A healthy brain = a healthy life

Do you have memory problems? Would you like to have a sharper memory?

 

To start, go over this check list:

  1. Get regular exercise that gets your heart rate up such as a brisk walk, jogging, cycling, swimming, work-out, etc. This is extremely important.
  2. Get enough quality sleep. Go to bed and wake up at about the same time each day. Avoid eating in the evenings. Also avoid getting stimulation in the evenings such as being on the computer or watching T.V.
  3. Eat little to no sugar! Sweets dull your memory and increase your appetite leading to lethargy (tiredness), irritability, difficulty concentrating and sleeping and likely damages your brain long-term.
  4. Eat balanced meals. See suggestions at this tab.
  5. Consume at least as many omega-3's as omega-6's (principally found in fish and some seeds such as flax).
  6. Avoid bad fats (virtually everything apart from authentic olive oil, coconut oil, fish, nuts and avocados.

How many of these are you completing on a weekly basis? If not all of them then you are asking for short-term and long-term brain problems.

 

Here is an informative article on how to avoid dementia that reveals what research is finding. Hints: get regular exercise, learn new things (be challenged!), enjoy a positive social life,  relationships and hobbies, get a stimulating job and activities, and find ways of improving your emotional/relational well-being.

 

Depression & Mood Swings

Did you know that what you eat greatly affects how your brain functions?


Refined sugar is a depressant that also requires the body to give up essential minerals in order to digest it. But this isn't the only food item that negatively impacts how we feel and function.


Junk foods (filled with empty calories, bad fats, altered salt and sugars) are one culprit that can sap your enthusiasm for life.


A lack of important vitamins, minerals, omega-3's, nutrients, iodine, and amino acids contribute to mental and physical illnesses.

Essential oils

Some plants improve our ability to remember, specifically peppermint (30%+) and rosemary 70%+!). If pure, the essential oils of these and other plants can be easily and quickly smelled and/or applied to one's body -specifically near the tops of our thumbs and big toes and added to capsules or foods/drinks (best if not too hot of a temperature so as to preseve the properties).

 

Young Living also produces a blend of oils called "Brain Power." See testimonials about this and other oils at this link. Go to the search button and type in "brain".

Redox signalling

Cognitive decline can also be the result of a loss of what are called "Redox Signalling Molecules." These are vital for all living things, including every cell in our body. They decline with age, stress, illness, drugs (of any kind), radiation and more. Many who have begun to use Asea, a product that boosts these molecules, have noticed improvements in every area of their lives, including brain function.

Residue of popular herbicide likely encourages illness

Glysophate
Glysophate

A chemical and food company wants us to believe that glysophate, a widely-used herbicide, is not only safe -it might be used to treat cancer!

 

How profitable, as it may also increase your risk for cancer.

 

Glysophate is considered to be toxic to animals, including humans. A study by two independent scientists, published in Entropy April 2013, connects the increasingly widespread use of glyphosate with modern diseases because of its "inhibition of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, an overlooked component of its toxicity to mammals. CYP enzymes play crucial roles in biology, one of which is to detoxify xenobiotics. Thus, glyphosate enhances the damaging effects of other food borne chemical residues and environmental toxins."

 

In other words, it slowly induces disease.

 

"Consequences are most of the diseases and conditions associated with a Western diet, which include gastrointestinal disorders, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, depression, autism, infertility, cancer and Alzheimer’s disease."

 

A copy of the whole report can be found under the link GMO's.

 

Conclusion: only eat organically grown food or foods known not to have been sprayed with Round-up Ready herbicide. Consider also helping your cells to repair from this damage by using Asea.

Ending the Junk Food Obsession

Eating healthy
Eating healthy

We all know that smoking tobacco is bad for our health. With both public pressure and far higher taxes, smoking is (thankfully) on the decline in Canada.

 

Now we are facing the crushing health effects of junk food and beverages. These are filled with bad fats, sugar, and salt -plus colorants in soft drinks. The results are alarming: rapidly rising rates of obsity, diabetes, heart conditions, cancer, and far more. Our health care system can't keep up. It turns out that a tobacco company is the largest junk food company! Even the most ardent libertarian (who dislikes government intervention in our lives) may have to concede that doing nothing about this epidemic is harming all of us.

 

Thus we may have to do the same thing with junk food and drinks as we did with tobacco: apply social pressure as well as add taxes. We know that banning didn't work with alcohol (and isn't working with street drugs). At least taxing these ills will raise money needed to pay for the freedom to eat and drink ourselves into oblivion. For more information read this Globe & Mail article.
