In seeking a natural therapy with no side effects, scientists may have a herbal remedy for normalizing blood pressure, according to studies.
Hypertension is a chronic condition caused by abnormally high blood pressure.
High blood pressure is a condition of a cluster of metabolic syndrome associated with the increased risk of heart disease and stroke.
Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps out blood.
In high blood pressure individuals, due to the elevated blood pressure in your arteries, the heart has to work harder than normal to pump blood through the blood vessels.
In low blood pressure individuals, the reduced blood pressure in the arteries drops can cause the heart to pump blood at a slower rate than normal.
According to the standard guidelines, the levels of blood pressure are normal if it is more than 120 over 80 and less than 140 over 90 (120/80-140/90).
People with blood pressure lower than 120/80 are considered normal without being accompanied by symptoms of light-head or dizziness.
According to the statistics provided by the CDC, in the U.S. 29% or 100 million adults have hypertension during 2015–2016 and hypertension prevalence increased with age and was 33.2% among those aged 40–59 and 63.1% among those aged 60 and over.
Honey, the rich golden liquid is a miraculous product made by bees using nectar from flowers.
The liquid is considered one of the healthy food for replacing the use of white sugar and artificial sweetener by many people.
Researchers in the course of finding a natural ingredient for the treatment of high blood pressure investigated the safety and effect of intrapulmonary administration (by inhalation) of 60 % honey solution, 10% dextrose, or distilled water in normal or diabetic subjects.
Twenty-four healthy subjects, 16 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, and six patients with hypertension were selected to participate in the study.
Twelve healthy subjects were subjected to distilling water inhalation for 10 min, and after one week they received inhalation of honey solution (60% wt/v) for 10 min. Another 12 healthy subjects received inhalation of 10% dextrose for 10 min.
Honey treatment showed a mild reduction of blood pressure compared to no change in another group.
From a time perspective, systolic and diastolic blood pressure was reduced by honey inhalation in hypertensive patients at 60 and 120 min.
After taking into account co and confounders, researchers said, "honey inhalation was safe and effective in reducing...elevated blood pressure in hypertensive patients".
Moreover, in order to obtain more information on honey antihypertensive activity, researchers investigated the aqueous extract obtained from the mixture of the fresh leaf of Persea Americana, stems, and a fresh leaf of Cymbopogon citrus, fruits of Citrus medica, and honey on ethanol and sucrose-induced hypertension in rats.
Rats included in the study were divided into eight groups of 6 rats each and daily treated for 5 weeks. The control group received distilled water (1 mL/kg) while rats of groups 2, 3, and 4 received ethanol 40 degrees (3 g/kg/day), 10% sucrose as drinking water, and the two substances respectively.
The remaining groups received additional sucrose and ethanol, the aqueous extract (50, 100, and 150 mg/kg) or nifedipine (10 mg/kg) respectively.
Group treated with ethanol and sucrose showed a significantly (p < 0.001) increased blood pressure and heart rate compared to distilled water-treated rats.
Chronic treatment of ethanol and sucrose also exerted significantly decreased the activities of antioxidant enzymes produced by the host, observed by the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) and elevated levels of oxidative stress observed by the stress marker malondialdehyde (MDA) levels.
However, administration of the aqueous extract or nifedipine prevented all changes caused by chronic ethanol and sucrose, including the hemodynamic, biochemical, oxidative, and histological impairments.
The finding clearly suggested that aqueous extract including honey possesses antihypertensive activity by the improvement of biochemical and oxidative status, through its antioxidant property.
Taken altogether, honey used alone or combined with other herbs may be considered anti-hypertension functional remedies with no side effects, pending the confirmation of a large sample size and multicenter human study.

