Because of its close link to metabolic health researchers have correlated the development of this disease with insulin resistance. One study looked at brain scans in 150 late middle-aged adults who were at risk for Alzheimer's disease and showed that people with higher levels of insulin resistance used less blood sugar in areas of the brain most susceptible to Alzheimer's, which means that part of the brain has less energy to process information and create and retain memories.
2. Lion’s mane mushrooms
Lion’s mane mushroom is one adaptogen that has potent neuroprotective properties, making it the perfect choice for enhancing cognitive function and memory. The power comes from the nerve growth factors found in Lion’s mane, which protect and regenerate brain tissue. One study found that those who took a lion’s mane supplement for 16 weeks showed significantly higher cognitive function compared to those who didn’t.
3. Meditation
Neuroplasticity is your brain’s ability to regenerate itself by making new neural connections. This slowly decreases over time, but meditation can increase the thickness and activity of the brain’s prefrontal cortex - the area of the brain responsible for memory and focus. This helps to slow down cognitive decline and
