Did you know that your brain needs eighty five percent of your
nutrition? Guess what? The average diet only gives the brain fifteen
percent nutrition. So what can you do to change this condition?
First off start with the food you eat daily. Food consumed today is
pretty much recreational; there is very little nutritional value. One
of the reasons natural supplements are needed today is based on the
fact that our food no longer contains nutrients. Also due to time and
convenience people eat on the run.
What we perhaps have forgotten in the search for health is getting back
to pure whole food. That means food grown in rich soil and not
processed in any form. Over 100 years ago people ate whole unprocessed
foods. The soil was live providing foods rich in vitamins and essential
minerals. The Creator designed food to maintain and run our bodies
effectively. A good example of how maintenance should occur is by using
your automobile as an example. To effectively run your automobile you
would give it the correct fuel to ensure its performance. You would
make sure that it had the correct gas and oil. You would not put in
sugar or anything else that would clog the engine and cause it to
eventually break down. Yet, every day we start our bodies’ engine
without proper fuel and expect it to function to its highest
capabilities.
There is no doubt that American food technology is largely responsible
for a mass diet insufficient in optimum whole food. Due to economics
and distribution the food industry has processed the natural nutrients
out of foods. Even food grown in soil is chemically treated. Since the
19th century the technology of canning and milling foods has led to
processed foods making up the greater portion of the American diet.
In 1940 processed foods represented only 10% of the American diet. By
1970 it consisted of 50% of the American diet. By the year 2009
processed foods represent over 85% of the American diet. Due to reasons
of budget and convenience Americans choose processed chemically altered
foods. Unfortunately this results in dietary shortages and disease,
leading to very expensive medical and hospital bills. Third world
countries have less heart disease and cancer then the United States due
to less consumption of processed chemically altered foods, they consume
more whole foods.
When our food is hydrogenated, homogenized, refined, microwaved,
preserved, emulsified, pasteurized, chemicalized, colored, bleached and
sterilized what real nutrition do you expect to receive from these
foods?
Optimal Brain Nutrition
When I practiced as a doctor of Naturopathic medicine I found that
supplements feeding the brain could reverse many neurological problems.
25 years ago my father had Parkinson’s disease and was taking many
medications. Through careful research I put together a formulation and
asked him to take the supplements. I never had to ask him to take the
supplements again, he would tell me, “You know I’m getting mighty low
on those vitamins you gave me.” My father being of an older generation
and from the south this was quite a statement; it proved to me that he
felt a difference on the supplements. I saw that he was able to keep
strength and mobility quite well while he was on this program.
Unfortunately my mother passed away and he married another woman who
convinced him that he did not need to take any supplements. His health
went down so quickly it was amazing and he died within three years
after marrying her.
I am not stating that the supplements cured the Parkinson’s disease,
but they gave him mental clarity and energy that his body desperately
needed. The proof was how quickly he deteriorated once he stopped using
supplementation.
The supplements that feed the brain most effectively are, in order, as follows:
Spirulina. This tiny aquatic plant has been eaten by humans since
prehistoric times and is grown worldwide as a healthy food. Imagine a
vegetable with more protein than soy, more Vitamin A than carrots, more
iron than beef, profound source of protective phytochemicals, naturally
low in fat, source of the essential fatty acid GLA and is easy to
digest. This food goes directly to the brain. It is an absolute must
for people with Attention Deficit Disorders, Parkinson’s disease,
Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis Alzheimer’s disease, Autism, and any
brain disorders.
Lecithin is an important phospholipid needed by all living cells. One
of many benefits of lecithin is its ability to aid in memory function
and learning. Many studies have been conducted where people reported
higher retention in learning and ability to recall information with an
increase of lecithin. Even patients with Alzheimer’s disease reported
an improvement in memory and orientation. Lecithin is essential for
people with Attention Deficit Disorders, Parkinson’s disease,
Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis Alzheimer’s disease, Autism, and any
brain disorders.
Niacin, or vitamin B3, combines with other B vitamins to release energy
in the cells, and to regulate circulation, hormones, glucose, and
hydrochloric acid in the body. Niacin also works closely with
riboflavin (vitamin B2) and pyridoxine (vitamin B6) to promote healthy
skin, and keep the nervous and digestive systems running smoothly. This
is an important supplement for neurological problems. When combined
with a Multivitamin you will not experience a flush.
Multivitamins. Consistent use of multivitamins and other key
supplements can promote good health and help prevent disease, according
to a comprehensive new report released by the Council for Responsible
Nutrition (CRN). The report found that ongoing use of multivitamins
(preferably with minerals) and other single-nutrient supplements (like
calcium or folic acid) demonstrated quantifiable positive impact in
areas ranging from strengthening the immune system of highly-vulnerable
elderly patients, to drastically reducing the risk of neural tube birth
defects such as spina bifida.
The brain will readily absorb these nutrients and a person will see a
change in how they feel mentally and physically quickly with daily
usage of these powerful supplements. Most people experience a change
within two weeks of usage.
Natural Supplements have been found to reverse many conditions that
were unable to be treated by any other modality; this has been
documented by many different health organizations. The quality of the
supplement has to do with the effectiveness of treatment. Natural
supplements with careful quality control procedures can mean the
difference between success and failure.
When it comes to eating-protein food is readily absorbed by the brain.
Fish and eggs feed the brain more effectively than most other protein
foods. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables for the valuable minerals and
vitamins to energize the brain. Minimize carbohydrates such as bread,
pastry and pizza.
Start feeding your brain today and have a happier healthy life! Visit website for more info:
