Intake of fennel daily and regularly may have a profound and positive effect in enhancing memory, some scientists suggested.
The human brain consists of billions of neurons, some of them were given a special function in storing the event from the past.
In other words, there is a faculty in the human brain in which the mind stores and remembers information.
There are 2 types of memory. Short-term memory (STM) is a temporary storage system that processes the working memory, reacting by taking into information that already happened in the past.
Long-term memories are information collected by the brain that can last for just a few days, or years. Some long-term memories are more important than others.
Memory loss occurs often in the aging population. It is a normal degeneration, however, we can’t take action to slow it down a little.
Some researchers suggested that a change in lifestyle, such as meditation and eating habits such as reduced intake of red meat which has been found to be associated with lipid peroxidation can improve or slow down the risk of memory loss.
Dr. Xian Jiang, the lead author in the evaluation of the consumption of fruit and vegetables in the risk of cognitive impairment and dementia, wrote, "The meta-analysis showed that increased consumption of fruit and vegetables was associated with a significant reduction in the risk of cognitive impairment and dementia (the leading cause of memory loss)".
Risks of cognitive impairment and dementia-inducing memory loss were reduced by approximately 13% for an increment of 100 g per day of fruit and vegetable consumption.
A study that examines the fennel enhancing memory activity in an orogastric tube suggested that administration at doses of 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg body weight, fennel displays a significant effect in enhancing short and long-term memory.
Scientists at the research center, after taking into account all factors, recommended that adding a portion of fennel to the daily diet may improve memory in all aspects.
Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a plant species of the genus, belonging to Apiaceae (Umbelliferae), native to the Mediterranean.
The herbal medicine has been used in traditional and herbal medicine, like warming, carminative, antispasmodic, antidepressant agent and to stimulate the appetite, ease indigestion, soothe coughing, reduce intestinal spasms, to regulate the menstrual cycle and relieve PMS,...
According to the observation of urinary levels of vanillylmandelic acid (VMA), daily administration of F. Vulgare extract (50, 100, and 200 mg/kg body weight) 1 h prior to the induction of stress, exerted significantly altered the stress in reducing central nervous system in the expression of stress hormone production from 395.79 to 347.12, 311.21 and 258.86 μg/kg, receptively.
In comparison to ascorbic acid, fennel extracts treated groups also exhibited potent antioxidant effect by inhibiting lipid peroxidation in both tested rats liver and brain homogenates to a greater extent.
These results suggested that fennel extract may also improve brain function by reducing oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation in the induction of neuron cells cytotoxicity and apoptosis in facilitating plaque accumulation in the neurons, the process has long been found to decrease long-term memory recalled.
In the same period, memory deficits induced by scopolamine (1mg/kg, i.p.) in rats were significantly reversed by F. Vulgare dose-dependently.
Dr. A. E. Bawazirand, the lead author of the research paper said, "F. vulgare may be useful in the management of stress and stress-related disorders on account of its multiple actions such as anti-stress, memory-enhancing and antioxidant effects".
Further analysis of the enhanced memory and intelligence of F. vulgaris, an ayurvedic Rasayana (mixture) served to children as part of their food in Indian traditional medicine, scientists found that ingestion of whole plant extract at doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg exhibits a strong memory-enhancing effect against scopolamine-induced amnesic rats.
Observed by conditioned avoidance response (CAR) technique, group treated with fennel extract of rats through gradually increased administration up to 95% over 7 to 12 days demonstrated a significant increase of percent avoidance due to information feedback from previous experience, compared to control group.
Additionally, fennel extracts showed strong linearly and independently in memory recalled from tested rats.
As Animals received 200 mg/kg body weight of the extract took ten days, while groups treated with 100 and 50 mg/kg doses of the extract required eleven and twelve days, respectively, to reach the point of acquisition.
Importantly, during the period of the experiment, treated rats demonstrated significantly less amnesia, a partial or total loss of memory induced by scopolamine in comparison to the nontreatment group.
