XpressO is a user-friendly memory test created by the inventor of the widely used MoCA Test for early detection of mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

XpressO was designed to be easy and accurate for adults, including those 90 years and older, regardless of education or tech comfort, and can be a first step for those showing signs of forgetfulness or confusion.

Story at-a-glance
Walking 5,001 to 7,500 steps a day slows the buildup of tau, the brain protein linked to Alzheimer’s-related decline, helping you stay sharper for years longer
Older adults with elevated amyloid — a key early Alzheimer’s marker — preserved memory and daily function far better when they consistently reached a moderate step range
Even small increases in movement, such as moving from under 3,000 steps to 3,500 to 5,000 per day, deliver meaningful cognitive benefits without requiring intense exercise
High-intensity training pushed healthy adults into metabolic dysfunction, reducing mitochondrial energy production by about 40% and disrupting blood sugar stability
Finding your personal exercise “sweet spot” — enough movement to avoid inactivity without pushing into extreme training — protects both long-term brain health and daily metabolic balance

Alzheimer's disease quietly takes hold decades before the first forgotten appointment or misplaced word triggers concern. It's a disorder characterized by memory loss, confusion, shifts in personality, and a gradual erosion of independence, and when it progresses unchecked, it leads to severe cognitive decline and total reliance on others.

Discover the optimal exercise range that protects brain health and metabolism - too little accelerates decline, too much disrupts energy production.

Why Men Must Take This Nutrient Before Their Prostate SwellsEmpty heading

There are times when a man needs to take action before a problem develops. And one of the problems that many of us will face as we get older has to do with our prostates.

They can get too large (called benign prostatic hypertrophy) and end up being a big aggravation that sometimes needs surgery.

They also can end up turning cancerous and be an even bigger aggravation. These problems are all too common.

Now some research is showing that the time to do something about these problems is before you have them. And one of the most effective ways to do that is not with a drug or a procedure. It’s with a nutrient.

Researchers looked at 40 men with enlarged prostates. All of them were free of prostate cancer. They gave some of them the nutrient lycopene at a dose of 15 mg per day. The other men took a placebo capsule. Lycopene, as you may know, is found in tomatoes and in many vegetables and fruits.

Before the beginning of the study, the researchers measured the men’s PSA levels. They also used ultrasound to measure the size of their prostates. At the end of six months, they re-measured the PSA and prostate size. Here’s what they found.

The PSA levels did not change in the placebo group, but decreased in the lycopene group. Likewise, the size of the prostate increased in the placebo group, but remained the same in the lycopene group. In terms of symptoms from enlarged prostate, both showed some improvement, but the lycopene group had a much greater level of improvement. The authors stated it very clearly, “In conclusion, lycopene inhibited the progression of benign prostatic hypertrophy.”

There are two take-away messages from this study. One is that a man should not wait for problems. He should start protecting his prostate before it starts to enlarge, not after he is having symptoms. This means starting around his 50th birthday. Why? Notice that although the lycopene prevented the prostate from enlarging, it did not shrink it. Most prostate remedies are excellent at preventing the swelling, but poor at reversing it.

Second, men who have enlarged prostates may end up having more problems than just that. They are at an increased risk for developing prostate cancer. So preventing a swollen prostate is also a good way to prevent prostate cancer. This is why the authors also stated that, “Lycopene is a promising nutritional component for the prevention of prostate cancer.”
