Help – My Brain is Shrinking!

Did you know your brain shrinks with age? Comprehension, memory and reasoning actually begin to decline at the age of 45 – considerably earlier than previous studies thought. Brain shrinkage increases even more when associated with smoking, high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes and obesity, according to a recent study at the University of California-Davis.

I discovered a virtual Fountain of Youth recently in my research – a key to reversing the effects of aging on our brains and slowing brain shrinkage. It’s called BDNF, Brain-derived Neurotrophic Factor.

BDNF is a versatile protein that has been linked to brain cell survival and rejuvenation. Ground-breaking research from UC San Diego has shown the protein BDNF impacting memory circuits in the brain and preventing disease at the cellular level. BDNF enhancement also was shown to have beneficial effects on Parkinson’s Disease, high-blood pressure and disorders of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.

Inflammation: The Secret Killer

Inflammation: The Secret Killer – Whenever stress levels become high, whether from emotional stress, financial stress or overexertion from exercise, the body triggers a cascade of signals to the immune system which goes into overdrive to protect itself.

When this continues day in and day out, inflammation explodes and becomes like a forest fire in the blood and tissues, and many researchers believe chronic inflammation leads to many of the most feared illnesses of middle and old age like heart disease, Alzheimer’s and cancer.