Continuously, fennel treatment also produced better retention and recovery of memory deficits in a dose-dependent manner than the vehicle-treated animals.
Dr. Shamkant B. Badgujar, the lead scientist said, "Recovery from scopolamine-induced amnesia in the extract-treated groups took 3–5 days when compared to normal (control) group which took over 6 days".
Some researchers suggested that the neuro memory enhancement of fennel extracts may be attributed by the effective influence as a sedative and the herbal protective effects in the maintenance of brain tissue through directly increase the total content of neurotransmitters in all the tested regions.
Finally, "Fennel is likely to be safe for use as a moderator and enhancer of the functions of the central nervous system by increasing the total content of neurotransmitters and also can be a protection against stress and stress-related diseases such as memory loss, because it contains high amounts of antioxidants", according to the study of "Foeniculum vulgare Mill: A Review of Its Botany, Phytochemistry, Pharmacology, Contemporary Application, and Toxicology" suggestion.
Taken together, Fennel whole plant and whole plant extracts may be considered as a function in improved memory in all aspects.
These results also reaffirmed the use of fennel as a brain enhancer product by traditional herbal medicine.

#Herbal #Bilberry Enhances Short-Term Memory and Prevent Memory Deficits Related to AD, According to Researchers
Kyle J. Norton
Memory impairment is a condition of partial or complete loss of memory, depending on the quality of the neuron that has been affected.
Memory impairment other than the physical impact is a progressive disease that can lead to permanent loss of memory due to the gradual loss of neurons in the brain.
The most common risk factors associated with memory loss in the general population are long-term use of certain medications, excessive alcohol drinking, smoking, drug abuse, depression, nutrient deficiency, stroke, and daily stress.
In elderly or aging-induced memory loss is associated with the deterioration of a region of the brain involved in the formation and retrieval of memories, the hippocampus, and the reduced hormones and protein that protect and repair brain cells and stimulate neural growth.
However, some researchers suggested the rise of memory impairment in the elderly probably is correlated to the promotion of the Western diet over the past few decades.
Dr. Scott E. Kanoski, the lead scientist in the review of the risk cognitive impairment in the Western diet consumption wrote, "Intake of saturated fats and simple carbohydrates, two of the primary components of a modern Western diet, is linked with the development of obesity and Alzheimer's Disease".
And, "Western diet intake is associated with cognitive impairment, with a specific emphasis on learning and memory functions that are dependent on the integrity of the hippocampus".
The results clearly stated if you are a Western diet follower, you are at a higher risk of memory impairment compared to healthy diet individuals.
Bilberry is a species of low-growing shrubs in the genus Vaccinium, belonging to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern Europe.
The plant berry has been used as herbs in traditional medicine for the treatment of acute and chronic diarrhea, gastritis, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, enterocolitis, ulcerative colitis, anemia, cystitis, kidney disease, psoriasis, diabetes, etc.
With an aim to find a potential ingredient for the treatment of memory impairment researchers investigated the effects of Vaccinium uliginosum L. (bilberry) on the learning and memory impairments induced by amyloid-β protein (AβP) 1-42.
The evaluation included selected ICR Swiss mice divided randomly into 4 groups: the control (Aβ40-1A), control with 5% bilberry group (Aβ40-1B), amyloid β protein 1-42 treated group (Aβ1-42A), and Aβ1-42 with 5% bilberry group (Aβ1-42B).
According to the tested assays, bilberry-added groups showed to decrease in the finding time of the hidden platform, compared to those of escape latencies of AβP to that of Aβ40-1.
Furthermore, the bilberry-added Aβ1-42B group also showed a significant (P<0.05) increase in probe crossing frequency compared to Aβ1-42A.
In the passive avoidance test, bilberry significantly (P<0.05) increased the time of staying in the lighted area compared to AD control.
These results suggested that bilberry improved memory and learning capability in chemically induced Alzheimer's disease in experimental animal models.
