There are some exciting new developments in the study of how to maintain healthy brain function, including lifestyle steps and natural ingredients.
While age is the biggest factor in the decline of memory and mental function, and there is a small genetic component as well, there are things we can do to do in the natural to support mental function, memory and a healthy mind:
1. Exercise at least 30 minutes, 5 days a week
2. Prevent or control conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol (the same risk factors as those for heart disease)
3. Interact with others and stay active socially
4. Play stimulating brain games (crossword, computer, etc.) and learn new things
In addition, there are natural ingredients such as huperzine and vinpocetine that are commonly associated with the mind and memory. Our Memory & Mental Support, which has long contained those herbal compounds, has recently been reformulated based on promising research on supporting healthy brain function. We have now added an exciting new natural compound, citicoline, which stimulates the transmission of chemicals in the brain, or the way cells in the brain talk to each other.
I hope you will take advantage of this information, especially if you or a loved one are starting to have difficulties in this area. Remember, do what you can do to prevent these problems, and God will do what you can’t do.
