BUILD YOUR BRAIN! MIND YOUR MEMORY

BUILD YOUR BRAIN! MIND YOUR MEMORY
Your brain is the command center of your body. The most intricate organ in your central nervous system, it controls everything from your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to your movements and memories. Your brain processes sensory information, coordinates your motor actions, regulates your heart rate and breathing, and is responsible for higher cognitive functions like thinking, learning, memory, language, decision making, and problem solving.

Your brain is incredibly complex, with billions of neurons (nerve cells) and trillions of connections called synapses. It takes a lot of energy for your brain to do all the work it does – it uses about 20% of your entire body’s energy output in a resting state and up to 80% during high mental activity, and a whopping 25% of the oxygen that you inhale on an ongoing basis.

All functions in your body are affected by neurotransmitters that are made from specific nutrients that must be readily available in the brain. When the nutrients that make neurotransmitters aren’t available or aren’t in proper balance, your memory and brain function can be affected, so you can see that protecting and supporting your brain is incredibly important!

MEMORY
Memory could be considered the “tip of the iceberg” of our brain, since it’s what we experience dealing with every day, but while our brains can hold more information than is contained in all of the libraries of the world, memory recall doesn’t always work perfectly, especially when our systems are stressed, or our brains aren’t getting the nutrition and oxygen they need.

Each of us has forgetful moments now and again, especially when our lives get really busy.
You know, those moments when you forgot where you parked your car, or where you left your keys, or that your glasses are on top of your head, or what you went into the pantry for…? Arrgh!
Read on for how to build a better brain and memory, naturally!

BRAIN HEALTH DEFINED
To have a healthy brain, we need to look holistically at our brains to maintain cognitive clarity, emotional balance, and neurological resilience, focusing on building overall vitality and well-being through supporting the health of your brain for better mental, physical and emotional balance. Basically, keeping your brain happy and healthy.

Whether you’re a student studying for final exams, a working professional interested in doing all you can to stay mentally sharp, got knocked on the noggin, or you are coming into your golden years and looking to preserve and enhance your brain function as you age, you can build your brain’s health and help your memory and cognitive function by having a healthy lifestyle and with special brain supporting herbs.

We can achieve building and protecting our brain health through nourishing our mind and body with natural remedies, lifestyle choices, and holistic practices. This includes physical activity, getting your Z’s, managing your stress levels, eating healthy food for best nutrition according to your age, and herbal supplements.

BUILDING BETTER BRAIN HEALTH

Give your brain the love and attention it deserves! Your daily lifestyle choices are really important to keep your brain ticking along.

DIET
Your brain is a hungry little powerhouse. Your brain needs fuel to function at its best. It needs nutrients to keep neurons firing and synapses synapsing. What you put in your body influences your brain’s health.
• Fruits, veggies, whole grains, and healthy fats boost the brain. Regarding healthy fats, did you know that the brain tissues are made up of a high percentage of complex lipids?
• Antioxidants are important for protecting against free radical molecules that damage brain cells. Fruits, colorful veggies, and herbs are important sources of antioxidants.
• Reduce those junk food, sugars, and high fructose corn syrup, especially in soda pops. Smoking, too much alcohol, and other harmful substances are bad for the brain as well as for the rest of your body.

HYDRATION
Your brain needs H2O! Drinking water throughout the day helps keep the ‘brain fog’ away! (Unsweetened herbal tea counts as water. Soda pop doesn’t.)

MOVE & EXERCISE
Moving is a brain booster. Get off the couch, get up from your desk, and MOVE! Your brain needs you to move to get circulation, oxygen, and nutrients to keep its electrical activity charged up. Blood flow is oxygen and nutrient flow, which your hardworking brain cells need to function at their best. BONUS: Movement lifts mood and reduces stress and anxiousness.

SLEEP
Getting good sleep is really important for brain health. Your brain does a lot of its ‘housekeeping’ while you sleep – memory sorting, flushing toxins…

MENTAL STIMULATION
Challenge yourself to learn new things every day to keep those neurons firing.

STRESS
Stress stresses your brain as well as your emotions. Meditate, do deep breathing, do something you enjoy…

STAY SOCIAL
Social connection is great for your brain and actually boosts brain function. Make sure your social connections, both in person and with technology, build positive energy and are low stress-based.

POSITIVITY BUILDS POSITIVE BRAINS
Positive vibes support positive brain activity. Stay away from and clear negativity from your mind and environment.

DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS AND BRAIN HEALTH
Omega-3 fatty acids in fatty fish, Vitamin B’s, Vitamin D, magnesium, amino acids are all important for brain health. A healthy diet helps provide many of these.
