Forks Over Knives covered Mara Mather’s research on breathing exercises to reduce Alzheimer’s risk factors. “We know the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems influence the production and clearance of Alzheimer’s-related peptides and proteins,” Mather said. “Nevertheless, there’s been very little research on how these physiological changes in aging might be contributing to the factors that make it conducive for someone to develop Alzheimer’s disease or not.”