Phytochemical Beta-Sitosterol in the Prevention of Melanoma Brain Metastases
By Kyle J. Norton
Melanoma is skin cancer caused by the alternation of melanocyte DNA in the skin pigment, leading to the formation of moles that change in the color, size, or shape of the skin.
Most cases of melanoma start in the melanocytes or pigment-producing cells in the outer layer of the skin.
Melanoma-induced metastasis cancer in the brain is secondary cancer as a result of the spreading of melanoma cancer cells.
Melanoma spread to the brain shares the characteristics of melanoma.
Metastasis is a process in which cancer cells travel a distance away from the originated site to induce secondary malignant growths.
Anti-metastasis is an action in which substances or substances are used including herbal medicine to stop the cancer cell to infect other healthy tissues a distance away from the primary tumor.
Most cancer drugs used in conventional medicine with the ability to block the migration of cancer cells are considered to process antimetastatic activity.
Furthermore, β-sitosterol also increased the expression of oxidative stress to induce cancer cell apoptosis.
These results strongly indicated a significant role of mitochondrial complex I on human melanoma brain metastases compared to brain metastases from other cancers.

Unlike melanoma-induced metastasis in the brain, brain cancer is a medical and chronic condition characterized by cell growth disorderly in the brain tissue with a small number that may be caused by gene defects from exposure to radiation or toxic chemicals. More than 190.000 people in the US are diagnosed with a brain tumor each year alone.
More than 190.000 people in the US are diagnosed with a brain tumor each year alone.
Most brain types of brain cancer in older adults aged 50 to 60 are Chordomas. The cancer is rare and slow-growing, but it can invade adjacent bone and put pressure on the nearby neural tissue.
Meningiomas are the most common type of benign brain tumor in the age group 40-50s. However, a small percentage of these tumors can be malignant.
According to the statistic provided by the Canadian cancer society, Every day about 25 Canadians is diagnosed with a brain tumor.
The 5-year survival rate of brain cancer is only 25%, compared to over 60% for cancers overall. Most adults with a diagnosis of aggressive glioblastoma survive only 1–2 years after their diagnosis.

Beta-Sitosterol is a phytochemical in the class of Phytosterols, belonging to the group of Lipids, found abundantly in avocados, rice bran, wheat germ, corn oils, fennel, peanuts, soybeans, hawthorn, basil, and buckwheat. etc.
On finding a potential phytochemical that processed neuroprotective activity, researchers examined the effect of β-sitosterol on melanoma cell growth in vitro and inhibition of brain metastasis formation.

β-sitosterol exerted mitochondrial interference, against the test cancer cells by reducing the mitochondrial respiratory capacity, mediated by an inhibition of mitochondrial complex I in converting the energy from food for cell needs.
These results strongly indicated a significant role of mitochondrial complex I on human melanoma brain metastases compared to brain metastases from other cancers.
Moreover, the combination of vemurafenib with either β-sitosterol or a functional knockdown of mitochondrial complex I showed a completely abrogated BRAF inhibitor resistance in the tested cells.
Based on the findings, researchers said, " β-sitosterol represents a promising adjuvant to BRAF inhibitor therapy in patients with or at risk for, melanoma brain metastases".

