Women entrepreneurs often prioritize physical health
– maintaining a fit body and a balanced diet. However, when it comes to biologically aging backwards, it's crucial to extend our focus beyond the physical aspects and consider the well-being of our mental state and brain health. In this integrative health blog post, we'll explore the multifaceted approach to brain health, unveiling the importance of nutrients, healthy blood flow, antioxidants, and toxin removal for optimal cognitive function. (Note: if you prefer podcasts over blogs, click here to tune in.)
Understanding the Complexity of Brain Health:
The brain, as intricate as it is, requires proper nourishment to function at its best. Western diets high in refined sugar, unhealthy carbohydrates, and trans fats can impede the flow of essential nutrients to the brain, exacerbating age-related cognitive decline. To age gracefully, we must adopt a holistic approach to brain health that encompasses targeted supplementation.
Targeted Supplementation for Brain Health:
1. Acetyl-L-Carnitine:
Acetyl-L-Carnitine is a naturally occurring compound that diminishes with age. Supplementation with a bioavailable form easily crosses the blood-brain barrier, increasing brain carnitine and acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is a crucial neurotransmitter vital to learning, memory, and cognition, supporting neuronal plasticity.
2. Citicoline:
An intermediate chemical in neurotransmitter production, Citicoline plays a key role in increasing neurotransmitters like dopamine, phosphatidylcholine, and norepinephrine. This may contribute to improved memory and overall cognitive function.
3. CholineAid:
A highly bioavailable form of alpha-glyceryl phosphoryl choline, CholineAid improves the production of acetylcholine in the brain. This, in turn, supports memory and helps counteract normal age-related cognitive decline.
4. Coffee Fruit Extract:
Derived from the coffee plant's fruit, this extract has been clinically shown to increase levels of a key neuroprotein (BDNF) crucial for learning, memory, and higher thinking. It offers unique benefits beyond the coffee bean, enhancing cognitive function.
5. Phosphatidylserine:
Extracted from sunflower seeds, phosphatidylserine protects brain cells, aids in intercellular signaling, acts as an antioxidant, and reduces stress. Clinical studies have demonstrated improved short-term memory, mood, and concentration in individuals taking phosphatidylserine.
6. Gingko Biloba:
An ancient tree extract used in Ayurvedic and eastern medicine for centuries, Gingko Biloba supports circulation and memory. Its antioxidant properties contribute to brain health by increasing blood flow and promoting overall cognitive well-being.
