Boost Your Memory By Managing Your Blood Sugar

Dear Reader,

More news on memory and blood sugar. A new study from Germany appearing in the journal Neurology has found that higher blood sugar levels may up the risk of memory problems even for those who have glucose levels in the normal range. Earlier work has found that people with type 2 diabetes have a higher risk of devastating dementia. The Mayo Clinic argues that diabetes is a risk for vascular dementia because it can harm blood vessels in the brain.

The current research included 141 subjects of an average age of 63 years who didn't have prediabetes or diabetes. The project didn't include people who were overweight, who had been diagnosed with memory or thinking problems or who drank over three and a half alcoholic drinks per day.

The team tested memory skills and checked blood sugar levels. One of the tests called for subjects to remember a list of 15 words a half hour after hearing them. Brain scans were used to measure the size of the hippocampus, part of the brain that plays a big role in memory. Those with lower blood sugar did better on the memory testing and the hippocampus was larger than in those who had higher levels.

For the word recall tests, those who remembered fewer words also had higher blood sugar. The researchers say that an increase of 7 mmol/mol of a sugar marker known as HbA1c was linked to remembering two fewer words.

This suggests that even for those in the normal range of blood sugar, lowering that number could be a good strategy for fighting memory issues and cognitive decline as you age. Lower blood sugar levels are better for the brain in the long term both for memory functions and the memory relevant structures of the brain like the hippocampus.

Boost Your Memory By Managing Your Blood Sugar Continued...


There may be a few things at work here. Effects on blood vessels can hurt memory. Higher blood sugar levels damage both small and large vessels in the brain, and this brings less blood and nutrient flow to the cells. Higher blood sugar might impair the functioning of areas like the hippocampus, particularly important in terms of memory. Also, when you are making a choice or trying to think of something, the hippocampus calls for a lot of glucose, but higher levels in the body might bring a disruption in the transport of glucose through the blood brain barrier of the memory area of your brain. Higher blood sugar in the body makes it harder to get glucose to the hippocampus.

Lifestyle choices that are focused on lowering blood glucose levels in both the young and old are important, and could have quite an impact on later memory. That means that people need to seriously work to lower obesity, especially at midlife, by eating a diet loaded with fiber, vegetables, protein and whole grains. Being active on a regular basis is also vital to keeping blood sugar under control and the pounds from adding up.

If you are at risk for memory problems (obese or over 55) you need to be having regular checkups that include fasting glucose and measurement of HbA1c levels for an early detection of elevated glucose levels.

To your good health,

Kirsten Whittaker

P.S: There's a knock at the door. You peak through the curtains... a neighbor you weren't expecting.

You cast an eye over the room - it's a total mess! Shall you pretend to be out...?

We've all been there - caught out and embarrassed by the state of our homes.

Wouldn't it be great to always have a home that's free of clutter, one you're proud of rather than embarrassed by?

Now you can.