In the incidence of degenerative disorders including Alzheimer's disease (AD), rats consumed approximately 3.2 mg kg(-1)day (oral), of the anthocyanins significantly enhanced short-term memory, but not long-term memory in the inhibitory avoidance task.
Moreover, injection of approximately 3.2 mg kg(-1)day (oral), of the anthocyanins also induced an increase in the number of crossings in the first exposure to the open field.
However, in the comparison of the radial maze and elevated plus-maze, lyophilized berries (blueberry, bilberry) improved working memory in the radial maze, with significant differences observed during sessions 1-2 and 4, compared to no effects in the elevated plus-maze task.
The findings strongly indicated the positive effects of administration of lyophilized Vaccinium berries (blueberry, bilberry) and anthocyanin in the prevention of memory deficits related to AD.
Taken together, bilberry-processed abundantly bioactive compound anthocyanin may be considered a functional remedy for the prevention and treatment of memory impairment, pending to the validation of a larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Herbal #Coltsfoot Induces Cyto-Protective Activity Against Overexpression ROS, According to Studies
Kyle J. Norton
Oxidative stress is a condition associated with the long-term imbalanced ratio of free radicals and antioxidants in the body, leading to protein, lipid, and cell damage that causes chronic illness such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
In other words, the condition is caused either by overexpression of free radicals depletion of antioxidant enzymes produced by the host, or both.
Antioxidants are either produced by the body or injected into the body from outside sources such as the consumption of antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables.
Free radicals are everywhere, including the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the body's daily functioning such as cell metabolism.
More precisely, any chemical compound that has an oxygen molecule can become a free radical after entering our body.
In healthy individuals, the antioxidant produced by the host is more than enough to counter the bombards of free radicals. However, people with a weakened immune system such as the elderly and immature immune systems such as the baby may need the injection of antioxidants from outside sources.
Particularly, people with a suppressive immune system due to chemotherapy may be required to intake large amounts of antioxidant-rich food regularly.
However, free radicals in moderate amount are needed for body functioning, including lower blood pressure, relax blood vessels to move blood, such as nitric oxide NO.
Coltsfoot(Tussilago farfara) is a perennial herbaceous plant, genus Tussilago, belonging to the family Asteraceae, native to Europe and Asia. The herb has been used for thousands of years to treat asthma, various coughs, bronchial congestion, respiratory disorders, headaches obstruction in the nasal passage, etc.
On finding a potential compound for the treatment of disease associated with oxidative stress, researchers examined the cytoprotective compound, 1-[(4S)-3,4-dihydro-4-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-2H-1-benzopyran-6-yl]-ethanone (1) isolated from the flower buds of Tussilago farfara L.
According to the tested analysis on (1) and other isolated compounds such as 3,4-dicaffeoyl isoquinic acid (2), trans-cinnamic acid (3), 4-hydroxyacetophenone (4), 4,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid methyl ester (5), 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid methyl ester (6), 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (7), isoquercetrin (8), and ligucyperonol (9), compounds 1 and 3 showed significant cytoprotective activities against glucose oxidase-induced oxidative stress in mouse fibroblast NIH3T3 cells and human keratinocyte HaCaT cells comapred others.
Furthermore, the MTT assay and lactate dehydrogenase leakage differentiation also supported the possibility of compounds 1 and 3 as the potent cytoprotective agents against overexpression of ROS.
Taken together, coltsfoot may be considered a remedy for the treatment of disease associated with oxidative stress-induced cytotoxicity, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Chastetreeberry Inhibits Proteins Associated with the Onset of #InflammatoryDiseases, Researchers Show
Kyle J. Norton
Chaste tree berries may process a strong anti-inflammatory effect in reduced symptoms of reddened, swollen, and hot caused by an overreaction of immunity, a study suggested.
Inflammatory activity is an action of the immune system taken to protect the body against injury and infection.