Phytochemical γ-Tocopherols Kill Colon Cancer Cells in Vitro
By Kyle J. Norton
The colon is also known as the large intestine.
Colon cancer is relatively very common and slowly growing and progressing in a predictable way.
In most cases of primary colon cancer start in the cell on the surface of the inner lining of the colon. At the early stage. most patients with colon cancer do not experience any symptoms.
However, at the advanced stage, the tumor not only can spread to other healthy tissue and organs a distance away through blood and fluid circulation but also suppress the nearby tissue and nerve cells.
The progression of colon cancer at this stage not only induces symptoms of the change in bowel habits, the change in the consistency of your stool, that lasts longer than four weeks but also causes rectal bleeding and persistent abdominal severe pain.
The most common sites of metastasis for colon or rectal cancer is the liver and lung.
According to the statistic provided by the American Cancer Society, colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosed in the United States. Every year approximately, 90000 new cases of colon cancer. 43,000 new cases of rectal cancer are diagnosed, leading to the death of 50,000 patients.
The lifetime risk of developing colorectal cancer is about 1 in 22 (4.49%) for men and 1 in 24 (4.15%) for women.
The 5-year survival rate for patients diagnosed with localized stage colorectal cancer is 90%. About 39% of patients are diagnosed at this early stage.
Tocopherols are phytochemicals of which many have vitamin E activity, belonging to the group of Lipids, found abundantly in butter, egg yolk, milk fat, some vegetable, seed, or nut oils, etc.
On finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of malignant tumors, researchers examined the growth inhibitory effects of different forms of tocopherols (T), tocopheryl phosphates (TP), and tocopherol quinones (TQ) on human colon cancer HCT116 and HT29 cells.
Furthermore, the γ forms of TP and TQ process the highest inhibiting cancer cell growth, compared to the δ forms and least effective in the α forms.
More precisely, γ-TQ and δ-TQ (showing IC50 values of ∼0.8 and ∼2 μM) showed significant potencies against the HCT116 cells, after a 72 h incubation with 100-fold and greater than 20-fold higher, respectively.

According to the analysis, δ-T was more effective in inhibiting colon cancer cell growth, decreasing cancer cell colony formation, and inducing apoptosis, compared to less effective in γ-T and ineffective in α-T.
Moreover, δ-T, γ-TP, and γ-TQ induced cancer cell death were also attributed to the cleavage of caspase 3 involved in apoptosis and PARP1 associated with DNA repair and DNA fragmentation.
Collectively, researchers said, "the higher growth inhibitory activity of δ-T than γ-T, the even higher activities of the γ forms of TP and TQ, and the ineffectiveness of the α forms of tocopherol and their metabolites against colon cancer cells".
Taken altogether, tocopherols may be considered a supplement for the prevention and treatment of colon cancer, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of tocopherols in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose and acute liver toxicity.

Phytochemical Beta-Sitosterol, the Anti-Cancer Potential Antioxidant
By Kyle J. Norton
Cancer is a class of chronic and medical conditions caused by the alternation of cell DNA.
Most cases of cancer start in the cells on the surface of the inner lining of specific tissues and organs.
At the advanced stage, cancer not only can induce general symptoms such as gastrointestinal discomfort, unintended weight loss, fatigue, and loss but also induce specific symptoms, such as localized bleeding and pain, depending on the location of the cancer.
Also, at this stage, primary cancer cells can travel a distance away from the original site to infect other healthy tissues and organs, leading to secondary metastasis through the circulation of blood and fluids.
Furthermore, in the age perspective, older adults although are accounted for only 8% of all cases diagnosed in the US, have a 17% mortality rate compared to other age groups.
There are many prevalent factors associated with cancer onset, including an increase in age, excessive alcohol consumption, exposure to chemical toxins and sunlight, and infectious pathogens.
The 5 years survival rate is totally depending on the stage of cancer diagnosed. The early diagnosed stage has the highest survival rate compared to other later stages.
Beta-Sitosterol is a phytochemical in the class of Phytosterols, belonging to the group of Lipids, found abundantly in avocados, rice bran, wheat germ, corn oils, fennel, peanuts, soybeans, hawthorn, basil, and buckwheat. etc.
On finding a potential phytochemical for the prevention and treatment of malignant tumors, researchers examined the effect of beta-sitosterol (BS), a plant-derived nutrient on several types of cancer, including breast cancer, prostate cancer, and colon cancer, lung cancer, stomach cancer, ovarian cancer, and leukemia.

Some cancers can be slow-growth, including prostate and colon cancer. Primary cancer at stages 0 and 1 may not induce any symptoms. However, at the later stage, a larger size tumor can induce specific symptoms depending on the affected organ accompanied by some general symptoms found in all types of cancer.
According to the statistic provided by the American Cancer Society, in the US in 2019, approximately 1,762,450 new cancer cases will be diagnosed and 606,880 deaths are results from cancer.

