Here’s an easy way to improve gut health: Eat more cherries
( Natural News ) Adding more tart cherries to your diet is an effective way to improve gut health , according to a study published in The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry . In the study, researchers examined the effect of tart cherry concentrate on gut bacteria using both laboratory testing and clinical trials. Earlier research has shown that polyphenols have a prebiotic effect, and tart cherries have a unique composition of polyphenols, particularly chlorogenic acid. For the petri dish trial, the researchers used concentrated juices of Montmorency tart cherries , commercially available concentrates, and apricot cultivars — all of which did not contain dietary fibers. These were then submitted to bacterial fermentation tests. To evaluate how the fruits affected the gut microbiota, these samples went through DNA extraction and sequencing. The clinical trial, on the other hand, involved nine healthy participants who did not consume an antibiotic at least 12 weeks before it started. In the trial, the participants drank eight ounces of Montmorency tart cherry juice daily for five days. They also answered a food frequency questionnaire and underwent stool tests before and after the tart cherry treatment. The laboratory tests revealed that all tart and sweet cherry products improved gut health. The fermentation of sugars and carbohydrates served as the primary energy sources of good gut bacteria. Meanwhile, the results of the clinical trial demonstrated that the consumption of tart cherry juice improved gut health as shown by the increase of good gut bacteria. 100% organic essential oil sets now available for your home and personal care, including Rosemary, Oregano, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Clary Sage and more, all 100% organic and laboratory tested for safety.

The natural supplements you should be taking to boost mental performance
( Natural News ) Yes, it’s possible to boost your mental performance with the right supplements . What’s even better news is that these supplements are all-natural and have far-reaching benefits besides helping your brain function better. Cognitive enhancers are among the most popular types of drug today, especially among scientists, students, entrepreneurs, and other individuals whose activities are more focused on brainpower. Cognitive enhancers, referred to interchangeably – but often mistakenly – as nootropics, are substances formulated to enhance one or several aspects of cognitive function, such as memory, motivation, or creativity. Brain supplements are different in that they don’t provide an immediate boost to your thinking ability or memory. They do contain plenty of brain-friendly nutrients and by keeping the central nervous system healthy, they tend to offer the same benefits as cognitive enhancers, albeit in the long run. Needless to say, there are drugs and substances that have the traits of both cognitive enhancers and brain supplements. You could say they are the closest to the actual, technical definition of “nootropics,” that is, drugs that enhance brainpower but without any adverse effect. The term may also pertain to substances that protect the brain. As it turns out, such cognitive enhancement supplements exist in nature. Here are four examples: Ginkgo biloba There’s a good chance you’ve heard of this plant before. Ginkgo, as it is more popularly known, is often bought for its ability to improve memory, as well as its benefits for sufferers of depression, anxiety, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Do Memory Supplements Work? 10 Supplements to Boost Brain Power
What are memory supplements, you ask? You know that moment when you take that first sip of coffee, and the caffeine begins to pulse through your body and awaken a clearer mind, sparking you into more efficient state of productivity? Our ability to remember information and produce high quality work efficiently is heightened when we consume caffeine. Even non-coffee drinkers are well aware of the effects. In this article, we’ll look into what memory supplements are and how you can use such supplements to boost your brain power. Caffeine vs Memory Supplements So what role does caffeine have when we consider what memory supplements are? Well, coffee is actually considered a nootropic . If you haven’t heard this term before, basically, a nootropic is defined as a substance that produces a brain boosting effect, which can enhance cognitive abilities such as reaction times, focus and memory. In our busy lives that demand so much from us in our professional and personal responsibilities, the familiar feeling of brain fog many of us suffer from can really hinder our ability to move through all facets of life with ease and efficiency. For productivity seekers and life hack enthusiasts, nootropics are definitely a new wave of supplements that are becoming more sought after and widely used, because of their brain boosting benefits. This term was coined by Romanian psychologist Dr. Corneliu E. Giurgea in the 1960s, who came up with certain characteristics of what a pure nootropic is defined as: Cognitive function enhancement (focus, memory, learning) Improved reactions in thought and cognition when under stress Protects decline of brain cells Chemical protection against brain injury More efficient neural pathway communication Research driven proof Minimal or no side effects with low-to-no toxicity Although not every nootropic on the market will contain all of […]