Chaste tree berry is a species of Vitex agnus-castus, genus Vitex, belonging to the family Lamiaceae, native to the Mediterranean region, used in herbal medicine for thousands of years as an aphrodisiac herb and considered a Queen herb in treating menstrual problems and discomforts.
According to Kyung Hee University, casticin a major compound found from Vitex species at doses of 1, 2, and 10mg/kg casticin via an i.p. injection to C57BL/6 mice, expressed a significant effect in inhibition of the numbers of cells of neutrophils, macrophages, and lymphocytes through reduced levels of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, as shown in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and lung histological analysis.
Furthermore, the tested compound also displayed a remarkably decreased peribronchial thickening or bronchial wall thickening and perivascular inflammatory cells and the epithelium thickness in mice with lung inflammation, particularly to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
In some newly found chemical compounds isolated from Chaste tree berry, namely a phenylindene-type lignan, vitexdoin F (1), and three phenylnaphthalene-type lignans, vitexdoins G, H and I (2-4) in the testing of anti-inflammatory activities, Compound 1 showed significant inhibition on the nitric oxide (NO) production (IC50 4.17 μg/mL) in induced inflammation.
Other, in the evaluation of the anti-arthritic activity of the extract of V. negundo seeds (EVNS) using Freund's complete adjuvant (CFA) induced arthritis (AA) in rat model, oral administrated rats showed elevated anti-inflammatory activities through suppressed paw edema, decreased the arthritis score, spleen index, and reversed the weight loss.
In fact, the efficacy of the extract of Chaste tree berry in reduced inflammation may be the result of suppressed expression of the protein in regulated pro-inflammatory cytokines in various inflammatory pathways.
Taken together, phytochemical compounds found in Chaste tree berries may exhibit strong anti-inflammatory properties by ameliorating the protein involved in the expression of proinflammatory
cytokines.

#Herbal Angelica Inhibits Oxidativestress Associated with a Reduced Risk of #ColorectalCancer, Scientists Find
Kyle J. Norton
The colorectum including the large intestine and the rectum is the second part of the digestive system involved in the absorption of water from the small bowel contents and breaks down certain materials in the feces into substances of which some of them be reabsorbed and reused by the body.
The colon also is known as the large bowel or large intestine, forms parts of the digestive system in our body.
The colon consists of four parts: descending colon, ascending colon, transverse colon, and sigmoid colon.
The main functions of the colon are to reabsorb fluids process waste products from the body and prepare for their elimination.
Colorectal cancer is a medical condition caused by irregular cell growth in the tissue of the colon or rectum.
Most cases of colorectal cancer start in the cells on the surface of the inner lining of the colon and rectum, before penetrating into deeper layers to form a tumor through proliferation.
Colorectal cancer is a relatively very slow-growing cancer that progresses in a predictable way.
According to the statistics provided by the American Cancer Society, excluding skin cancers, colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosed in both men and women in the United States.
In 2019, approximately 101,420 new cases of colon cancer and 44,180 new cases of rectal cancer will be diagnosed in the US.
The 5-year survival rate of colorectal cancer diagnosed at the localized stage is 90%. Sadly, only 39% of patients are diagnosed at this early stage.
The most common types of colorectal cancer classified depending on the primary originated cells are
* Adenocarcinomas
Most bowel cancers are adenocarcinomas, originating in epithelium tissues, including the surface layer of skin, glands, and tissues that line the cavities and organs of the body.
* Squamous cell cancers
Squamous cells are the skin-like cells that make up the bowel lining together with the gland cells. Squamous cell cancers are rare with a risk of 25 per 100000 population.
In finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of cancers, scientists examined the chemopreventive effect of the supercritical extracts from Angelica sinensis (SFE-AS) on induced colorectal carcinoma in mice.
Angelica or Dang Qui is a herb of Genus Angelica from the family Apiaceae, indigenous to China.
