Vitamins
and Other Nutrients For The Brain
|
The human brain, a true miracle of evolution, is a delicate, sensitive
instrument. Its chemical balance plays a major part in how it functions.
Many of the substances found within the brain that are so important
to its optimum performance are directly related to the nutrients that
we consume. In fact, research has shown that certain vitamins are very
important to brain function and even to the protection of that functioning.
Free radicals can cause serious damage in the brain, and because of
the brain’s specialized functions that require the some of highest levels
of oxygen in the body, the brain is the place in the body that free
radicals are most able to do their damage. Free radical damage in the
brain includes memory loss and the decrease of cognitive ability. Some
studies indicate that unchecked free radical damage may play a great
role in Alzheimer's disease.
That makes such anti-oxidant vitamins as C and E very important to the
health and functioning of the brain. These two vitamins in conjunction
have been found to slow memory loss and recent studies have shown that
they can even offer significant protection against Alzheimer's disease,
as well as against certain types of age-related dementia. Sufficient
folic acid, part of the Vitamin B Complex, intake has also been associated
with a decrease in the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
The Vitamin B complex is known to be essential to the proper functioning
of the brain. Those lacking in these vitamins can suffer from various
types of dementia, confusion, short-term memory loss, and certain types
of mental illness. Maintaining proper levels of Vitamin B complex nutrients
can improve verbal memory.
Omega-3 fatty acids are important for memory, as well as is Phosphatidylserine
or PS. PS has been found to play a role in the production of the chemicals
that act as neurotransmitters, which is part of the way the brain communicates
and affects, among many things, memory. Ginko bilboa is a supplement
that has been found in some studies to offer protection against age-related
memory loss. A recent study in Britain found that depriving the body
of iron can actually reduce the IQ level. It is truly amazing the power
that nutrition hold over the brain.
In today’s fast food culture, a result of society moving at a more rapid
pace than ever before, nutrition all too often suffers. This is especially
the case for children, and is very unfortunate, as proper nutrition
is an essential part brain development and function. In order to fully
meet their intellectual potentials, children must meet the suggested
daily intake levels of vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients.
Drive through cuisine and prepackaged, over processed so-called convenience
foods simply cannot provide what the brain really needs.
For the best brain development and performance, as well as for potential
protection against some of the most devastating brain diseases, proper
nutrition is essential. If you find that you or your family does not
regularly consume the recommended daily requirements of the several
vitamins and minerals that are known to support brain development and
function, you may want to consider making nutritional supplements a
part of the daily routine.