How to Maximize Your Health On a Keto Diet – 8 Nutrients to Monitor
The ketogenic diet, or keto diet, has become one of the most popular diets in recent years for its ability to enhance fat loss, increase energy, improve athletic performance, and control appetite. But despite these benefits, research and decades of clinical experience have found the diet to increase the risk for multiple nutrient deficiencies. Read on to see what nutrients you should be watching to maximize your health on a ketogenic diet. The ketogenic diet is more popular than ever. The diet is extremely low in carbohydrates (usually less than 50 g/day), moderate in protein, and very high in fat. “Ketogenic” refers to the ability of the diet to generate high levels of compounds called ketones that are used as the main energy source instead of glucose . The term was first coined by Dr. Russ Wilder of the Mayo Clinic in 1921, who used the diet to successfully treat epileptic children. However, with the introduction of effective anticonvulsant drugs, the ketogenic, or keto, diet fell out of favor with doctors. It was and still is used to successfully treat epileptic patients who don’t respond to drugs or surgery [ R , R ]. The diet has seen a resurgence in popularity in recent decades. Reported benefits range from weight loss and improved blood sugar control to increased energy and mental clarity. Research has backed some of these claims: the keto diet is more effective for weight loss, reducing blood sugar levels, and improving cholesterol and triglycerides than high-protein, calorie-restricted, and even low-fat diets (one RCT of 25 participants, one randomized crossover trial of 17 participants, three RTs of 159 participants) [ R , R , R , R , R ]. Beyond weight loss, the diet’s therapeutic potential has also been studied in type 2 diabetes , heart […]
Experts dispel 5 myths and reveal benefits of low-carb, high-fat diets made famous by celebrities
( Natural News ) The keto diet has recently gained a lot of attention because many celebrities follow it, making it one of the more popular weight-loss diets today. The eating plan was designed to put the body into a maximum fat-burning state because it is low in carbohydrates and was originally designed as a means to treat epilepsy in children. However, there is a lot of confusion on how to use the diet for losing weight. In an article published on Daily Mail Online, experts debunked the five common myths about the keto diet . These include: Ketosis and ketoacidosis are similar – Ketosis should not be confused with ketoacidosis, according to Jim White, owner of Jim White Fitness and Nutrition Studios. Keto diet, short for ketogenic diet, is any diet that is high in fat but low in carbohydrates that stimulates ketosis . Ketosis is the process in which the body burns fat for energy instead of carbohydrates. This in turn leads to compounds called ketones to circulate in the blood and act as substitutes for carbohydrates. On the other hand, ketoacidosis occurs when the blood is extremely acidic, which is potentially fatal. In addition, it is usually observed in people with diabetes. Those who are following a ketogenic diet can experience ketoacidosis because extreme levels of ketones also cause the condition, based on a study review. Ketoacidosis can result to abdominal pain, weakness, thirst, shortness of breath, confusion, and blurred vision. The keto diet is high in protein – Kelly Roehl, a researcher and dietitian at Rush University , said the myth that the keto diet is a high-protein diet is the biggest and most dangerous myth. Moreover, she said that people on a keto diet must lessen their protein intake. This is because when the […]
Rowing is the new spin and start ‘fat fasting’… 8 health and wellness trends for weight loss in 2019
FITNESS, like fashion, changes with each new year. This year we’ve moved away from HIIT training and hardcore dieting towards less stressful but more permanent lifestyles – from intermittent fasting and keto dieting to infrared saunas and crosstraining. Getty – Contributor 2018 has seen us moving away from stressful workouts to focus more on relaxation and sustainable change And lots of that is set to continue into next 2019. But if you really want to get ahead of the curve, then these are just some of the fitness trends we’re going to see everywhere in 2019, according to Healthista : 1. Fat fasting for weight loss Intermittent fasting has become huge over the past year (some people have been doing it for years but many of us are recent converts). Getty – Contributor Adding saturated fat to your coffee during your fasting window might keep hunger at bay 16:8 is probably the most popular type of IF, with people eating during a fixed eight hour period and fasting for 16. That typically means skipping breakfast – having your first meal around lunchtime and your last bite to eat around 8pm. The only problem is keeping hunger at bay (although that does subside after a few days). And that’s where the 2019 version of IF differs. Regular intermittent fasting recommends having nothing but black coffee, tea and water in the fasting periods – but this one believes that bulletproof coffee – coffee with added butter – is the answer. According to stunt actress-turned-naturopath Annelie Whitfield, saturated fats satiate hunger without spiking blood sugar. Alamy Mmm, a cup of coffee with a side plate of fat So she’s all for adding butter or coconut butter into your drinks, so long as you’re not having sugar or carbs. "Remember, don’t be scared […]
