Many People’s Greatest Fear is Not Death,
But Losing Their Mind

Many of us fear losing our memory
and our mental function. old-people-computers
Tragically, a large number of us will
experience this personally or through
a close relative or partner.
The incidence of dementia in the
elderly is increasing rapidly due to
a combination of increased stress,
increased oxidative exposure and
nutrient insufficiencies.

Brain Health Throughout Life

The health of the brain determines much of our experience of life,
influencing our moods, our intelligence and our overall quality of
life. Maintaining brain health throughout life should therefore be a
top priority for all of us. You need to consider the constant changing
requirements of your brain in order to achieve a lifetime of healthy
mental function. In order to address all the challenges and changes
your brain experiences throughout life, it is important to incorporate
good dietary choices, key Natural Medicines and both physical and
mental exercise. This will help to promote a healthy brain and mind.


Six Keys to a Healthy Brain

1. Exercise and challenge your brain

2. Nourish your brain through good nutrition

3. Enjoy physical activity

4. Stress management

5. Sleep well

6. Take natural supplements


1. Strain The Brain to Train The Brain

The more you think, the smarter you become. Your brain is just like
your body, the more you exercise it the more powerful it becomes.
You can train your brain by choosing appealing and challenging
leisure activities (e.g. crosswords, puzzles, learning a new
language, etc.) and by challenging yourself at work.


2. Eat Your Way to a Better Brain

Take a healthy approach to your diet and lifestyle by eating the
following each day:

. Protein rich foods

. A minimum of 3 cups of fresh vegetables

. Two pieces of fresh fruit

. A handful of nuts and seeds

. Two tablespoons of good oils

. Drinking at least 8 glasses of water

. Enjoy regular exercise and fun


By following a healthy diet and lifestyle program you can provide
key nutrients for healthy brain function.


3. Exercise Builds Better Brain Health

Sustained participation in physical exercise well into old age has
been shown to:

. Enhance learning and memory

. Reduce age and disease related mental decline

. Protect against age-related degeneration of crucial areas of
the brain associated with higher cognitive function

Not only does exercise help to reduce the risk factors for cognitive
decline, such as cardiovascular risk, inflammation and energy
metabolism, it also helps to enhance learning and memory.


4.When Life Becomes Stressful, What Do You Do?

Do you relax, meditate and strive towards a healthy balance
between work and leisure? Or do you keep pushing yourself
and not give your body and brain a break? Many people put
work and stress before their own health and wellbeing.
Ensuring that you take time out to relax is extremely
important for brain health, because excessive stress can
impair memory and brain function.


5. Are You Counting Sheep in Order to Sleep?

The most common reason people have difficulty getting to sleep is
that they are unable to shut off the anxieties and worries of the
day and are preparing for tomorrow’s problems. Sleep is important
for repair of both body and mind. If you are having trouble
sleeping, talk to us today about what natural options we can offer
you for better sleep.


6. Nutrients to Nourish The Brain

A multivitamin and mineral supplement is the best way to provide
vital nutrients for brain function. Vitamins and minerals improve
energy, support metabolism and nervous system function and
promote better brain function.


Omega 3 essential fatty acids from fish oil are also extremely
important for your brain. Studies have shown that DHA, one of the
major components of fish oil, improves cognitive function.
This component has also been shown to be very effective for
protection against age-related mental decline.


Finally, brain tissue is extremely vulnerable to damage by free
radicals. Replenishing the brain with antioxidants is therefore
a great idea to help reduce the damaging effects of oxidative
stress and aid in the prevention of age-associated memory
impairment. Great antioxidants to help support healthy brain
function include resveratrol, vitamin C and vitamin E.


The health of our brain is so important for quality of life,
therefore, keeping our brains healthy is something we should
all be focused on. With the six simple steps outlined here,
you too can have optimal brain health for life!


Come in today and let us help you to support your
brain health so that you can maintain positive
moods, healthy cognition and quality of life
well into old age.
