It’s never too late to keep your brain healthy!
It's true ... As we age, the brain changes affecting our memory and other cognitive functions. That doesn’t mean that your brain can’t continue to perform its best, but you do need to give it the proper nutrition.
Omega 3 fatty acids contribute to optimal brain structure and function by increasing cerebral blood flow, affecting neurotransmission, influencing the formation of new brain cells, and protecting the brain from oxidative stress and inflammation.
Vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients help ensure these neuro processes happen naturally as we age – which means a healthy brain throughout our lives!
That said, certain medical conditions associated with aging can also influence cognitive function. These include cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and high cholesterol levels (which may all contribute to dementia).
Prevention is key!
Elevated homocysteine is a risk factor for dementia in older adults. Vitamin B12, Folate, and B6 can help lower homocysteine levels.
Flavonoids like quercetin are neuroprotective against neurotoxic chemicals, brain cell injury, and neurodegenerative diseases.
Like Omega 3 fatty acids, quercetin can also improve vascular blood flow and reduce inflammation adding to its power to support brain health and thus improve learning and memory.
So, make sure you take care of your overall and brain health by staying active, managing your stress, eating a healthy diet, and supplementing with the nutrition you may be struggling to get with diet alone.