The herb has been used as a Queen herb in traditional Chinese medicine antispasmodic and vasodilatory agent, and to balance the hormones in women for a normal menstrual cycle and menstruation and strengthen the heart, spleen, kidneys, and liver for both men and women, etc. In other words, it is used to treat gynecological ailments, fatigue, mild anemia, and high blood pressure. It has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, etc.
According to the results of selected male colorectal carcinoma mice that were subcutaneously injected with a single dose of azoxymethane (AOM, 10 mg x kg(-1) body weight) then one week later, given 2% dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) in drinking water for 7 days to induce colorectal carcinoma, following by oral administration of supercritical extracts from Angelica sinensis at 15, 30, 60 mg x kg(-1) until the 17th week,* The Tumor-bearing quantity and tumor-bearing volume of the SFE-AS group were lower than that of the AOM/DSS model control group.
* The SFE-AS group also showed a significant reduction of oxidative stress in the AOM/DSS-induced mouse colorectal carcinoma model associated with inflammation.
In other words, the application of Angelica sinensis at 15, 30, and 60 mg x kg(-1) and strong inhibitory activity against 2% dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) induced colorectal carcinoma,
Based on the evidence, researchers said, "SFE-AS showed an intervention effect in the incidence and development of AOM/DSS-induced mouse colorectal carcinoma associated with inflammation, and could be further used in chemo-preventive studies on human colorectal carcinoma".
Taken together, Herbal Angelica may be considered an anti-colorectal cancer herbal remedy, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

The colorectum including the large intestine and the rectum is the second part of the digestive system involved in the absorption of water from the small bowel contents and breaks down certain materials in the feces into substances of which some of them be reabsorbed and reused by the body.
The colon also is known as the large bowel or large intestine, forms parts of the digestive system in our body.
The colon consists of four parts: descending colon, ascending colon, transverse colon, and sigmoid colon.
The main functions of the colon are to reabsorb fluids process waste products from the body and prepare for their elimination.

#Herbal #Coltsfoot Inhibits Microglial Activation Associated with the Treatment of #NeurodegenerativeDiseases, Reserachers Say
Kyle J. Norton
Neuroprotection is a process to preserve the neuronal structure and/or function against the death or gradual death of neurons, including the use of medicines and herbs.
In other words, neuroprotection protects the neuronal integrity against the reduction in the rate of neuronal loss over time inducing neurological disease, including neurodegenerative disease.
Neurodegenerative disease is the class of conditions associated with the progressive loss of neurons that occurs mostly in older adults, including dementia. The most common dementia in the US is Alzheimer`s disease (AD).
Alzheimer's disease is an irreversible, progressive brain disorder caused by the slow loss of neuron in the brain that affects memory and thinking skills and, eventually, the ability to carry out the simplest tasks as the disease progress into an advanced stage.
According to the statistics, dementia affects over 47.5 million people worldwide, and approximately 58 percent are living in low and middle-income countries.
Believe it or not, 5.8 million Americans of all ages are living with Alzheimer's dementia in 2019 and two-thirds of people with Alzheimer's disease are women.
Conventionally, as of today, there is no cure for dementia. Treatment of dementia is focusing to improve dementia symptoms and slowing down the progression of the disease.
Coltsfoot(Tussilago farfara) is a perennial herbaceous plant, genus Tussilago, belonging to the family Asteraceae, native to Europe and Asia. The herb has been used for thousands of years to treat asthma, various coughs, bronchial congestion, respiratory disorders, headaches obstruction in the nasal passage, etc.
In finding a potential compound for the treatment of the neurological disorder, researchers examined the neuroprotective effect of Tussilagone (TSL) on LPS-induced neuronal cell death.
According to the tested assays, 4 sesquiterpenoids isolated from the TSL showed a significant effect against the production of nitric oxide, prostaglandin E2, and tumor necrosis factor-α in LPS-treated BV-2 cells.
In other words, the sesquiterpenoids inhibited the production of free radicals and proinflammatory expression associated with the BV-2 cells' oxidative stress induced by LPS.
