A healthy brain can be a happier brain
Certainly, a healthy brain will function better and stay younger for longer
A healthy heart keeps a health brain and helps prevent vascular dementia
Blood flow and heart health tie into this story nicely
Feeding your brain the right foods and nutrients goes a long way towards brain rebuilding
Healthy gut = Healthy Brain
Sharper right now? Use Nootropics, creatine and Co Q 10 plus alpha lipoic acid
Vitamin D helps the brain and pretty much everything else
This this article I'm going to show you how to:
- “Lower inflammation” → “Reduce the inflammation that slows your brain down”
- “Increase deep restful sleep” → “Sleep deeply so your brain can repair and reset”
- “Use brain enhancing herbs” → “Support focus and clarity with targeted nootropics”

The brain is made primarily from fat particularly omega 3 fats + phospholipids. A lack of omega 3 fats can severely compromised optimal brain health and longevity.
If you give anyone these nutrients, they pick up significantly. Especially when you combined the other element listed in this packed with useful information article.
If poorly nourished or stimulated the brain function can wane. Resulting on poorer mental capacity, learning, mood, movement and memory to name a few.
Healthy heart habits normally cross over into healthy brain habits as they keep blood flow high, blood pressure low and lower the furring up and likelihood of vascular dementia from occurring.
Exercise also improves mood state. Avoiding depression has major implications on helping the brain stay vibrant and young.
What can go wrong?
The brain can become depressed and malnourished through poor intake of the right kinds of fat and excessive intake of the wrong kinds of fat.
Inflammation and oxidative stress can increase brain degeneration, along with poor blood flow, lack of exercise and lack of positive stimulation.
Excessive stress and high cortisol decreases brain weight, decreases higher brain function leaving us able to cope with lower basic brain function.
Lack of sleep means debris are not cleaned from the brain and debris can result in low mood state, poor memory, higher cortisol and blood sugar, cravings and anxiety in the longer term poor sleep combined with increased inflammation can lead to neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
Deficiencies in any essential nutrients can adversely affect general health and brain function. Lower levels of b-vitamins, zinc, copper, selenium, omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin D, vitamin E, choline and iron are all essential.
Energy production can worsen with poor mitochondrial health and poor blood flow. All habits associated with mitochondrial biogenesis are going to be good for brain function as well as increasing general cellular energy production, e.g. co q 10.
Keep up your Zone 2 !
Mitochondria are the energy producing powerhouses in each cell in the body.
Mitochondrial biogenesis is the process of making new power houses in the cells. You get this by training, fasting and then eating good food. Certain supplements help massively as well.
