Brain health – a function of nutrition

February 10th, 2011 | Posted by admin in Uncategorized

Our brains function through a complex system of brain cells called Glial cells and their interaction with neuron cells.  While Glial cells can be regenerated, neurons cannot.  Therein lies the challenge for proper brain function.  As the brain ages, neuron cells tend to die off resulting in degeneration and loss of brain function.  Debilitating diseases such as Alzheimer”s, Parkinson”s , Huntington’s disease and senile dementia are often the result of this degeneration.  Fortunately, recent studies have identified certain nutrients that can be supplemented in the diet to reduce the ravaging effects of  these age-related diseases.  These include, glutathione, vitamin C, Alpha Lipoic acid, curcumin, and reseveratrol.  Administered in the proper doses, several of these nutrients have been shown to reduce the symptoms of these diseases by up to 40%.

Nutrient intervention at the early onset of brain diseases could be the key to greatly prolonging brain function on those predisposed to these illnesses.
