**Delaying age-related diseases: Can the mushroom-derived nutrient ergothioneine prevent dementia?** Distinguished Professor Barry Halliwell host: Kamil Pabis, PhD, co-organized by VIVA foundation As we sit in this room, we are all breathing oxygen (O2), a gas essential for life for efficient energy production from our food. Yet oxygen has a dark side; some of it makes reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as oxygen radicals, which can damage our body tissues, a factor that contributes to age-related diseases, especially dementia. ROS are not all bad, they help protect against infectious disease via the process of acute inflammation (keeping us alive) yet as we age inflammation isn’t controlled properly and the extra ROS cause more damage that contributes to age-related diseases. ROS levels in the body are controlled by antioxidants, many of which we make ourselves but others come from the diet. Most attention has been paid to vitamins C and E, polyphenols and carotenoids. Consuming diets rich in these compounds correlates with better health, but high doses of them as pure compounds in supplements have had little effect in delaying dementia and other age-related diseases in properly-controlled human clinical trials; supplements cannot replace the effects of a good diet. Interpreting correlational studies as causation is often done, but fraught with danger. In the past ten years we have studied a diet-derived antioxidant that has been almost totally ignored, namely ergothioneine (ET). It is found in many foods, but the major source is mushrooms. Our work has demonstrated that ET is likely very important in maintaining brain health and delaying or preventing dementia and other age-related disease, and pilot clinical trials support this. Evidence is growing that ET is a “longevity vitamin” to support healthy ageing, but rigorous clinical trials are needed to prove this. Its effectiveness may be due to its many additional mechanisms to protect our organs, in addition to acting as an antioxidant. FOOD AND CATERING This event is kindly supported by AVEA. https://avea-life.com/ Please come hungry to enjoy the healthy food!

Our trail begins in what feels like a hidden English village, tucked away in Singapore yet worlds apart from the city. This quiet neighbourhood whispers stories of the colonial era, with its iconic black-and-white houses, leafy lanes, and timeless calm. As we stroll through its streets—each one named after faraway English towns—you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped into a different place and era altogether. 🏡🌿🕰️ From this glimpse of the past, we’ll step forward into the future, where glass towers and bold architecture rise amid green spaces and winding paths. The contrast is striking—old-world charm giving way to a modern hub of innovation and creativity. 🚶‍♂️🏙️🌳 As evening falls, we’ll round off the adventure with an optional dinner at an urban food park alive with flavours and live music! 🎶 🪇🥂😄🍹 This is a free community walk, led by volunteers who enjoy the Great Outdoors (GO) and would like to share the GO with you too! 🤎✌️😃 Kindly RSVP responsibly to give others a chance to join.
