New Research Suggests Viagra May Hold Promise in Alzheimer’s Prevention, Clinical Trials Needed
New Possible Link Found between Viagra and Alzheimer’s Disease Prevention
By [Your Name]
Recent research conducted by scientists from the Cleveland Clinic suggests a potential association between the use of sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra, and a decreased risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. While findings are not yet conclusive, this study adds to an emerging body of evidence supporting the repurposing of existing FDA-approved drugs for Alzheimer’s treatment.
Evaluating the Study
“The study found that people taking sildenafil were noticeably less likely to develop Alzheimer’s than similar patients not taking it.”
“The very next year, another study that examined Medicare data failed to find such a connection.”

The study published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease builds upon previous research conducted by the same team, which demonstrated evidence suggesting s

A new start for your body
Spring is a time of renewal, not only for nature but also for our bodies and minds. It’s a time when we leave winter behind and prepare for the more active and warmer days to come. An important aspect of this preparation is to support our body with the right nutrients. This can be done through food supplements that give us an extra boost. But which supplements are really worth taking in spring? Let’s dive into the world of food supplements suitable for this new beginning.
Vitamin D: the sunshine vitamin
After a long, dark winter, a vitamin D deficiency may occur due to lack of sunlight. Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption, immune system support and maintaining proper muscle function. A daily vitamin D supplement can help replenish stores and prepare you for longer days outdoors.
Omega-3 fatty acids: for heart and head
Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish oil or algae oil supplements, are essential for maintaining heart health and also supporting cognitive functions. In the spring, when we become more active, additional omega-3 intake can help reduce inflammation and improve mental clarity.
Vitamin C: a boost for your immune system
The transition from winter to spring can sometimes put a strain on our immune system. Vitamin C is known for its powerful antioxidant properties and immune system support. It helps in the production of white blood cells, which protect our body from infections. A daily dose of vitamin C can give you that extra shield in the spring.
Probiotics: for a healthy intestinal flora
With the arrival of spring our eating habits also change. More and more fresh fruit and vegetables are making their way onto our plates. Supportin

[양종구의 100세 시대 건강법]“Thanks to playing tennis for 50 years, I can enjoy many sports even in my 70s.”
Toyo Corporation Chairman Mok I-kyun (74) has been playing tennis since 1974. He had been enjoying table tennis with his friends since high school, and he started playing with his college friend when he boasted that he played tennis. He still plays tennis more than four times a week and is enjoying a healthy old age.
“In our time, we were into table tennis because of Ierisa Ierisa and Hyunsook Jeong, who won the team event at the 1973 World Table Tennis Championships in Sarajevo. However, around the time tennis became popular, one of my classmates at Korea University was at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), and he boasted about playing tennis on the institute’s court. So, I ran to KIST and started learning while playing.”
Chairman Mok has been a sports fanatic since his high school days. However, tennis was very different from table tennis. He swung the tennis racket as if he were swinging a light table tennis racket, and it didn’t fit well. He ran a lot longer than tennis. He said, “If table tennis requires good use of small muscles, tennis requires good use of large muscles. “It was a lot of fun to beat my opponents wit

When your mother gets cancer
“There is a guy, I will go to Kaunas, need to be checked.At that moment, I was walking across a busy street in Washington, but involuntarily stopped on a green island between the lanes of traffic. It was a clear day, but that time everything seemed to be overcast and gray. My childhood home, smelling of my mother’s baked pies and ears of corn, began to recede. The world that describes me seems to be suspended in time. And that big hospital building in front of me, like a reproach, looks at me as if on purpose. I work in a medical facility, my mother needs me now, and I’m so far away, across the ocean, I can’t take care of her… What if my mother’s illness is very bad?
Although the connection between the two of us was very close and I had never felt the ocean separating us before, that time I felt like I was in another world – I was scared, how I’m still far away, I can’t jump on the bus and go to my mother’s house in half an hour. There was emptiness and fear that I couldn’t hug her, be physically with her…
After all, my mother is already over 70 years old, it is difficult for her to find her way in the confusing corridors of clinics, to understand what the doctor is saying, what treatment is offered and so on. That’s how I wanted to accompany her to Kaunas… Every time she visited the doctors, we connected by phone. I regretted that Lithuania does not have such a developed mutual support network as there is here in America. It hurt my heart so much that my mother is alone on the journey of illness, but during one conversati

Increasing the production of lymphocytes would allow the body to respond better to the threats of new pathogens
MADRID (EFE).— An antibody therapy, described yesterday in the magazine “Nature”, managed to rejuvenate the immune system in elderly mice and researchers believe that it will be viable in humans once it passes preclinical and clinical studies.
As people age, the immune system weakens and there are difficulties in fighting diseases and new viruses, and making the vaccines to combat them take effect, as happened with Covid-19.
The cause is in hematopoietic cells or adult stem cells, responsible for producing lymphocytes, which defend the body against a new threat (adaptive immunity), and myeloid cells, which respond with inflammation to pathogens (innate immunity).
Irving Weissman, a researcher at Stanford University School of Medicine and one of the study’s authors, isolated adult stem cells in mice and humans in the late 1980s. His work showed that late in life The production of lymphocytes and myeloid cells by adult stem cells becomes unbalanced: the creation of lymphocytes falls and, with it, the capacity to react to new viruses and bacteria, and that of myeloid cells increases, which kill any unknow
