Most people would agree staying socially involved in several activities help slow the loss of memory and decline of brain function in seniors. But do our cooking tools, environment and sugary sweets ruin our brain health?

According to one Harvard1 study, elderly people who had little or no social activities were at a higher risk of losing their mental sharpness. That only makes sense, if you don't use it, you lose it, right?

The New York Times Says Memory Training Is Shown To Turn Up Brain Power!

“Until now, it had been widely assumed that the kind of mental
ability that allows us to solve new problems without having any relevant previous  experience  . . . Is innate and cannot be taught. But, in a new study, researchers describe a method for improving this skill, along with experiments to prove it works . . .”

“. . . The longer they trained, the higher their scores were. All
performers, from the weakest to the strongest, showed significant
improvement.”

CBS News, Wired Magazine, London Times and the National Science Foundation agree intelligence is fluid and can improve independent of any previous knowledge or skills.

Ever notice how often Universities spend money proving things we already know? Wouldn't you be interested in cutting edge, breakthrough discoveries that give new information that help us, not insult us by wasting more time and money? So, what is causing this rampant decline of brain function?

Is America Slowly Being Chemically Dumbed-Down?

There are many things that cause loss of memory. For instance, for decades we've all heard how toxic aluminum2 from pots and pans, eating utensils and soda
pop cans has been poisoning the human brain. So, why doesn't anyone outlaw the stuff?

Same goes for the harmful fluoride being put in drinking water supplies. There are plenty of studies showing toxic fluoride3 changes brain function and doesn't even prevent dental cavities, but that's not outlawed either. Apparently, someones profiting from chemically dumbing down people.

Everything else is about money; why not this?

We Are A Product Of Our Environment

There's no doubt our health has suffered as much as our environment has. Due to over use of artificial fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides, farming is nothing like it used to be and neither is the nutritional content in our foods. Obviously, proper nutrition is good for brain health just as much as a poor diet is bad for your health. Yet, we still need to remind ourselves, especially when our health is at risk.

Scientists have identified “edible brain boosters” like:

  • Vitamin C
  • Green tea
  • Omega 3s
  • Ginseng
  • Pomegranate
  • Herbs like St. John's wort and Ginkgo biloba

Sweet Deception, Bitter Truth

We know one common factor for keeping healthy brain function and memory is oxygen and that means good circulation and a healthy heart is important. Perhaps that's why several studies are now pointing at diabetes4 as a factor in poor brain function.

Diabetes is associated with heart disease, poor circulation and nerve damage. In fact, an ongoing Dutch study found people with diabetes had a 2.6 times greater loss of overall brain function than non-diabetics.

That study was done with middle aged people with type 2 diabetes. In a nut shell, Type 2 diabetes is easily reversed by simply eating more raw vegetables and fruit instead of refined sugars and processed foods. In other words, a “smart diet” promotes brain health.

I just thought I'd remind you, so don't forget.

Yours for excellent health,

P.S. Your brain cells need a constant supply of glucose sugar for fuel. The problem is too much blood sugar at one time, can starve your brain of glucose crippling brain functions like memory.