Stronger than coffee and as beneficial as tea, here’s why you should be drinking yerba mate
( Natural News ) Coffee has become a part of many people’s lives. However, coffee isn’t the safest source of an energy boost. If it’s a healthy energizing drink that you want, then yerba mate is the answer. Previous studies have shown that too much coffee can cause side effects , such as addiction, heart palpitations, and panic attacks, since it has a lot of caffeine. Although yerba mate also has caffeine, it is considerably less than coffee’s. Moreover, even with its lower caffeine levels, yerba mate can provide the same energy boost as coffee. Yerba mate is made from dried leaves of the yerba mate ( Ilex paraguariensis ) plant, which is native to South America. In countries like Argentina and Uruguay, it is very common to drink this. However, it’s only in recent years that yerba mate has gained attention in the west because of its many benefits, which are listed below: Boosts energy – As previously mentioned, yerba mate provides an energy boost similar to that of coffee but without the side effects. Because of this, it’s extremely useful for people suffering from fatigue. Enhances mental function – Aside from caffeine, which is known to enhance brain function, yerba mate also contains theobromine and theophylline. These compounds act as brain stimulants that can enhance memory, mood, and alertness. Yerba mate has also been shown to stimulate dopamine production, which enhances mood and productivity. Provides nutrients – Yerba mate contains various vitamins and minerals that are needed by the body. In addition to this, yerba mate has bioactive compounds that exhibit antioxidant properties. Regulates the immune system – This property of yerba mate can be attributed to the presence of saponins and polyphenols. These compounds prevent the immune system from overreacting to both foreign and innate substances. […]
Take control of your anxiety with these proven natural remedies
( Natural News ) Many people experience anxiety when faced with stressful things, like a new job or a different environment. However, some people might have anxiety that’s too severe that it interrupts their daily lives. To relieve anxiety, there are many safe and effective natural remedies that can be used. Anxiety is normal but when the intensity isn’t proportional to the cause or when it lasts for long periods of time, that is when it becomes a problem. People with severe anxiety tend to rely on prescription drugs to get the relief that they are looking for. However, anxiety medications tend to cause unwanted side effects like nausea, headache, sleep disorders, fatigue, and addiction. In addition to this, prescription drugs can also be pricey so not everyone who needs them will be able to afford them. Fortunately, there are many natural remedies that are safe and effective. These include the following: Arctic root – This herb is commonly used both in Scandinavian and Chinese traditional medicine. It works as an adaptogen that promotes the production of neurotransmitters, like serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. The increase in these hormones can relieve symptoms of anxiety, such as brain fog, low energy, poor concentration, and depression. Ashwagandha – With a name that translates to “smell of the horse,” potential users should be wary of its strong smell. However, don’t let the smell of this herb be a turn off since its benefits will surely make up for it. When consumed, this herb can significantly reduce cortisol levels by 25 percent leading to a calmer state of mind. Additionally, ashwagandha is also said to increase stamina and strength. Bacopa – Bacopa is a part of Ayurvedic medicine. Although it doesn’t work as fast as the other remedies, months of taking bacopa can lead […]
What ‘Brain Fog’ Means — And How To Get Rid Of It As Quickly As Possible
You may sometimes find yourself at an unexpected loss for words, struggling to describe or provide information about something you know well, only to have the details pop back into your mind out of nowhere later the same day. Or you maybe you have a tendency to suddenly go blank mid-sentence, frozen by an unseen distraction that pulls you into off-course, derailing your train of thought. These are examples of a phenomenon known as "brain fog." What is brain fog? Brain fog can most easily be explained as momentary lapses in thinking and concentration which make people feel uncomfortable or queasy. Also known as clouding of consciousness or mental fog , it is a "term used in medicine denoting an abnormality in the regulation of the overall level of consciousness that is mild and less severe than a delirium. The sufferer experiences a subjective sensation of mental clouding described as feeling ‘foggy’." Sometimes, rather than being capable of responding immediately, our brain needs time to process our own requests for information. Those who work in healthcare sometimes refer to brain fog lapses as "senior moments." What are some causes of brain fog? Brain fog is often a symptom of mental health issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, stress and anxiety, and may also occur as the result of medical conditions or personal experiences that place stress on the brain. Personal Traumatic Experiences Resulting in Brain Fog For a period of time after my mother passed away, my brain shut down to process my feelings of grief. My normally excellent memory went on the fritz. I lost car keys and house keys, forgot appointments, and burst into tears at any moment.

