10 Easy and natural ways to help keep your brain in top shape
 
Keeping your brain sharp and preventing mental decline involves more than just the brain itself. Healthy practices in many areas of life will help you keep your brain, as well as your body, in top shape. (NaturalNews)  

Here are 10 easy and natural ways to help keep your brain in top shape now and prevent problems later: 

1. Lead an active lifestyle and exercise regularly. Regular exercise such as brisk walking, swimming, aerobics and yoga in mid-life helps forestall and prevent memory problems that often come with aging. In later years, regular exercise and physical activity can actually improve the brain function of people with mild cognitive impairment. There is no need to overdo it – mild to moderate exercise is all it takes. The key is to do it regularly.

2. Exercise and challenge your mind. An active brain stays sharp and continues to produce new connections between nerve cells. Studies have shown the benefits of regularly solving crosswords and other brain teasers. Other things to consider are reading, playing games such as chess, and learning a new hobby. Instead of watching mind numbing TV shows watch programs that provide new and thought provoking information such as shows about history and science.

3. Eat a healthy diet. A diet that is low in saturated fats, sugar, bleached white flour and junk foods and which has an abundance of colorful fruits and veggies will keep your brain sharp as well as keeping your body trim and protecting you against diseases such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease.

4. Avoid and manage stress. We have all heard that stress is the silent killer and it is true. Stress also damages your brain by releasing damaging hormones. Some of the best ways to manage stress include simplifying your life, avoiding stressful situations, stopping to smell the roses from time to time, and using techniques such as yoga or meditation.
 
5. Get adequate sleep. According to the National Sleep Foundation, adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night. Restful sleep enables the body and brain to heal and recharge so that you are healthier and are able to think more clearly. Sleep also helps you have a better long-term memory.

6. Be sure to include plenty of antioxidants in your diet. Numerous studies have shown that a diet rich in antioxidanery hights helps prevent and slow age-related declines in memory and learning. Among the very best sources of antioxidants are blueberries, dark grapes and pomegranates. OliViva, Immune360, Microhydrin, PhytoPower, and Spirulina are high in antioxidants.

7. Incorporate plenty of essential omega-3 fatty acids in your diet. Omega-3s help protect the brain against age-related decline and maintain proper brain function throughout life. Some of the best omega-3 sources include fatty cold water fish such as tuna, sardines, mackerel, and herring. IQ, Spirulina, Bright Bar are high in Omega 3’s.

8. Have an active social life. Talking and interacting with others keeps your brain active and sharpens thinking. According to a leading psychologist, spending only 10 minutes talking to another person can be as effective as mental exercises such as working crossword puzzles.

9. Don`t smoke. According to the Mayo Clinic, smokers have twice the risk of developing Alzheimer`s. If you do smoke, stop! Even people who have smoked for years can reduce their risk of memory problems by quitting.  Drink in moderation. While low to moderate amounts of alcohol, especially red wine, have been shown to protect against heart disease and cancer, heavy drinking (more than 14 drinks each week) actually shrinks brains.
 
10. Take NeuroBright twice a day, studies have shown that it may improve your ability to think, learn and remember by as much as 50%.

Research just published in the journal Behavioral Neuroscience provides evidence that adequate omega-3 fatty acids are needed for healthy nervous systems. That could explain why low levels of omega-3s are associated with the information processing difficulties experienced by people with bipolar, obsessive-compulsive, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorders; schizophrenia; Huntington’s disease and other illnesses affecting the nervous system. What’s more, this research suggests that increasing dietary omega-3s may be a natural way to prevent and treat those conditions. (NaturalNews)

Scientists at the Laboratory of Membrane Biochemistry and Biophysics at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism studied two forms of omega-3 essential fatty acids found in certain foods including fatty fish and some algae: docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). The human body can only acquire these key nutrients by metabolizing their precursor, linolenic acid (LNA), or from foods or dietary supplements with DHA and EPA in a readily usable form.

DHA is crucial to the body. In fact, it makes up more than 90 percent of the omega-3s in the brain, retina and the nervous system.

