Optimizing Your Brain!

There are things you can do to enhance your brain, as well as reduce your risks of future neurodegenerative diseases, starting today! You can keep your mind young, healthy, and sharper whilst keeping memory impairment risks at bay.

How?

There are many tools, including a healthy diet and regular exercise which can help keep your brain to be in the best possible shape and improve your cognitive thinking skills. Research has shown that you can effectively slow down the brain’s ageing by simply eating specific healthy food. The brain-gut connection is now without doubt, and our typical western diet with unhealthy fats, sugars and salt are pro-inflammatory and associated with chronic illnesses such a depression, dementia, and many more health troubles. Further to that, some studies have shown that more than two cups of coffee per day can slow the blood flow to your brain by around 27%.....through vasoconstriction…...poor cerebral blood flow to the brain is also associated with neurodegenerative diseases

?We can change our brain at any age!

Brain injuries occur every day, and we don’t have to be knocked out to cause brain damage. Sugar causes brain shrinkage!?Yes, you read that correctly!?In fact, I met a lady at a recent business conference who had to have surgery to remove a brain tumour which was in a difficult position for the surgeons to access.?She told me that her surgeon gave her a high sugar solution to drink prior to surgery, to shrink her brain so they could gain better access to the tumour!!

Concussions, Strokes, lack of oxygen etc., puts us at higher risk of developing future neurodegenerative diseases.?Many cases of CTE (Chronic traumatic encephalopathy) found that symptoms were accelerated 15-20 years after their brain injuries in sport! It is the same with Alzheimer’s Disease because the disease starts years, sometimes decades before symptoms become obvious.

Other risk factors include our genes. Do you have the APO4 gene which places you at higher risk of Alzheimer’s Disease? The good news is your genes are turned on or off by the behaviours you engage in. These behaviours can include the things we eat, drink, and the activities we undertake.

KEY TIPS TO OPTIMIZE YOUR BRAIN:

·??????Hydrate – the brain consists of 80% water and just minor dehydration can have a significant impact on your cognitive function.

·??????Eat smart carbohydrates and rainbow foods – low glycemic foods that do not elevate blood sugar. Choose foods with a Glycemic Index of less than 60.

·??????Reduce or avoid sugar – it increases inflammation and shrinks your brain! High levels of sugar produce elevated levels of insulin which can create insulin resistance. This can lead to a decreased ability for the enzyme IDE to degrade Beta Amyloid Plaques which have been linked to Alzheimer’s Disease.

·??????Limit Caffeine

·??????Get a minimum of 7 hours sleep per night.?Our brain goes through a cleansing process while we are sleeping. This process is crucial to getting rid of those excess Beta Amyloid Plaques.?The sleep process also helps to consolidate our memories and learning.

·??????Do aerobic exercise at least twice per week.

Start smart and boost your brain reserves starting today!