Did you ever try nootropics and if so did they work for you?
Yep in fact I did try a lot of them! For you to understand why and my experience with Nootropics, a little background is needed! I’ve been a great fan of trying and experimenting with various supplements, especially brain enhancing supplements. My line of work is very, very stressful and tiresome, so any help is a hugely welcome plus in my day. I’ve tried many other bran pills over the years, ever since that famous movie sparked the interest in brain enhancers on everybody. After I stopped taking one of them because it was giving me headaches, I mentioned this side effect to a friend. He laughed and said he also was a fan of brain enhancers and had found one that I would probably like, called Addieup, and urged me to give it a try . I’ve searched for it online and found many reviews saying it was excellent, that it worked, etc. As the price was reasonable, I decided to give it a go. Delivery was speedy, and the product was very well packaged, an excellent first impression since often the bottles would come violated or with blank labels. So that was, at least for me, the first plus. After trying it for a couple of days , I was pleasantly surprised to experience that it was working as intended at least for me. Working as it was supposed to as a Nootropic, the first effect I noticed was that my brain felt more awake as in thoughts were much more clear inside my head. Gone was the lethargy and the jumbled thoughts I got whenever I was working for a long time non-stop, or when I woke up in the morning. What was new to me is that I’ve also noticed I got more energy, which […]
Curcumin Has A Natural Protection To Brain Health
Curcumin has a potent inflammation-fighting property that could fight a range of diseases and disorders linked with inflammation. ( Newswire.net — October 17, 2018) Orlando, FL — Curcumin, which is a phytochemical found in turmeric, has long been found to be highly therapeutic. It has multiple health-enhancing approaches, and could be highly beneficial for the body and mind. Curcumin has a natural ability to offer protection to brain health. This bioactive agent found in turmeric is popularized by the powerful healing agents it contains. Curcumin contains anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticoagulant, anti-purulent, antibacterial, and anti-tumor properties. It has even been found to be useful against diabetes and life-threatening conditions like cancer. For thousands of years, turmeric has been used for many medicinal purposes. This deep yellow orange colored spice has been a popular natural cure in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. It has strong abilities to fight a myriad of health problems, and could even be useful in enhancing overall brain health. Using turmeric is a delicious way to enhance brain function and decrease the chances of cognitive decline. In a study involving participants within 40 to 90 years of age, it was found that participants who took a 500 mg capsule thrice a day for 12 months experienced better memory and recall than the placebo group. The placebo group, on the other hand, demonstrated reduced cognitive function in the tests of verbal and memory skills unlike the curcumin group, and this was found only after six months. According to some researchers, curcumin has the ability to keep nasty proteins called beta amyloids from building up in the brain. When there is accumulation of beta amyloids, it could increase the risk of neuron-destroying plaque formation that is linked with Alzheimer’s disease. Curcumin has further been found to have the ability to […]

Brain boosting power tips: Ways to improve memory *
Forgetting things feels awful. It can make your stomach wrench, curdle, and drop. From remembering when there’s a doctor’s appointment, to changing your car’s oil, to picking up the kids from school—most people have plenty to remember every day and this can be overwhelming – to say the least. In boosting your brain’s power, you can work to improve memory and mind-related skills in a practical manner, in order to reduce the repercussions of letting something slip your mind. How Does Brain-Boosting Improve Memory? What is brain-boosting? Brain-boosting is like a workout for the mind. It uses exercises and certain challenges to make you sharper and better at accessing knowledge stored in your brain. In fact, one of the best things you can do to boost brain power and improve memory is to learn new things and develop new habits and practices daily. What does this entail, exactly? Well, according to sources, when we do the same thing repeatedly, our brain can become passive and begin functioning on the same level consistently. However, if we learn to challenge the brain and the way it processes information; such as what happens when we learn a new language, athletic skill, or hobby; the brain begins to function on higher, more efficient levels. “Every time you learn something new, your brain changes in a pretty substantial way,” says this Lifehacker article. According to Cornell University, researchers have learned that when an individual becomes proficient at something through practice, their brain no longer needs to work as hard. “The researchers found that the brain regions that are involved in attention-demanding activities are less active after training compared with before,” writes the Cornell Chronicle. “Whereas the brain regions that typically are at rest (known as the default network), became more active.” In addition to […]
A bad combo: Combining wheat and sugar can lead to inflammation
( Natural News ) One of the great things about food is how different ingredients can be combined to produce a dish with its own unique flavor. There’s a catch, however — not all ingredients, when combined, are beneficial, and some of them may even be harmful to a person’s health. In his video, Charles Kwang of Kwang Wellness identifies one of the most common pairings when it comes to food, and how it can lead to inflammation. Kwang highlights that wheat and sugar, when taken separately, has potential health benefits; however, once the two are combined, it creates a synergistic effect that can worsen inflammation. “They make you feel yucky,” he added. Watch the full discussion, only on REAL.video: A big no-no It just happens that Western diets are rife with items that have both wheat and sugars — including bread, breakfast cereals, pasta, noodles, cakes, and biscuits. To make it worse, most of these foods are what’s known as refined carbs , or those that have been processed and stripped of most nutrients and fiber. Eating refined carbs can increase the risk of obesity, Type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Earlier studies have stated that refined carbs can cause inflammation, as well as an increase in belly fat and resistance to leptin (an enzyme that regulates body weight). It doesn’t help that these foods can cause rapid spikes in blood sugar and insulin. This means that eating these foods will make a person full for a short while, after which a rapid drop in blood sugar occurs — making him miserable and hungry again.

