Mind Your Vitamins

To protect your brain-power a decade down the road, start taking your vitamins now. A recent Harvard study of nearly 15,000 women in their 70s found that those who had been taking vitamin C and E supplements for at least 10 years scored better on tests of memory, verbal fluency, and immediate and delayed recall, compared to women who did not take these supplements or took them for shorter periods of time. The study subjects generally took 100-500 mg of E and 400-1,250 mg of C daily. --AARP, Nov/Dec. 2003

Boost Your Brainpower

Start walking--even if you're over 60 and have never exercised a day in your life--and you can look forward to being quick-witted in your golden years.

Researchers divided 124 sedentary folk ages 60 to 75 into two groups: One group walked briskly 3 days a week (progressing from 15 to 45 minutes); the other group did stretching and toning exercises for 1 hour, 3 times weekly.

After 6 months, the walkers significantly improved their scores on computer tasks, while the calisthenics group had no improvement.

The part of the brain responsible for managing multiple tasks, ignoring distractions, and calling on memory tends to decline first, warns study author Arthus Kramer, PhD, professor of psychology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. But walking increases oxygen flow to the brain and appears to slow these declines. "Walking just 3 days a week translates into a 15% boost in mental functioning, which is substantial for such a small investment in time," notes Dr. Kramer. --adapted from Prevention, March 2000.

Veggies on the Brain

Perhaps they should change the saying to "A vegetarian never forgets." People who consumed just two or more servings of vegetables a day had a 35 to 40% slower rate of memory loss than those who ate one or none, according to a study published in the October 24, 2006 issue of Neurology.

Indeed, the veggie eaters had the recall ability of someone 5 years younger, and the results were even better for those who ate high quantities of green, leafy vegetables. Study participants were 65 years or older and were tested on abstract thinking ability, attention span and thinking speed.

It should be remembered that veggies are loaded with various antioxidants which have been found to fight neuron-damaging molecules in the brain, according to Martha Clare Morris, PhD, lead study author and associate professor at Rush University Medical Center. --adapted from Vegetarian Times, February 2007.

A YEAR to Remember

Sustaining an exercise routine for a full year can strenthen your body and mind, according to important research. The study has implications for reducing the risk of dementia.

A team of researchers from several U.S. universities have found that moderate physical exercise can increase the size of the brain's hippocampus in older adults. (The hippocampus is involved in all facets of memory formation). The scientists recruited over 100 sedentary adults with no signs of dementia and placed them in 2 groups of equal size. One group began walking for 40 minutes a day, 3 times a week. The second group limited its exercise to a stretching and toning routine. The walking group showed improved memory function, which was associated with an increase in the size of the hippocampus, a region of the brain that gnerally shrinks as we age.

Measurements of the left and right hippocampus showed increases of about 2% in the walking grop. The stretching group saw a small reduction in the size of the hippocampus. --Taste for Life, April 2011.

Physical Exercise Improves Memory in Both Children and Adults

by David Gutierrez, staff writer

(NaturalNews) It's not just good for your physical health: regular exercise and physical fitness can dramatically improve your cognitive health as well.

For example, a 2010 study published in the journal Brain Research found that physically fit 9- and 10-year-olds had significantly larger hippocampi (a region of the brain associated with memory and learning).

In keeping with this finding, the same children also scored higher on memory tests than their less-fit peers.

Likewise, in a 2008 research review published in the the Cochrane Library, researchers found that seniors who engaged in aerobic exercise between two and seven days per week scored significantly higher on tests of cognitive processing, visual and auditory attention, and even motor function than seniors who did not exercise comparably.

It is increasingly becoming clear that the human body is designed for physical activity. When we neglect to use our bodies, it's not just our hearts and lungs that suffer; our brain suffers too, and our cognitive abilities along with it.

Three superfoods that can support brain function and prevent cognitive decline

by Michael Ravensthorpe

(NaturalNews) People have long believed that cognitive decline is an inherent and inevitable symptom of aging. In reality, however, most age-related mental conditions -- from minor irritations like forgetfulness to serious neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia -- are the product of toxic environments, unhealthy lifestyles and poor nutrition. For this reason, there are many things that individuals of all ages can do to prevent age-related cognitive decline, including getting enough sleep and exercise, optimizing gut flora and eating foods that are rich in vitamin B12 and omega-3 fatty acids.

Another great way to guard ourselves from cognitive decline, however, is to supplement our diets with superfoods that are scientifically proven to support brain health. The three foods listed below fall into this category.

Coconut oil

Raw, organic coconut oil is proven to treat a large number of medical conditions, including obesity, bad skin and hair, heart disease and more. According to Dr. Mary Newport, however, coconut oil can also prevent cognitive decline due to the high number of ketone bodies present in its medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which function as an alternative fuel source for our brain. Since inadequate supplies of our main fuel supply, glucose, is the leading cause of Alzheimer's and dementia, regularly consuming foods rich in these alternative fuel sources can help us maintain our mental health -- and few foods contain more of them than unprocessed coconut oil.

Bacopa monnieri

The perennial herb, Bacopa monnieri, has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries to treat cognitive issues like poor memory and brain fog, and modern research is now catching up with this ancient knowledge. For example, one study presented at the International Brain Research Conference in 1996 proved that long-term consumption of Bacopa powder decreased the amount of time subjects needed to learn new tasks by a whopping 50 percent. A later study published in the Neuropsychopharmacology journal in 2002 showed that Bacopa had a "significant effect" on the subjects' ability to retain new information.

As with coconut oil, regularly consuming Bacopa monnieri can also guard us from more serious conditions. Brian M. Kairalla, a researcher at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, found that elderly volunteers who consumed 300 milligrams of Bacopa daily demonstrated significant improvements in verbal information processing compared to those who consumed the placebo. This result led Kairalla to conclude that Bacopa could help prevent Alzheimer's: "[L]ong term studies [into Bacopa] might be explored for its potential to play a role in protecting or delaying age related memory decline or delay Alzheimer's disease onset and/or progression."

Walnuts

According to the Doctrine of Signatures, an ancient herbalist philosophy attributed to the Swiss physician Paracelsus, many foods in the natural world physically resemble the organs they benefit. A classic example of this is the walnut: with its two hemispheres and cranium-like shell, the walnut really does look like a brain -- and, as it happens, few foods are better for your brain than walnuts.

One study published in the British Journal of Nutrition, for instance, found that subjects who ate just half a cup of walnuts daily over a two-month period demonstrated an 11 percent improvement in inferential reasoning compared to the control group. Another study published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease showed that regularly consuming walnuts can improve cognitive function and memory scores. What are the reasons for these results? Firstly, walnuts are rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-based omega-3 fatty acid that is known to shield brain cells from oxidative damage. Secondly, walnuts are also rich in vitamin E, an antioxidant that is well-known for preventing cognitive deterioration.