According to some studies, BS interferes with multiple cell signaling pathways, associated with cancer progression, including cell cycle, apoptosis, proliferation, survival, invasion, angiogenesis, metastasis, and inflammation.
BS which is delivered directly to the cancer cells is relatively less potent, compared to BS delivery through liposomes.
In other words, in order to offset the lower efficacy of BS, designing BS delivery for "cancer cell-specific" therapy is necessary.

Healthy Food #Artichoke, Protects the Upper Digestive Tract Against Functional Dyspepsia (FD), Researchers Suggest
By Kyle J. Norton
Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a chronic condition characterized by a burning sensation caused by uncoordinated and ineffectual emptying of the upper digestive tract with no measurable structural abnormalities.
Functional dyspepsia (FD) is subdivided into two types: postprandial distress syndrome (PDS) and epigastric pain syndrome (EPS).
According to statistics, approximately 20-45% of Canadians have such a condition, but only a low percentage of patients seek help from physicians. and functional dyspepsia accounts for 62.5% of dyspepsia in a population of black African patients, compared to other races.
The exact causes of functional dyspepsia are unidentified. Some researchers suggested that excessive acid secretion, inflammation, food allergies, unhealthy lifestyle choice, and long-term use of medications may have strong implications for the onset of the syndrome.
Pain, digestive discomforts such as fullness and bloating, excessive burping, nausea, and sometimes vomiting GERD, and a sour taste in the mouth are the most common symptoms of functional dyspepsia.
If you experience some of the aforementioned symptoms, please make sure you check with your doctor to rule out the possibility.
Some researchers suggested that unhealthy dietary habits are one of the major risk factors associated with the onset of FD in the world.
Dr. Ji-Hao Xu, the lead scientist in the assessment of dietary habits in the risk of FD, wrote, "Unhealthy dietary habits were more prevalent in the FD group than in the control groups (75.86% versus 37.50%; p<0.001). FD was found to be associated with irregular mealtime, dining out, fatty food, sweet food, and coffee (p<0.05). The impact of each dietary factor varied with FD subtypes".
And, "Certain types of dietary habits were positively correlated with the prevalence of FD. FD subtypes showed relatively different associations with dietary factors".
The finding strongly suggested by following a healthy diet pattern, FD may be preventable.
Artichoke is a perennial thistle of Cynara cardunculus species of the Cynara genus, belonging to the family Carduoideae native to Southern Europe around the Mediterranean.
The herbal plant has been used in traditional medicine as a liver protective and detoxified agent, and to treat digestive disorders, abdominal pain gas and bloating, etc.
In the finding of natural therapeutics for the treatment of functional dyspepsia (FD), researchers compared the efficacy of ginger and artichoke supplementation (SG) versus placebo in the treatment of FD.
The prospective multicentre, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group comparison of the supplement and placebo over a period of 4 weeks included 126 FD patients given 2 capsules/day (before lunch and dinner (supplementation/placebo: 65/61).
After 14 days, supplement treatment showed a significant amelioration of FD, compared to placebo.
SG treatment group also showed a significant reduction of nausea, epigastric fullness, epigastric pain, and bloating compared to the placebo.
Dr.Giacosa A, the lead scientist wrote, "The association between ginger and artichoke leaf extracts appears safe and efficacious in the treatment of FD and could represent a promising treatment for this disease".
In order to reveal more information about artichoke anti-FD property, researchers assessed the efficacy of artichoke leaf extract (ALE) in the treatment of patients with functional dyspepsia (FD).
The double-blind, randomized controlled trial (RCT) included 247 patients with functional dyspepsia treated with either a commercial ALE preparation (2 x 320 mg plant extract t.d.s.) or a placebo.
ALE improved the overall symptom significantly over the 6 weeks compared to the placebo
Similarly, patients treated with ALE also showed significantly greater improvement in the global quality-of-life scores (NDI) compared to the placebo.
Dr. Holtmann G, the lead scientist after taking into account co and confounders wrote in the final report, "the ALE preparation tested was significantly better than the placebo in alleviating symptoms and improving the disease-specific quality of life in patients with functional dyspepsia".
Taken altogether, artichoke may be considered a functional remedy for the prevention and treatment of functional dyspepsia (FD), pending the confirmation of a larger sample and multicenter human study.

Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a chronic condition characterized by a burning sensation caused by uncoordinated and ineffectual emptying of the upper digestive tract with no measurable structural abnormalities.
Functional dyspepsia (FD) is subdivided into two types: postprandial distress syndrome (PDS) and epigastric pain syndrome (EPS).
According to statistics, approximately 20-45% of Canadians have such a condition, but only a low percentage of patients seek help from physicians. and functional dyspepsia accounts for 62.5% of dyspepsia in a population of black African patients, compared to other races.
The exact causes of functional dyspepsia are unidentified. Some researchers suggested that excessive acid secretion, inflammation, food allergies, unhealthy lifestyle choice, and long-term use of medications may have strong implications for the onset of the syndrome.
Pain, digestive discomforts such as fullness and bloating, excessive burping, nausea, and sometimes vomiting GERD, and a sour taste in the mouth are the most common symptoms of functional dyspepsia.
If you experience some of the aforementioned symptoms, please make sure you check with your doctor to rule out the possibility.
Some researchers suggested that unhealthy dietary habits are one of the major risk factors associated with the onset of FD in the world.
Dr. Ji-Hao Xu, the lead scientist in the assessment of dietary habits in the risk of FD, wrote, "Unhealthy dietary habits were more prevalent in the FD group than in the control groups (75.86% versus 37.50%; p<0.001). FD was found to be associated with irregular mealtime, dining out, fatty food, sweet food, and coffee (p<0.05). The impact of each dietary factor varied with FD subtypes".
And, "Certain types of dietary habits were positively correlated with the prevalence of FD. FD subtypes showed relatively different associations with dietary factors".
The finding strongly suggested by following a healthy diet pattern, FD may be preventable.
Artichoke is a perennial thistle of Cynara cardunculus species of the Cynara genus, belonging to the family Carduoideae native to Southern Europe around the Mediterranean.
The herbal plant has been used in traditional medicine as a liver protective and detoxified agent, and to treat digestive disorders, abdominal pain gas and bloating, etc.
In the finding of natural therapeutics for the treatment of functional dyspepsia (FD), researchers compared the efficacy of ginger and artichoke supplementation (SG) versus placebo in the treatment of FD.
The prospective multicentre, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group comparison of the supplement and placebo over a period of 4 weeks included 126 FD patients given 2 capsules/day (before lunch and dinner (supplementation/placebo: 65/61).
After 14 days, supplement treatment showed a significant amelioration of FD, compared to placebo.
SG treatment group also showed a significant reduction of nausea, epigastric fullness, epigastric pain, and bloating compared to the placebo.
Dr.Giacosa A, the lead scientist wrote, "The association between ginger and artichoke leaf extracts appears safe and efficacious in the treatment of FD and could represent a promising treatment for this disease".
In order to reveal more information about artichoke anti-FD property, researchers assessed the efficacy of artichoke leaf extract (ALE) in the treatment of patients with functional dyspepsia (FD).
The double-blind, randomized controlled trial (RCT) included 247 patients with functional dyspepsia treated with either a commercial ALE preparation (2 x 320 mg plant extract t.d.s.) or a placebo.
ALE improved the overall symptom significantly over the 6 weeks compared to the placebo
Similarly, patients treated with ALE also showed significantly greater improvement in the global quality-of-life scores (NDI) compared to the placebo.
Dr. Holtmann G, the lead scientist after taking into account co and confounders wrote in the final report, "the ALE preparation tested was significantly better than the placebo in alleviating symptoms and improving the disease-specific quality of life in patients with functional dyspepsia".