Rosemary Extract Beverage Can Help To Improve Memory (STUDY)
Research shows that memory and cognitive performance can be improved by as much as 15% by drinking a rosemary extract beverage. The experiment made use of a commercially available rosemary extract beverage called “No1 Rosemary Water”, an additive free spring water and concentrated rosemary extract combination. Only fresh rosemary and not dried was made use of and it was cold brewed to ensure that all of the natural active compounds were extracted. This research expands on earlier studies that show the benefits of rosemary in improving memory function. A number of tests for measuring cognitive performance that focused on memory were carried out by the researchers. The tests were created for evaluating the capability of the study participants to retain as well as manipulate information. Over several tests, the participants drinking rosemary extract saw a marked improvement in the ability for recalling information and completing cognitive tasks. The study participants in the test group were provided 250ml of the concentrated rosemary extract. Twenty minutes after drinking the rosemary extract, the test group had their brain blood flow measured while carrying out the tasks to evaluate how effectively the body was extracting energy in comparison to the control group. Individuals consuming rosemary extract experienced an average 15% increase in cognitive performance in addition to an increase in deoxygenated red blood cell levels flowing through the brain. This suggests that the brain is extracting the energy it needs to perform the task more effectively. Summary of findings: Improved blood flow to the brain – statistically significant increased levels of deoxygenated blood was seen in the brain in comparison to placebo group, which indicates improved oxygen extraction while performing cognitive tasks. This is the 1st evidence that ingesting rosemary has cerebrovascular benefits. Improved long-term memory and working memory – an average improvement […]
New study reveals the vital role vitamin K2 plays in heart health
( Natural News ) Atherosclerosis, the buildup of plaque in your blood vessels, is one of the leading causes of heart attacks. Apart from following a healthy diet and engaging in regular exercise, increasing your intake of vitamin K2 is one of the best ways to prevent atherosclerosis and keep your heart healthy. Atherosclerosis accounts for more than 30 percent of cardiovascular disease-related deaths around the world. It is a condition wherein plaque develops in the arteries, causing these major blood vessels to harden and become narrow. The plaque stifles blood flow, making the heart work harder and increasing your risk of dying from a stroke or from aneurysms. In atherosclerosis, the plaque is usually formed from accumulated cholesterol and, in many cases, calcium — the very mineral that your bones and teeth are made of. This is why although a low-fat diet does reduce your risk for atherosclerosis, it is not the end of the story. Vitamin K2 and atherosclerosis There are two types of vitamin K. The more popular of the two is vitamin K1, also known as phylloquinone, a nutrient that is vital to your blood’s ability to form clots. Because of this, it is essential for your ability to recover from injuries and for preventing hemorrhages. Vitamin K2, also known as menaquinone, performs an entirely different function. It bonds with calcium, helping regulate the mineral’s levels in your body. When bound with vitamin K2, calcium is more readily delivered to your bones and teeth where it is needed the most. The vitamin also enhances your ability to store calcium and prevents the mineral from infiltrating your soft tissues, including your arteries.

