Eating eggs and meat improves mental performance in men

26.10.2023

Recent research from Finland suggests that eating choline-rich foods such as eggs and meat is associated with improved cognitive function and a reduced risk of dementia in men.

Scientists from the University of Eastern Finland found that high levels of choline in men's diets were associated with better memory and language skills, as well as a reduced risk of dementia. Men who consume more choline have a 28% lower risk of developing dementia compared to those who consume low amounts. The main sources of choline in the diet of men were eggs and meat.

The study, conducted over more than 20 years, included analysis of data from 2500 Finnish men aged 42 to 60 years. After several years of research, 500 men were tested to assess their memory and cognitive abilities. Over the entire study period, 337 men developed dementia.

Choline, also known as vitamin B4, is involved in the synthesis of the important neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Previous studies have already indicated the protective role of choline in relation to the central nervous system, preventing cognitive decline and the development of Alzheimer's disease. In this study, men with high choline intake performed better on cognitive tests and maintained high quality mental performance as they aged.

These new findings, according to scientists, may play an important role in the prevention of dementia.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>
