Rahul Sidhu - Weightlifting and Creatine on Brain Health

Rahul Sidhu narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher.Does lifting weights actually protect your brain, and is creatine the brain supplement the gym world thinks it is? Rahul goes through what the evidence really supports, from insulin sensitivity and inflammation to blood flow, which happens to be his own PhD specialism. He is even-handed about creatine too: promising in the lab, far shakier once you get to human trials. Worth a read before you order another tub.https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/blog-weightlifting-and-creatine-on-brain-health/--​Rahul Sidhu is a PhD student at The University of Sheffield, focusing on the effects of heart disease on dementia in preclinical models of Alzheimer's disease.
