Deans' stroke musings: Chapter 6 – Effect of Mediterranean Diet on Healthy Brain Aging: Involvement of Telomerase

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Chapter 6 – Effect of Mediterranean Diet on Healthy Brain Aging: Involvement of Telomerase

I'm sure there is absolutely nothing that will get your hospital to create a diet protocol for this.

This piece of it will never get into your hospital;

Abstract

Mediterranean diet (MD) is one of the healthiest dietary patterns in the world associated with low morbidity and mortality among old age subjects. Strong evidences are showing that a good adherence to such a diet is associated with lower incidence of many age-related diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and dementia.

Telomeres are the caps at the end of our chromosomes, protecting them from damage and regulating cellular senescence. Numerous evidences are showing that MD slows telomere shortening along with aging, which may represent the mechanism by which this diet may boost longevity. The aim of this chapter is to provide an update on the current knowledge of the effects of the MD on healthy brain aging, on telomere biology and in particular, we will look over the most recent evidences about its relationship with telomerase activation.
