What is the most harmful for your brain - memory and all

Live healthy and long
Repost from truth about abs/Jose Barton Publishing by Mike Geary  |Undated

What is the worst food that you can take that is bad for your brain?

It is fructose  contained in health and fruit drinks.  Beware especially of the agave nectar syrup.  Do not be fooled by ads containing ads of athletes gulping, guzzling sports drink.  It can also lead to diabetes

Take fresh lemon drink instead.   Taking drink with HFCS leads to craving.  When you do take vegies and fruits.

Other foods that harm brain are:   transfat oil (contained in deep fried foods, french fries) mercury laden fruits, and wheat based foods

What are the foods that protect your brain?   l.  Turmeric (yellow ginger)   2 and omega 3 fatty acids contained in fish (especially wild salmon)  (we also got news that Virgin Coconut Oil is good for protecting the brain)

Exercise, stress management, food best vs loss of brain power

Dr. Mercola archives

It is not mental exercises as puzzles, or reading that will make you retain your mental powers but exercise.  This was the conventional knowledge

Our earlier post said exercise is medicine.

Exercise is important in brain cell regeneration,  key brain chemicals such as BNDF (important on cognitive tasks, memory,  and overall cognitive functions)

Coconut oil is again rated very good in maintaining overall brain health (our PHL VCO has been shown to be very good vs Alzheimer)

Substances to be avoided:    alum (in deodorants), aspartame (in Zero) and other sugar free foods, and amalgam in tooth fillings.

Protective proteins in your brain

The post pitches a protein binding calcium.  Calcium is the most important element in the body.   A delicate balance is needed for the amount of calcium in the brain.  Too much can be toxic for the brain.  Here comes Prevagen  which maintains the right balance of calcium in the brain.

                                         


Too much calcium can damage the brain and accelerate aging.   Other nutritional supplements do not have effect on the brain.  (Only this product has?)

Fwd: Boosts Your "Noggin" in 20 Minutes, Helps Stop Brain Shrinkage

What promotes brain health?  Is it  drug?  Is it food?

No it is an activiity. It is exercise like biking.

Exercise does the following:

l.  It promotes the production of BDNF brain derived neutropic factors, which induces stem cells of neurotransmitters to produce more neurons;   thus brain shrinkage is prevented.
 

                

2.  Exercise suppresses the bone production of BMP - bone morphogenic factor.  Apparently, slows production of new brain cells.

 

                              Picture of Noggin from Wikipedia

3.  Exercise also causes NOGGIN a brain protein that is antagonist of BMP  The more NOGGIN produced, the less BMP activity.

4.  Other benefits of exercise:

          l.  More blood flow to the brain leading to

          2.  More nutrients and O2 going to the brain and more waste products and CO2 being removed from the brain

          3.  Strengthening of blood vessels in the brain (less chances of stroke and CVA)

5.  Avoiding sugar.  High sugar diet makes for sluggish brain activity, especially if sugar is HFCS,  It is because sugar suppresses BNDF  (I just heard at DZRH this health news;  eating sugary food makes subject dumber

Types of exercises:

l.  Stretching

2.  Core exercises

3.  High intensity interval training

4.  Strength training

    I think cycling, gym exercises and jogging and their accompanying gym cross training fulfills this requirement.
