Most common diseases of 50 plus - Diseases of Central Nervous system - The Preventive Do's and Do Not's list

6. Eat you fruits and veggies
Fruits and veggies containing high amounts of antioxidant enhance the immune system in fighting against forming of free radicals cause to damage to the brain cells of that can lead to dementia. Vitamin E and vitamin C supplements in combination were associated with reduced prevalence and incidence of AD, according to The Johns Hopkins University(215).

7. Regular and moderate exercise for elder
Regular and moderate exercise may attenuate the cognitive dysfunctioning, but theirs' induced changes in cognition were not correlated with changes in mood/anxiety, probably through some separate neural systems mediation(216).

8. Avoid nutritional deficiency with balance diet
a. Beyond our believe, an excess of dietary carbohydrates, particularly fructose, alongside a relative deficiency in dietary fats and cholesterol, may lead to the development of Alzheimer's disease(217).
b. For more of Avoid nutritional deficiency with balance diet, please visit(218)

9. Avoid environment risk of dementia
Certain environment toxins produced as a result of industrialization or naturally have been linked to cognitive degenerative diseases. According to University of British Columbia, novel environmental toxins: steryl glycosides, a potential etiological factor for age-related neurodegenerative diseases, showed signs of mimicked ALS-PDC, including progressive deficits in motor, cognitive, and olfactory functions associated with neuron loss in the spinal cord, nigrostriatal system, cortex, hippocampus, and olfactory bulb in fed mice(219).

10. No illicit drug, please(220)
Illicit drug used may cause nervous system impairment as a result of direct and indirect effects on the integrity and function of nervous system tissue and, potentially, through immune effects, especially, up to 40% risk of nervous system impairment for patients with HIV-1 infection.

11. Prevent prolonged period of using certain drug
As aging, accumulation of toxins of certain medication used to treat certain diseases, such as antidepressants, sedatives, cardiovascular drugs and anti-anxiety medications may cause increased risk of cognitive dysfunction causes of dementia-like symptoms(221).

The Science of Soy - The East Viewpoints: Part A5 - Soy and Menopause Symptoms in Japanese

By Kyle J. Norton

Soy foods, including tofu have been in traditional Chinese diet over thousands of year, according to Chinese literature. The reduced risk of chronic disease, including metabolic syndrome such as cardiovascular diseases, obesity and diabetes and lesser menopause symptoms in advanced age, may be aided by eating a lot of soy food accompanied with large portion of vegetables and fruits. Indeed, according to the study, only 10% of women in the East are experience symptoms of menopause in advanced age compared to over 70% of their Western counterparts.
According to Dr. Mark Messina, Ph.D., Soy foods contributed from 6.5%8 to 12.8%7 of total protein intake in older adult in Japan.(b)

The approval of cardiovascular benefit of soy by FDA in 1999 accompanied with the discovery of health benefits in clinical studies over past decade, prompted the promotion and advertisement of soy's health benefits in every aspect in Western society. Evidences could be seen by walking through the supermarkets and drug stores. Soy supplements and products such as tofu, soy milk, soy-based infant formula, and meatless “texturized vegetable protein” burgers were widely available. According to the United Soybean Board’s 2004–2005, 25% of Americans consume soy foods or beverages at least once per week, and 74% view soy products as healthy.

Today, the promotion of soy are no longer existed, it may be results of discovery of adverse effect in single ingredient and animal studies, as intake of soy is associated to induce risk certain mammary cancers and infertility. The publication of the result have drawn many criticisms. According to Thomas Badger, director and senior investigator at the Arkansas Children’s Nutrition Center in Little Rock, these effects are seen only under certain experimental conditions that are not likely to occur in humans—and therein lies the crux of the debate(a). Equol (4',7-isoflavandiol), an isoflavandiol metabolized from daidzein may be the causes, as 90% of Eastern population are equol producers but only 30% in the West.
The explanation of the positive effect of soy isoflavones in reduced risk of mammary cancers by University of Goettingen may be interesting, as researchers said" Most importantly, there is dispute as to whether isoflavones derived from soy or red clover have negative, positive or any effect at all on the mammary gland or endometrium. It is beyond any doubt that soy products may have cancer preventing properties in a variety of organs including the mammary gland. However, these properties may only be exerted if the developing organ was under the influence of isoflavones during childhood and puberty.

