This Healthy Fat Can Improve Your
Many seniors feel the effects of cognitive decline that impact their quality of life. New research is showing that a simple healthy fat can help.
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is the cognitive area between the normal cognitive decline of aging and the serious cognitive decline of . It causes difficulties with memory, thinking, judgement and language but falls short of the drastic impact on independence and daily activities of Alzheimer’s disease.
As many as 42% of seniors experience MCI. Drugs don’t help. But healthy omega-3 essential fatty acids might.
Lifestyle improvements, including good nutrition, physical activity and cognitive stimulation reduce the risk of cognitive decline. Now, you might want to add omega-3 EFA’s.
Omega-3 EFA’s show promise for cognition because they reduce neuroinflammation, enhance synaptic function, and support neuronal membrane composition, fluidity and integrity. They are the best dietary fats to incorporate into your brain cells.
This umbrella review included 9 systematic reviews of 14 controlled studies of 26,881 people who were 40 or older and had MCI. All of them used the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). The MMSE assesses cognitive function and is effective for diagnosing dementia.
The benefit of supplementing omega-3 EFA’s on cognition was evident and consistent. 7 of the 9 systematic reviews included in the umbrella review showed improvement on MMSE scores. Pooling all the results in a meta-analysis revealed a modest, but statistically significant, benefit for omega-3’s.
This comprehensive study suggests that, in addition to eating healthily, getting enough physical activity and sleep, and cognitive stimulation, supplementing with omega-3 can improve cognition and help prevent cognitive impairment.

New Review Supports Natural Remedies for Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Of all the many disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is the most common, affecting as many as 11%-15% of all people. 35 million Americans suffer from IBS. The conventional approach focusses only on symptom relief. Nature can do better!
Several supplements have proven their effectiveness for IBS in studies. A just published comprehensive review has examined the current research on natural remedies.
The researchers note that, since many herbs modulate intestinal motility, inflammation and pain, they may offer a more holistic approach than the symptom management of pharmaceuticals. They also note the advantage of the safety of the herbs.
Several studies have proven the effectiveness of peppermint oil, including a number of meta-analyses, and a review that demonstrated improvement in IBS symptoms when compared to placebo or drugs (Am J Health Syst Pharm 2016;73(2):22-31). A peppermint-caraway oil combination is superior to the drug cisapride (Arneimittlforschung 1999;49:925-32).
The new review explains that peppermint oil has many properties that could contribute to its ability to improve IBS. It says that peppermint oil is “a promising treatment” that has proven its efficacy in multiple controlled studies. It highlights a recent study in which peppermint oil improved people’s global assessment, IBS severity score, stool frequency and form.
Curcumin is another herbal supplement that the review says addresses IBS in multiple ways. It highlights a recent systematic review of 26 studies that demonstrated its effectiveness for IBS (Phytother. Res. 2024;38:2687–2706).
Fennel is effective for colic and digestive problems and, the researchers say, could be effective for IBS. They point to a study of fennel oil and curcumin that
showed that the herbal combo reduces abdominal pain and other IBS symptoms and improves quality of life (J. Gastrointest. Liver Dis. 2016;25:151–157). A closer look at that study reveals the power of the herbal combo. There was a 50.5 point improvement on the IBS Symptom Severity Score compared to 28.85 on placebo. Significantly more people on the herbs were symptom free: 25.9% versus 6.8%. They also had a significantly greater improvement in abdominal pain: 63.8% pain reduction versus 27.1%. Quality of Life scores were also significantly higher in the herb group: 17.4 versus 7.7.
Finally, the review found that aloe vera also works. It pointed to a pooled analysis of 2 studies that found that aloe extract significantly reduces symptom severity, reduces the severity and frequency of abdominal pain and improves response rates (Ther. Adv. Gastroenterol. 2021;14:17562848211048133). Though not mentioned in the review, another meta-analysis of aloe and IBS that included 3 controlled studies also found that aloe is superior to placebo with more people responding and a significantly greater improvement in symptoms (J Neurogastroenterol Motil 2018;24(4):528-535).
The review concludes that “several herbal treatments, particularly peppermint oil, have demonstrated efficacy in multiple randomized controlled trials, providing a relatively robust rationale for their use in IBS management.”

Serious Pain Relief for Musculoskeletal Pain
Exercise is great for you. But acute exercise can cause musculoskeletal pain in the head and neck, arms and legs, back and trunk.
232 people with acute musculoskeletal pain were given either placebo or 1000mg of standardized curcumin and boswellia. 6 hours later, compared to placebo, pain was reduced by a significantly greater 97-98%, proving that this herbal combo is “very effective” for exercise induced musculoskeletal pain.

Natural Supplements Help to Grow Your Hair Back

Androgenic alopecia, or male pattern hair loss, and female androgenic alopecia affect a lot of people. There are only two approved drugs on the market, and neither of them work very well. But some herbs do. If you added those herbs to those drugs, would the drugs work better?

Minoxidil and finasteride are the only two FDA‐approved drugs for male and female androgenic alopecia. But only about 20% of people who use them get substantial results.

This 6 month study compared the effectiveness of the drugs alone with the effectiveness of the drugs when natural supplements were added. The supplements included 320mg of saw palmetto extract, 320mg of pumpkin seed extract,425mg of L-cystine along with vitamin C and zinc.

The results were significant and astonishing. 36.5% of the supplement group experienced much improvement compared to 24% of the drug only group. 46% of the supplement group felt that the improvement in their hair was great compared to 30% of the drug only group.

This study shows that adding saw palmetto, pumpkin seed and the accompanying nutrients significantly increases the efficacy of hair loss drugs.