Acidic Body

If you are suffering from disease or weight problems, the problem may be an overly acidic body. According to the philosophy called New Biology, all disease is caused by an acidic body. If you alkalize your body through proper eating and healthy living, you can overcome disease and reach your ideal body weight (Natural News)

One of the most obvious signs of acidity is excess body fat. When your body is acidic, it will do anything it can to neutralize the acid. One of the ways it does this is to store excess acid in fat which can lead to you being overweight. When you alkalize your diet and lifestyle, your body will get rid of the excess fat.

An acidic body can also be too skinny because it allows yeast and fungus to thrive. The yeast and fungus consume the nutrients that you need which can leave you underweight, lethargic, and sick.

High cholesterol is another potential side effect of acidic blood. Your body cannot let acid damage your arteries so it coats them with cholesterol. While this helps protect you in the short term, in the long run this can lead to complete blockage. Fortunately, if you alkalize your body, it will get rid of the cholesterol it no longer needs.

To alkalize an acidic body, you need to eat more alkalizing foods and less acidic foods. Once you know which kinds of foods are alkalizing and which are acidic, you can create a healthy diet that will help you reach your ideal weight without starving yourself.

The first part of alkalizing your body is to eat more alkalizing foods. Most vegetables have an alkalizing effect on your body and green vegetables tend to be the best. Sprouts are also very alkaline and so is wheat grass. You can even take health supplements made from vegetables and healthy grasses. If you focus on making sure you have alkalizing foods with every meal, you will be on your way to an alkaline body.

The second part of alkalizing your body is to reduce the amount of acidic foods you eat. Sugary and processed foods are usually acidic. Saturated fats, meats, and dairy products also have an acidic effect on the body. If you are going to eat these types of foods, do it in moderation and make sure you have an alkalizing food with it.

When you start making changes to alkalize your body, it will release stored toxins. You may feel sick because the toxins are being released back into your system, but this will pass once you eliminate them from your system. Make sure you drink lots of water so your body can flush them out of your system.

Digestive Enzymes

Many people experience gas and bloating after eating. Gas can accumulate in the stomach or the intestines, causing pain, rumbling and indigestion. Gas is a product of incomplete digestion and an indication that food is fermenting in the gut, instead of being digested properly and assimilated into the body as nutrients. Digestive enzymes and a change in the digestive pH, by taking Digestive Formula you can improve digestion and relieve painful gas and bloating.

As people age, their levels of digestive enzymes decrease, so many find they need to add digestive supplements to meals. Digestive enzymes come in many forms. Certain foods do contain natural digestive aids, such as pineapple and papaya. It is easy to add 2 capsules of Digestive Formula to every meal to aid digestion.

What You Can Learn From FedEx

Back in the ’70’s when FedEx began, people didn’t believe a delivery system like FedEx’s could be done — or could work! But Fred Smith had a vision and worked to fulfill it.

Please note that the contents of the packages he delivered didn’t change at all. Only the delivery method. And Fred Smith changed the package delivery landscape of America and the world through FedEx.

If you can improve the bioavailability for enhancing your health, even by a small margin, you could stand to see big results in your health and wellbeing. 

The only way you can prevent illness is to make health a priority. Let’s change our delivery system on how we handle our wellness and make health a priority before we are dealing with illness.

Two Simple Ways to Improve Your Health

Two of the best and yet simple ways to improve your overall health with supplements include:

  • Increasing your intake of antioxidants …
  • Increasing your intake of omega-3 oils …

Antioxidants are your body’s #1 way to neutralize free radicals, those harmful metabolic byproducts that damage cells and tissues throughout your body.

Scientific evidence has repeatedly demonstrated that antioxidants are a cornerstone in the promotion of heart health, immune system support, and memory support.

Antioxidants also appear to play a role in helping to slow your signs of aging.

Although many foods contain antioxidants, today’s poor-quality diets are nearly always insufficient in the full range of these beneficial free radical scavengers.

Omega 3 Fatty Acids has been shown in numerous previous studies to have anti-inflammatory and cardiovascular protective effects Research just published in the journal Behavioral Neuroscience provides evidence that adequate omega-3 fatty acids are needed for healthy nervous systems as well.