Soybean, the genus Glycine, belonging to the family Fabaceae, one of the legumes contains twice as much protein per acre than any other major vegetable or grain crop, native to Southeast Asia. Now, it is grown worldwide with suitable climate for commercial profits.

I. Soy in Eastern population
A. The Japanese population
Japan, an island nation in the Pacific Ocean, lies to the east of the Sea of Japan, China, North Korea, South Korea and Russia, stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and Taiwan in the south(1c). According to Moriyama, Japanese women and men live longer and healthier than everyone else on Earth, it may be result of healthier Japanese diet and lifestyle. According to the World Health Organization, the Japanese have an average of 75 years healthy living with disability-free, it may be due to average soy intake 10 to 70 times higher than in Western people(1a)(1b).

A5. Soy and menopause symptom in Japan
Menopause is defined as a condition in which women have not had a menstrual period in a minimum of 12 months period as a result of the inactive ovaries, assuming the women are not pregnant and experience the ease of visible symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes and night sweats but not the invisible effects of menopause. During post menopause, any bleeding or spotting should be reported to your doctor immediately, because it may be caused by tumors rarely but it is possible. Symptoms may include Bleeding or spotting, Vagina itching and dryness, Hot flash, Bone pain and fracture, Bladder infection, Skin wrinkle, Hypertension, Bone density loss, etc.

Eppidemiological studies, linking soy effects on menopause symptoms have been inconclusive(1)(2)(3)(4). In Japanese women, phytochemicals in soy found effectively in reduced vasomotor symptoms of menopause. In the study of a supplement containing equol on the menopausal symptoms in Japanese, researchers at the Tokyo Medical and Dental University, showed that the equol-ingesting group, not only significantly reduces severity and frequency of hot flashes, neck or shoulder but also exhibited trends of improvement in sweating and irritability and a significant improvement in the somatic category symptoms(5). Administration of 10-mg natural S-(-)equol supplement consumed daily for 12 weeks also indicated an reduction of hot flushes and neck or shoulder muscle stiffness, in postmenopausal Japanese women(6). And fermented soy products have been also showed to alleviate the severity of hot flushes(14).
Some researchers suggested that the effectiveness of soy isoflavone in relieved symptoms of menopause may link to equol-producing status. In a 1-year double-blind, randomized trial in comparison of the effects of isoflavone (75 mg of isoflavone conjugates/day) in early postmenopausal equol-producer phenotype Japanese women, found that isoflavones exhibit the preventive effects on bone loss and fat accumulation in early postmenopausal women, depending on an individual's equol-producing capacity(7) and S-equol supplement improved mood-related symptoms in perimenopausal/postmenopausal even in equol nonproducers in Japan women, in total of 127 participants completed the trial(8).

Soy isoflavone extracts on testing on lumbar spine or hip BMD in menopausal women of controlled trials published in English, Japanese, or Chinese, showed a result of varying effects on spine BMD(9). In compared the symptom of hot flash and chilliness in menopause women, Dr. Melby MK. suggested that Japanese women are experience important vasomotor symptom than hot flushes and sweats, it may be result of dietary high in soy(10).

In Osteoporosis, menaquinone-7, the major chemical compound found in Japanese fermented soybeans, showed to prevent postmenopausal bone loss(11) and promote bone formation(13)(15) as well alleviating early postmenopausal women symptoms, such as in palpitation and backaches(15). Other study also suggested that intake of supplementation of isoflavones (ISO) regular associates to risk reduction of osteoporosis in middle-aged Japanese and menopausal Japanese women(12).

In fact, according to the study of cross-sectional relationships of dietary and other lifestyle variables to menopause by the Gifu University School of Medicine, such as smoking, calcium and soy product intakes, intakes of fat, cholesterol, and coffee were significantly associated with the onset menopause in Japanese women(16).

Taken altogether, High soy food intakes are associated to reduce symptoms of menopause in Japanese women, especially in the major menopausal symptom of chilliness. Intake of supplement containing equol are effective in symptom reduction even in non equol producers in these population as well. According to the Royal Hospital for Women, highest soy consumption in Japan lowered the rates of diseases, including breast, endometrial, colon and prostatic cancers atherosclerotic, etc. The induced extremely high urinary levels of phytoestrogen metabolites may be a result of isoflavones in exhibited bioactivity when intake of high concentrations.(17)
