Eat better, think better - diet and the brain
BODY:
Psychologists and nutritionists at the University of Otago are studying how diet can have a positive impact on heart and brain health
EXTENDED BODY:
By Alison Ballance
“We’re looking into ways that people might be able to improve their brain functioning, focusing on lifestyle choices such as exercise and diet.”
Liana Machado, psychologist, University of Otago
Breads made with beetroot, hazelnuts or low salt are part of a study currently underway at the University of Otago to see if a better diet is good for our brain. The study involves 200 people, both young and old, who are randomly assigned to eat four to six slices of either a control bread or one of the three supplemented breads daily. Participants have their cognitive function tested before, during and after 12 weeks of eating the bread.
The researchers anticipate that the extra nutrients and the lower salt will benefit blood supply to the brain. The hazelnuts are a good source of unsaturated fats, while the beetroot is high in nitrates and is good for endothelial function.
Previous international research has shown health benefits from eating beetroot juice and nuts, and the novel aspect of this research is including them in a commonly eaten, economical food item. The study is also testing the palatability of the various breads.
“We’re trying to make an alteration in something that’s already a habit, rather than trying to form a new habit,” says psychologist Liana Machado.
“We don’t know yet if we’ll see improvements in cognitive function,” says Liana, “but reducing your salt intake should also lower your risk factor for having a stroke. So even if we don’t see better cognitive function there’ll be huge benefits from reducing salt intake.”
The current dietary intervention is a collaboration between Liana Machado in the Psychology Department, and Katherine Black from the Nutrition Department.
Previous research by Liana and her students has found a correlation between levels of exercise and the ability to perform well at a cognitive level. People who exercised more regularly had improved oxygenation of their blood, and better regulation of their blood flow. The surprising aspect of this work was that the benefit occurred in young people, as well as older people.
“It’s not just your grandparents that need to get out there and exercise. Young adults should be as well.”

Strategy, leadership and teamwork. This is the Holy Trinity of winning according to Alistair Campbell who helped Tony Blair win three terms as British Prime Minister as his press secretary. His position gave him access to winning business leaders, athletes, artists and politicians. His new book, Winners: And How They Succeed examines the qualities of everyone from Richard Branson and Sir Clive Woodward to Bill Gates and the Queen to identify what it takes to win.

EXTENDED BODY:
Jim Pinckney welcomes the long awaited return of Parisian producer St Germain.
Following up an album that sold over 4 million copies, and was played to within an inch of its life in cafes and hairdressers from here to Timbuktoo is never going to be easy, and for Ludovic Navarre who works as St Germain, it’s taken 15 years. While it’s not The Tourist 2, and Navarre has spoken at length about being determined not to trot out that formula, his self-titled third album it is no radical departure either. Recorded over the last six years, there may be a lot more West African flavour in there, with a number of Malian musicians heavily featured but the St Germain sound, and feel, remains at the core, unchanged. For a record that had such a long process, the results do predominantly sound remarkably fresh, and it holds its own amongst the seemingly endless stream of name artists who are delving deeper into African music, and collaborations.
Songs played: Sittin' Here, Family Tree, Real Blues, How Dare You, Hanky Panky, Mary L, Voila

Peace, Love & Music by Swindle

EXTENDED BODY:
Jim Pinckney translates the musical postcards from understated UK grime artist Swindle.
Inspired by touring around the world over the last two years, Peace, Love & Music is largely a travelogue, with songs recorded in a variety of locations from South Africa to the Phillipines. Avoiding the tokenism that can often accompany projects like this UK grime producer Cameron Palmer aka Swindle has tapped into local musicians, singers and producers at the studios he has worked at, and rapidly managed to assimilate sounds and styles into his own repertoire. With players at his disposal back in London who understand his almost animated and visual production style, and who have the ability to recreate and expand upon, what he might previously have sampled, Palmer’s musicianship and vision are very nearly in sync. While he may not yet be quite the finished article, Peace, Love and Music shows Swindle has enough remarkable tunes, and boisterous bounce, to make the lesser moments on his hyperactive journey well worth overlooking.
Songs played: Denver, London To LA, Shanghai, Sing Like You’re Winning, Malasimbo, Elevator, Global Dance, Find You

Fading Frontier by Deerhunter

EXTENDED BODY:
Jim Pinckney tunes into the latest transmission from the Atlanta art-rocker.
Back with a seventh album, Deerhunter have made their most direct and assured statement yet with Fading Frontier. After the scratchy majesty of Monomania, their last album which camouflaged its charms under layers of lo-fi effects and distortion, here they have chosen to let the songs breathe, rather than presenting obstacles to enjoyment. Produced by the band and Ben H. Allen III, who was last involved in what may be their greatest achievement to date, Halcyon Digest, it’s a bright, tough sounding record that does all the right things. With Cox’s habit for winding up media, and antagonising the wrong people at the wrong times, they’re not an outfit you’d want to bet on, however Fading Frontiers could be their best shot at any sort of mainstream success. Highly melodic, and packing a good deal more conviction and interest into their songs than most indie bands can dream of, the chances of Cox wanting to make such an unambiguous record again in a hurry are possibly remote.
