Feeling Forgetful? Huh?

Feeling Forgetful?

Feeling forgetful? Now is "maintain your brain" time. It's never too late or too early to start thinking about protecting your memory and other important brain functions. Your brain has a remarkable ability to adapt and change to help maintain and repair important communication functions in the body. This "neuroplasticity" is greatly aided by eating a healthy diet and making other positive lifestyle changes—including quitting smoking and losing weight. Keeping your body in good working order—like controlling blood sugar levels and reducing chronic inflammation or stress—also helps keep the brain and entire nervous system functioning in a much healthier manner. Targeted nutritional supplementation may also help you stay sharp and clear-headed. Extensive research demonstrates the brain-supportive benefits of huperzine A (found in Chinese club moss) and a special proline-rich polypeptide (PRP) complex from colostrum. Huperzine A positively affects the neurotransmitter acetylcholine that is involved in important cognitive processes like memory. And in a clinical trial, 50% of those supplementing with the PRP complex showed stabilization in overall score for memory, language, orientation, and simple tasks. The other 50% showed significant improvement compared to placebo. This PRP complex may also help support other functions related to healthy brain aging, such as protecting the integrity of brain cells and fighting excess oxidative stress that can damage cells throughout the body.