Instead of eating, listen to music – Studies show that listening to tunes helps us cope with difficult emotions
( Natural News ) To get rid of lingering bad feelings, most people either turn to emotional eating or listen to music. It turns out, there’s a link between these two coping mechanisms , according to the findings of a recent study. Negative emotions are described as unwanted feelings, such as depression and anxiety. It’s part of human nature to want to avoid these emotions as much as possible, which is why different adaptive mechanisms are employed to get rid of them. Emotional eating is said to be a maladaptive self-regulation strategy that aims to satisfy emotional health instead of hunger. However, this will cause a person to eat more than necessary and lead to health repercussions associated with overeating such as obesity, diabetes, and heart problems. A healthier alternative to emotional eating, according to researchers, is to listen to music, which activates the same neurons in the brain as emotional eating would. People who listen to music to cope do it to discharge. Simply put, they pick tunes that share the same negative feeling, which helps them release it. For other people, they listen to divert or entertain themselves, which means picking more upbeat and positive music to forget what they were feeling. The study, which was led by Dr. Annemieke van den Tol from De Montfort University in the U.K., examined whether a link existed between these two coping mechanisms. Results showed that people who listened to discharge had the tendency to engage in emotional eating. On the other hand, those who listened to be entertained were less likely to engage in emotional eating. 100% organic essential oil sets now available for your home and personal care, including Rosemary, Oregano, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Clary Sage and more, all 100% organic and laboratory tested for safety.

Milk thistle is not only good for your liver – it can protect you from the toxic effects of chemotherapy, too
( Natural News ) You’ve probably heard of milk thistle, even if you’re not quite sure exactly what it is or what it can do for your health. In fact, there’s a chance you see it growing wild all the time and don’t even realize the power this humble weed possesses. Milk thistle has many great qualities, but it is most revered for its effects on the liver . It can improve liver enzymes, assist with rebuilding cells in the liver, and help those suffering from liver ailments. One liver-related health problem that has been growing in recent years is nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Milk thistle can help to treat the condition and stop it from becoming its more serious form, steatohepatitis. Research has shown that milk thistle can help hepatitis patients get back to work sooner, and it also reduces anxiety and depression. It can protect your liver from injury from drugs and heavy metals, and it also helps to detoxify it. For example, a review in Phytotherapy Research shows that silymarin, the antioxidant flavonoid that makes milk thistle so beneficial, can protect the liver from radiation, poisonous mushrooms, acetaminophen, iron overload and even alcohol. It is also an excellent way to get protection from the toxic effects of chemotherapy. It has long been known that milk thistle can work against cancer, reducing the oxidative damage and inflammation that can spur the disease. It also helps your body to preserve glutathione, an antioxidant that fights inflammation. Researchers from the University of Minnesota have found that silymarin can fight cancer by preventing toxins from binding to the receptors in cell membranes.

Powerful Sage Extracts Boosting Brain Power
Clinical research has revealed positive findings pertaining to memory loss and boosting brain power with the help of a simple herb that enhances and increases both ACH and BDNF production without prescriptions. Over 5.4 million Americans have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease for which there is no known cure. But there is promising research holding great potential. There is a chemical directly responsible for growing new brain cells and neuroplasticity at any age called Brain Derived Neutrotrophic Factor. BDNF is a natural wonder produced within the body that acts like a growth hormone for the brain, helps to protect against dementia, and enhances brain regeneration. BDNF relies on acetylcholine neurotransmitters that are required for proper memory, cognition, and learning. With age ACH decreases and breaks down which can lead to memory loss and dementia. It is possible to help control levels of ACH and BDNH without prescriptions with use of a simple herb: SAGE. Sage comes from the Latin salvere which means to cure, and has been used traditionally to treat a wide range of illnesses attributed to its wide assortment of bioactive compounds. However this isn’t the kind of herb that is commonly found in kitchens, this is Sage Extract. During clinical testing Sage Extract helped to reverse 70% of memory loss in otherwise healthy older participants, and reduced the breakdown of ACH by 53.52% helping to reverse deterioration due to aging and helping to grow new brains cells and boost memory. Sage extract also has anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, antibacterial, and antimicrobial properties as well as showing potential effects for diabetes and gastric ulcers.

The Power Within by Corey Daniels book available for only $2.99
Mind has both conscious and subconscious halves. These are likened to a driver and the truck he drives. The driver plans the destination and observes road conditions, while the truck provides motive power. Your subconscious mind is like the truck and it only goes in the direction in which is a steered. This can be the road or off a cliff. Likewise, the consciousness paints a picture of what the world is and what your goals are and the subconscious acts on them through emotion, physical response and energy, whether these are correct, rational images or false negative ones. The subconscious is also like an emotional reservoir which your body and mind draw responses from to external stimuli.
The Power Within lays out a method of programming your subconscious and tapping into the Holy Spirit, God voice or what the Greeks called the daimon (godman).
