We Really Should Take Better Care of Our Brains

Magnificent Mind At Any Age… Dr Daniel Amen“ Success in all we do starts with a healthy brain.”Our work, our livelihood, our relationships, our families, our

creativity, motivation, integrity, social skills, choices we make, …everything we do … and think …. and are …. stems from…

THE BRAIN

“The brain is the most complicated organ.. With 100 Billion nerve cells and more connections than there are stars in the universe… The organ of loving, learning, behaving, intelligence, personality, character, belief and knowing.”. barb

There Are 2 Important Reasons To Take Better Care of Our Brains

• To perform well mentally in our productive years… as students and workers and parents and neighbors and involved citizens .. All requires good mental function and decision –making.

• To delay the onset of age-related cognitive decline so we can have good mental function all our lives … living independently and contributing to our communities and our families .. Rather than burdening them with the responsibility and expense of being our care-givers. barb

You Don’t Need To Be Old To Experience “Brain Fog”

“The Pace of Life Has Been Cranked To a Level Unimaginable 3 Decades Ago”

Jay Walljasper Less Is More

Modern life has become overloaded with instantaneous communications .. Emails, Twitter, FaceBook, cell phones, voice mail, …days crammed with activities .. Alarm clocks, quick showers, commuter traffic , hasty conversations and drive-thru restaurants… and jobs that are demanding and require quick thinking and important decisions-making.

Michael Jackson May 2014 …”We conduct more trade in one day today than in an entire year in 1950…More research in one day … than an entire year in 1960.More mail in one day … than an entire year in 1970.More phone calls in one day … than in a year in 1980More email .. More texting … barb

Why Do B Vitamins Slow Cognitive Decline?Elevated Homocysteine Levels Are Associated With Cognitive Decline

HomocysteineMethionine

Cysteine

Neurotransmitters,Brain function

Folic Acid, B12B6

It’s not known if the elevated homocysteine levels are responsible for the cognitive decline or whether homocysteine is a biomarker for… …defective neurotransmitter production…or… …folic acid, B12 and/or B6 deficiency

Folic acid, B12 & B6… …lower homocysteine levels…and… …slow brain shrinkage & cognitive decline… …in people who are B vitamin deficient steve

Who Might Be B Vitamin Deficient?Folic Acid

• 10% of population has MTHFR deficiency• people using birth control pills or drugs for hypertension or convulsions

Vitamin B12

• 40% of the population over 60 has B12 deficiency• age related loss of ability to absorb B12• use of acid-suppressing drugs (Prilosec, Nexium, Tagamet, Pepcid, Zantac)

Vitamin B6

• 25% of population has low blood levels of B6 steve• poor diet• use of birth control pills & drugs to control hypertension & asthma

Reports From the FieldSarah Choate – studying organ performance ( involves 2 hands and 2 feet..

Each doing different things .. Very complicated tasks).. Reported her music teacher commented on how much she had improved 2 weeks after using Mind Works .

Sue who has been suffering from various health issues and medicinal side effects says that she feels like the fog has lifted.

JoAnn who has awakened every night the last two years from cranial and eye pain has actually slept through the nights.

Linda who has experienced multiple traumas the last 2 and ½ years feels a lifting feeling and can now focus again.

Hannah who has experienced nerve pain for the last 2 months had relief in 2 days.

Bob is back to being able to do computer work and actually driving a tractor to move fallen logs from a storm.

Dolores has noticed a lifting of her mood and not forgetting nearly as much .Debbie is focusing better. hannah

Reports from the Field

• Improved focus My husband, Bob, has had health challenges for many years. Lately much worse. In comes Mindworks. Amazing.

• He has been having trouble focusing on computer work. Couldn't even do bills this past month. Falling so much trying to walk. Awful.

• Mindworks for a week. Working on computer, right now on tractor lifting logs from drive from a mini tornado.

• Up before dawn today, mowing our secret garden area! Shaklee has been a great help all along, but Mindworks is a miracle! His walking is something to see. He was walking on rubbery legs (his explanation) and as of this AM he is walking with long strides. – Jan Jean

Omega-3s May Also Slow Cognitive Decline

• The myelin sheath functions just like insulation on a wire

• Myelin is rich in omega-3 fatty acids (especially DHA)

• DHA & EPA are essential for the structure &

function of myelin

Clinical studies suggest that omega-3 fatty acids slow brain shrinkage and cognitive decline

Vivix

Resveratrol and Memory Study• 46 men & women ages 50-75• 26 weeks of receiving either resveratrol or placebo (It was with 200 mg

resveratrol, but no dose response was done).• Significant improvement in memory test involving word retention after

30 minutes• Neuroimaging showed significant increase in connectivity between left

posterior hippocampus and medial prefontal cortex (increase in brain connectivity)