Phytochemical Beta-Sitosterol May Process Anti Prostate Cancer Activity
By Kyle J. Norton
The prostate warped around the urethra is a gland of the male reproductive system found in front of the rectum and just below the bladder and responsible for making some of the semen that carries sperm.
The prostate warped around the urethra is a gland of the male reproductive system found in front of the rectum and just below the bladder and responsible for making some of the semen that carries sperm.
The muscle of the prostate gland also plays a critical in nourishing and protecting sperm by secreting fluid in perm ejaculation into the urethra.
Prostate cancer is a medical and chronic condition caused by cell growth irregular in the prostate gland. Most cases of prostate cancers are slow-growing and enlarged prostate and prostate cancer may be detected during Physical (rectum) exams.
Most cases of prostate cancer begin in the cells on the surface of the inner lining of the prostate tissue before penetrating into deeper layers to induce colonization.
At the advanced stage, the prostate cancer cells can spread to distant parts of the body, leading to secondary metastasis.

Most cases of prostate cancer begin in the cells on the surface of the inner lining of the prostate tissue before penetrating into deeper layers to induce colonization.
At the advanced stage, the prostate cancer cells can spread to distant parts of the body, leading to secondary metastasis.
According to the statistics, prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men particularly older over 65, after skin cancer. in 2019, approximately 174,650 men in the US will be diagnosed with prostate cancer.
The average age of diagnosis is 66.
The most common symptoms of the prostate at the later stage are frequent urination and weak or interrupted urine flow due to the tumor that affects the tube surrounded by the prostate.
In some cases, patients may experience symptoms of blood in the urine and pain due to the oversize tumor that has pressed on the nearby blood vessels and nerve cells.
The new onset of erectile dysfunction is also common in patients with prostate cancer.
However, the fortified version of the extract that contained higher levels of isovanillin, linolenic acid, and β-sitosterol had a stronger effect on the cell death rate, compared to GZ17.
More importantly, GZ17 showed no toxic effects on healthy cells in the doses that were toxic to treated cancer cells.
In NU/NU mice with xenograft prostate tumors, GZ17 treatment had a dramatic inhibition of tumor progression, compared to tumors steadily growing in the control group through the 3 weeks.

The new onset of erectile dysfunction is also common in patients with prostate cancer.
Beta-Sitosterol is a phytochemical in the class of Phytosterols, belonging to the group of Lipids, found abundantly in avocados, rice bran, wheat germ, corn oils, fennel, peanuts, soybeans, hawthorn, basil, and buckwheat. etc.
On finding a potential phytochemical for the prevention and treatment of cancer, researchers examined the effect of Arum Palaestinum extract containing additional isovanillin, linolenic acid, and β-sitosterol (GZ17) on prostate cancer in an animal model.
The study included male NU/NU mice (8 weeks old) with xenograft tumors derived from the prostate cancer cell line treated daily with 1000 mg/kg body weight gavage of the suspension GZ17 with control mice (10 mice in each group) received a vehicle in the same manner and volume.

