Viagra Users Have 18% Lower Risk of Alzheimers
#Viagra #Users #Risk #Alzheimers
Continues after advertising
Last Wednesday (7), a new survey by the periodical Neurology suggested that users of Viagra, the famous erectile dysfunction drug, have an 18% lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s. Researchers found that the more prescriptions, the lower the risk.
For the public who received 21 to 50 pill prescriptions for erectile dysfunction, the risk was 44% lower. Researchers are cautious about saying whether medications are really responsible for this effect, as there is currently no evidence. However, the analysis reinforces the idea that the use of Viagra leads to a lower risk of Alzheimer’s, already raised by other studies in the area.
Precisely to achieve this certainty, the group exposes the need for future clinical trials, focused on analyzing the effects of medications on Alzheimer’s disease, both in women and men (since in this case, the study was carried out only with men) .
In total, more than 260,000 men diagnosed with erectile dysfunction participated in the study. None had evidence of memory or thinking problems. They were followed over five years.
Why does Viagra reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s?

Diet, be careful about making this serious and common mistake: you risk having a serious physical problem
Recent research has shown that quick-fix diets, such as crash diets and prolonged fasts, can have serious implications for overall health. While the promise of rapid weight loss may be tempting, the risks associated with these drastic methods cannot be ignored.
According to experts at iFood.it, losing weight too quickly can result in a number of health problems. One of the most common issues is the loss of muscle mass, which not only negatively affects physical appearance but also slows down metabolism, making it harder to maintain weight loss in the long term. In addition, extreme diets can lead to nutritional deficiencies, affecting bone health, immune function, and overall well-being.
The yo-yo effect, a cycle of weight loss and regain, is another risk associated with rapid weight loss. This phenomenon not only makes it harder to lose weight in the future but can also increase the risk of developing chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease. Severe food restrictions can also lead to eating disorders and disordered eating behaviors, impacting both mental and physical health.
The key to healthy and effective weight loss, according to the experts, lies in a balanced approach that promotes sustainable lifestyle changes.
Why Does Lactose Intolerance Increase with Age? The Science Behind it and How Your Genes Play a Role
If you’ve ever experienced discomfort after consuming dairy products, you may be lactose intolerant, even if you’ve never had issues before.
Lactose, the natural sugar found in dairy products, requires the digestive enzyme lactase to break it down into simpler sugars. These sugars are then absorbed by the small intestine and enter the bloodstream as nutrients.
When lactose isn’t properly digested, it moves to the colon where it undergoes fermentation. This can lead to unpleasant symptoms such as abdominal pain or cramping, excess gas, diarrhea, and a sudden urge for bowel movements.
Why does lactose intolerance increase with age?
The ability to digest milk is essential for infants but changes as we transition into solid foods.
In explaining this process further, Linna Goelz from Sonoran University of Health Science highlights that humans produce significant amounts of lactase during infancy for digesting breastmilk. However, once solid foods are introduced and breastfeeding is no longer necessary,
“humans no longer consumed lactose-containing food.”

Top 5 drugs that commonly cause hyperglycemia and diabetes
3. Thiazide diuretics
Thiazide diuretics are commonly used in the treatment of hypertension and may be associated with metabolic complications including hypokalemia; increased cholesterol, increased triglycerides and other blood lipids; as well as increased glucose.
It is thought that hypokalemia leads to decreased insulin secretion and decreased insulin sensitivity (depending on the dose), contributing to the development of new diabetes. Studies show that treating 29 patients with chlorthalidone for 1 year will cause 1 patient to develop diabetes.
4. Statin drugs
Statin therapy (or using Atorvastatin, Rosuvastatin…) is associated with reduced insulin sensitivity and impaired insulin secretion. Meta-analyses show that the incidence of diabetes in patients treated with statins can be as high as 9%. For every 255 patients treated with statins for 4 years, 1 person may develop new diabetes.
However, this risk is quite low compared to the cardiovascular benefits of Statins, specifically, for every 39 patients with pre-existing cardiovascular disease treated with Statins for 5 years, 1 myocardial infarction will be prevented. .
