Your brain is made mostly of fats. Therefore, if you are called a “fat head,” take it as a compliment! Two-thirds of the fats in your brain are DHA – a kind of Omega-3 fat found in fish, flax seeds, perilla seeds, walnuts and other sources. Brain health begins by including these fats in your daily diet. Once these fats form solid structures within your brain, Vitamin B-12 preserves the structure and helps protect against brain erosion.  

Sugars: 

Sugars, such as D-Ribose and those found in Cordyceps and Reishi mushrooms, serve as fuel for brain function.

Proteins:

Proteins, such as l-Phenylalanine and tyrosine (both found in Energy Now!) serve to balance brain chemistry and allow you to think clearly. 

Antioxidants:

Oxidation is like rust, and oxidative stress erodes the brain like rust erodes iron. However, brain-specific antioxidants help protect your brain from premature, oxidative death, and are found in plants. Examples of brain-specific antioxidants include Vinpocetine (found in periwinkle) and flavone glycosides (found in Ginkgo). 

What to do? 

If you are beginning to experience loss of fine motor control then you need to take immediate action to protect your brain!

Establish a foundation with Omega-3 (such as in OmegaPrime) and remember, when it comes to Omega-3, more is better. I suggest two capsules per meal for maximum nutrition.
Use Vitamin B-12 to help protect against brain erosion and take Energy Now! to fuel brain activity. 

Most importantly, focus on brain-specific antioxidants such as those found in Optima4 and Adaptogen 10 Plus. Optima4 was designed to enhance fine motor control and Adaptogen 10 Plus contains ingredients to help you build a strong shield against the damaging effects of stress. 

Don’t lose another brain cell to rust! Protect your brain with intense nutrition and brain-specific antioxidants.