Arum Palaestinum extract GZ17 showed a decline in the number of live prostates cancer cells in a dose/dependent manner after a 24 h exposure at doses of 0.015 to 6.25 mg/mL.
However, the fortified version of the extract that contained higher levels of isovanillin, linolenic acid, and β-sitosterol had a stronger effect on the cell death rate, compared to GZ17.
At the highest dose, GZ17 increased cell death from 30 % to 55 % compared to the vehicle control that had no effect on cell numbers.
Finally, according to the tumor assays, the rate of tumor volume increase was 73 mm(3)/day for the vehicle group compared to only 24 mm(3)/day in GZ17 treated mice.
Based on the results, researchers said, "Fortified Arum palaestinum Boiss caused a reduction in live cells within prostate cancer spheroids and blocked tumor growth in xenografted prostate tumors in mice without signs of toxicity".
Taken altogether, beta-Sitosterol used a combination with other herbal medicine and phytochemicals may be considered a supplement for the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of beta-Sitosterol in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose and acute liver toxicity.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids Protect and Improve Cognitive Functions
By Kyle J. Norton
The central nervous system (CNS) is a complex network that controls most functions of the body and mind consisting of two parts, the brain, and the spinal cord.
Cognition is the process of the brain functioning associated with the attention of working memory, producing and comprehending language, learning, reasoning, problem-solving, and decision making.
On the other hand, cognitive impairment, depending on the severity of the condition, the infected person has trouble remembering, learning new things, concentrating, or making decisions that affect the quality of their everyday life.
Omega-3 fatty acids are phytochemicals in the class of lipids, found abundantly in deepsea fisk, dark-green leafy vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, etc.
The three main components of Omega-3 fatty acids are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
On finding a potential phytochemical for the protection of cognitive functioning, researchers examined the effect of ω3 PUFA on an animal model that exhibits severe cognitive impairments (learning, memory).
The study included adult male mouse lemurs fed for 5 months on a control diet or on a diet supplemented with long-chain ω3 PUFA (n = 6 per group).
In vivo, ω3 PUFA supplementation lowered the anxiety in tested mice compared to control.
The central nervous system (CNS) is a complex network that controls most functions of the body and mind consisting of two parts, the brain, and the spinal cord.
On the other hand, cognitive impairment, depending on the severity of the condition, the infected person has trouble remembering, learning new things, concentrating, or making decisions that affect the quality of their everyday life.
Acute cognitive impairment is a short-term health problem caused by drug toxicity and withdrawal, electrolyte disturbance, lack of drugs, liver disease, infection, reduced sensor input, intracranial urinary retention/fecal impaction, or myocardial/metabolic/pulmonary. An acute cognitive deficit may be recovered if the cause is found.
Chronic cognitive impairment is a permanent medical condition caused by the gradual or permanent loss of neurons, leading to problems with language, ideomotor and constructive praxis, visual gnosis, spatial attention, learning abilities, and executive functions.
In the elderly, most cases of cognitive impairment are associated with neurodegenerative diseases and long-term use of medication, including Alzheimer's disease.
However, malnutrition, hormone imbalance such as thyroid hormone, mental illness, and substance abuse, particularly, in brain damage or injury are some of the major and prevalent risk factors that can cause the early onset of cognitive impairment.

However, malnutrition, hormone imbalance such as thyroid hormone, mental illness, and substance abuse, particularly, in brain damage or injury are some of the major and prevalent risk factors that can cause the early onset of cognitive impairment.
There is no single cause of chronic cognitive impairment. An increase in age, genetic preposition, and certain medical conditions, such as diabetes, high blood cholesterol, pressure, being obese, and lack of exercise are some prevalent factors found in patients with chronic cognitive deficits.
Omega-3 fatty acids are phytochemicals in the class of lipids, found abundantly in deepsea fisk, dark-green leafy vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, etc.
On finding a potential phytochemical for the protection of cognitive functioning, researchers examined the effect of ω3 PUFA on an animal model that exhibits severe cognitive impairments (learning, memory).
In cognitive parameters assays, ω3-supplementation mouses showed a better performance in a reference spatial memory task (80% of successful trials vs 35% in controls, p<0.05) and reduced spontaneous locomotor activity by 31%.
Importantly, chronic dietary ω3 PUFA supplementation positively impacts anxiety and cognitive performances in the adult mouse lemur.
Based on the findings, researchers said, "The supplementation of human food with ω3 fatty acids may represent a valuable dietary strategy to improve behavioral and cognitive functions".
Taken altogether, Omega-3 fatty acids may be considered a functional supplement for the prevention and treatment of cognitive functions, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of Omega-3 fatty acids in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose and acute liver toxicity.