More precisely, the inhibition against the initiation of oxidative stress was attributed to the sesquiterpenoids' activity in blocking the activation of the proinflammatory (NF-κB) pathway
Furthermore, the sesquiterpenoids also inhibited LPS-induced neuronal cell death in the co-culture system by inhibiting the expression of NF-κB pathway and scavenging of ROS.
Based on the findings, researchers said, "sesquiterpenoids from Tussilago farfara may have beneficial therapeutic potential for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases through inhibition of microglial activation".
Taken together, coltsfoot may be considered a remedy for the treatment of neurological disease, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Onion Reduces The Risk of Esophageal Cancer, According to Clinical Trials
Kyle J. Norton
An esophagus or gullet, an organ in vertebrates, is the tube that leads food from the pharynx to the stomach.
Esophageal cancer is a medical condition caused by cell growth disorderly and uncontrollably in the tissue of the esophagus due to the alternation of the cell DNA.
More precisely, esophageal cancer can be a result of DNA alternation of the cells that line the upper part of the esophagus or glandular cells that line the lower part of the esophagus, connecting to the stomach.
Patients with esophageal cancer at a very early stage due to the very small size of the tumor are asymptomatic. However, at the advanced stage, esophageal cancer tends to travel a distance away to infect other healthy tissues and organs, leading to secondary metastasis.
The most common areas of metastasis of esophageal cancer are lymph nodes around the bottom of the esophagus, stomach, and chest.
According to the statistics, esophageal cancer is the seventh most common cause of cancer death among men. In 2019, about 17,650 new esophageal cancer cases will be diagnosed, including 13,750 men and 3,900 women.
Esophageal cancer will cause the death of 16,080 Americans, including 13,020 men and 3,060 women.
Believe it or not, esophageal cancer is more common among men than among women. The lifetime risk of esophageal cancer in the US is 1 in 132 in men and about 1 in 455 in women.
Esophageal cancer can be classified, depending on the location in which the cancer starts
* Squamous cancer
If the cancer cell starts in the upper part of the esophagus caused by the DNA alternation of the squamous cell.
* Adenocarcinomas
If the cancer cell starts in the lower part of the esophagus caused by the DNA and alternation of the glandular cells.
The most common symptoms of esophageal cancer are difficulty swallowing or pain caused by refluxing or swallowing, pain in the throat or back, behind the breastbone, heartburn, hoarseness or coughing, coughing blood, and accompanied by the general symptoms shared by other types of cancer.
The onion is a plant in the genus Allium, belonging to the family Alliaceae, closely related of garlic. It is often called the "king of vegetables" because of its pungent taste and found in a large number of recipes and preparations spanning almost the totality of the world's cultures.
Depending on the variety, an onion can be sharp, spicy, tangy, pungent, mild or sweet.
In finding a potential compound for the treatment of esophageal cancer, researchers examined the effect of raw garlic/onion consumed at least one time per week on the development of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in three different sections of the esophagus.
The study included a total of 343 patients with SCC of the esophagus and 755 cancer-free control subjects recruited for this study from 1996 to 2005.
According to the results of tested assays, intake of raw onions/garlic, and fruits is significantly protective against esophageal SSC risk compared to the increased risk of hot foods.
In other words, adding additional certain dietary components may affect carcinogenesis locally and systemically.
Furthermore, according to the study of the Istituto di Ricerche Farmacologiche "Mario Negri",
consumption of onions showed a protective effect on esophageal cancer, compared to garlic and other vegetables.
More precisely, onion and garlic intake improved the relative risk ratio by 0.12 and 0.43, respectively.
The results strongly suggested the inverse association between the frequency of use of allium vegetables such as onion and garlic against the risk of several common cancers, including esophageal cancer
Dr. Galeone C wrote in the final report, "Allium vegetables are a favorable correlate of cancer risk in Europe".
Taken altogether, onion may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of adjuvant esophageal cancer, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
