This is a quick story that looks at a health condition that may contribute to memory loss as you grow older. Researchers found that older adults with larger waistlines, high blood pressure Cheap Men's Air Max 97 All Black , and other factors that make up ?metabolic syndrome? may be at a higher risk for memory loss. It is published now in an online issue of ?Neurology.?
It?s another look at how to keep an aging brain strong. Metabolic syndrome is a dangerous condition that means you have three or more of these risk factors: high blood pressure; excess belly fat; higher than normal triglycerides (a type of fat found in the blood); high blood sugar; and low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, or ?good? cholesterol. This syndrome has also been tied to an increased risk of heart attack.
For the study, more than 7 Cheap Men's Air Max 97 Ultra Triple Black Shoes ,000 adults over 65 from three French cities were tested for metabolic syndrome. A total of 16% of them were discovered to have metabolic syndrome. Participants were given a series of memory and cognitive function tests two and four years later. These included a memory test, a test of visual working memory and a test of ?word fluency.?
Researchers found that people who had metabolic syndrome were 20% more likely to have cognitive decline on the memory test than those who were free of the syndrome. People with metabolic syndrome also were 13% more likely to have cognitive decline on the visual working memory test.
And specifically, higher triglycerides and low HDL cholesterol were linked to poorer memory scores. Having diabetes was linked to poorer visual working memory and word fluency scores.
This helps shed light on how metabolic syndrome and its various factors affect our brain?s health. If we can manage the factors that contribute to the syndrome Cheap Men's Air Max 97 Silver Grey Red , then we can help slow down age-related memory loss. Or even delay the onset of dementia.

I see it every day. Young bucks come into gym in their high school years and train and make astounding gains and begin to think about bodybuilding. Testosterone is at its peak during these years and just seems they can't get enough of the gym or the results they are achieving. By the time the senior year rolls around, they are at their peak physically. It came so easily, it seems Cheap Air Max 97 Summit White Shoes , that development will stay forever.
However life begins to change after high school. College starts in the fall or perhaps you start a full time job. Distractions are everywhere. Many football, baseball and wrestling jocks of high school no longer shine above their college competition and most do not continue disciplined organized sports that once brought you to the gym in the first place.
Besides not playing the sports, studies are now more time consuming. The food is all you can eat at the student cafeteria and Cheap Air Max 97 OG UNDFTD Undefeated Black Red , well, beer parties are everywhere. This is the most fun ever, you think. By the time Thanksgiving rolls around Cheap Air Max 97 OG UNDFTD Undefeated Sail Red White , no time was found for the gym and you are well on way to the freshman fifteen. That is the fifteen pounds of smoothing fat that you picked up during the first year on your own away from home. Bodybuilding was but a memory back home.
Spring rolls around and you are back home for the summer. But wow have you changed? Heavier, smoother and where did those muscles go? You return to the gym for the summer to get in shape. You find it is next to impossible to return the body to its former ripped state much less building up this summer.
My point here guys, bodybuilding is not for the weak willed. If you want to continue to be in shape you must plan the discipline of working out if you are going to have the better body. Bodybuilding is tough. Don't kid yourself. If it was easy everyone would be in shape.
So what should you do? Well if you are college bound do the following:
-During campus visit check out the gym facilities. Determine if the equipment is suitable to meet your bodybuilding needs.
-Do your campus visit during the normal school year to get a feel for the people that are going. Is the gym too crowded (undersized for the campus)? What is the attitude of those training Cheap Air Max 97 OG UNDFTD Undefeated Olive Green Orange , motivational or passively active.
-How close is the gym to the living quarters? Is it convenient?
-What are the food choices at the cafeteria? Can I get the high protein foods? Is food overly processed? What are the off campus choices?
Now I am not saying that you make your college selection based solely upon the gym facilities but it should be a factor if you are serious about your training.
-Finally once you arrive at college, review your class schedule. Then clearly plan a workout time along with your study and class time. If you have to put a routine in the morning, just do it.
-Settle into a routine and stick to it.
-Don't stay up so late. You need your rest to recover from workouts and besides late nights will cause you to want to sleep through that morning routine.
