language processing centers, particularly Wernicke's area in the left hemisphere.
