Who isn’t interested in boosting their brainpower?! The herbs that you’ll find in this post as well as in the posts that’ll appear over the next few days, have proven themselves in study after study. They are food and fuel for our minds! Each has unique benefits and effects, and I urge you to find the one(s) that interest you and further your research.
Experts suggest that you try these herbs one at a time – don’t go for the super combo, everything rolled into one, more bang for your buck capsule. Choose one, give it a try and see what kind of benefits you and your mind can rack up.
Most of these herbs are each of the following:
- Antioxidants - Meaning they annihilate free radicals that wreak havoc and harm in our bodies.
- Brain Food – They increase the oxygen and glucose supply to the brain. When you consider that it’s oxygen and glucose that the brain relies on to function properly, you can see why an increase in their supply is a mah-velous thing!
- Neurotransmitter Helpers – Brain cells communicate through neurotransmitters. Most of these herbs either increase these neurotransmitters or decrease their rate of destruction.
- Neuroprotectors - Protect nerve cells from damage caused by poor circulation, toxic compounds, etc. When a nerve cell is damaged, it cannot be fixed and you cannot grow a new one. Senility results from a lifetime of such damage.
THE HERBS:
Bacopa (The Memory Herb) The traditional medicine system of India uses Bacopa for improving anxiety, intellect, and memory. Experts now agree that Bacopa is as good as it gets when it comes to improving memory.
Studies have proven that Bacopa improves the speed at which we process information. It also helps us to retain the information wealready have. Furthermore, its proven antioxidant activity may make it useful in preventing age-related memory loss.
Cordyceps (The Brain Energizer)
Cordyceps is actually a Chinese fungus. It has a long history of treating exhaustion, weakness, feelings of being run-down, low interest in sex, and aging.
The reason it’s success lies in the fact that it stimulates the liver – causing it to release more stored energy in the form of glucose. It also helps the adrenal glands to function better. All of this activity leads to more energy – physical as well as mental.
Where to find these herbs: Cordyceps is available at health food stores and in Chinese Herb shops. Bacopa is available online at Himalaya USA. Again, do your research and you’ll be able to find other places where they are available.
Tomorrow: Ginkgo Bilboa!
