Antioxidants And Brain Health
Your brain is your greatest asset but it is also your body s most vulnerable organ. It requires constant support from other major organs and is your most susceptible organ to oxidative stress during aging. Here are some brain facts: 1. Your brain makes up only 2 of your total body weight but requires 20 of your heart s output of blood to sustain the amount of oxygen that it needs. Your brain is the most oxygen-demanding organ in your body. Your brain uses chemicals neurotransmitters to relay important messages to other parts of your body. These same chemicals are also involved in chemical reactions that produce damaging free radicals. If your brain cells become weak or die they cannot repair themselves. Their functions then can be permanently lost if cell death or damage occurs. Given these susceptibilities, your brain is...
Success Is Done One Step At A Time!
Some things you have to do every day. Eating seven apples on Saturday night instead of one a day just isn t going to get the job done.

Omega 3 Fish Oil And Alzheimer S Disease
Although no one knows what causes Alzheimer s disease, many research studies indicate that those who regularly eat fatty fish or who supplement with fish oil have a lower risk of developing Alzheimer s disease later in life. Why this is the case remains an interesting topic of investigation but it is believed to be due, at least in part, to the role Omega 3 fatty acids play in the general functioning of the brain itself. Omega 3 fatty acids are known to improve mental function, mood, memory and concentration and have already demonstrated considerable success in the treatment of conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, ADD and ADHD. Currently there is no cure for Alzheimer s, although research does indicate that Omega 3 fatty acids can slow down the ageing of the brain and possibly delay the...
