A good brain fitness program helps different parts of our brain to communicate to each other

What is important to know to design a good brain fitness program

* Brain supplements for good brain health
* Our diet considerations for good brain health
* Herbs and amino-acids for our brain health support

As we age we are more concerned with our brain health, our independence and ability to handle our affairs being in a full active and powerful mind. We want to make sure we can rely on our brain completely.

Our brain anatomy page demonstrates that our ability to think is supposed to perform not any less effectively than at our earlier age, unless we have any becoming very popular during last decades disorders, like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s diseases. Our kids are often getting Autism symptoms during the same latest decades.

As we age, the more complex parts of our brain are affected the most. Newer types of related studies are focusing on connections between various brain areas, and have found that the main problem is brain internal communication.

In order for us to be able to think, different parts of our brain have to communicate or “talk” to each other. If the wiring that allows them to talk is malfunctioning, the brain has difficulty thinking, remembering, and controlling emotions — many of the things we see in people suffering with Alzheimer’s disease.

David Perlmutter, M.D., a board-certified neurologist and fellow at the American College of Nutrition, being a leading authority on nutrition and the brain, has been enhancing the brain health of his patients, developing advanced therapeutic approaches, carrying out cutting-edge research, and contributing to the world’s scientific literature on neurology for 25 years.

You might be interested with an authored by Dr. Perlmutter Power Up Your Brain: The Neuroscience of Enlightenment [Hardcover] book about the latest developments in brain cell generation and maintaining a healthy brain. This book provides a detailed program to jump-start optimal brain function.

Brain health vitamins for a good brain fitness program

Many people and even physicians, think that Alzheimer’s disease is primarily a loss of brain cells - neurons. In fact, the greatest loss is of the synaptic connections between neurons, and the good news is that especially in early stages, this condition can be reversed.

Chronic inflammation in the brain is one of the usual reasons for the brain malfunctioning. Via immuno-excitotoxicity inflammation interferes with the so important internal brain communication, and a number of recent studies show that as we age, our brain becomes more inflamed.

The Alzheimer’s patient’s brain is infinitely more inflamed than the brain of a healthy person of the same age.

A number of natural products have shown ability to ease brain inflammation, stimulate repair of the damage that has been done, and lower free radical and lipid peroxidation damage.

The most important nutritional supplements for reducing or preventing the brain inflammation are –

* DHA
* Buffered vitamin C
* Curcumin
* Natural vitamin E
* Ellagic acid
* Folate and
* Methylcobalamin
* Niacinamide
* Proanthocyanidins
* Pyridoxal-5-phosphate
* Quercetin
* Resveratrol
* Riboflavin

The brain cells are also very important and they remain alive and can be rescued. Saving brain cells requires dietary changes, special supplements combinations, and exercise.


According to several studies, one of the brain’s most important protectantsis melatonin, which most of us associate with a get log and sleep.

Melatonin has been proven to be a powerful and versatile antioxidant that stimulates the production of brain antioxidant enzymes and promotes brain healing.

As we age, levels of melatonin in the brain fall what often seen as a reason for problems with sleeping. Much lover levels of melatonin are found with Alzheimer’s disease sufferers. We can find melatonin supplements in many good Health Food Stores or online.

Our diet considerations for a good brain fitness program

Various studies provide compelling data, indicating that sugars are, by far, the most harmful product in our diets, especially high-fructose corn syrup. When we consume a lot of sugars in our diet, the excess is converted into advanced glycation end products or AGEs.

These are very caustic molecules that trigger massive free radical generation, damage enzymes, and alter proteins essential to cell function.

Studies have also shown that fasting one a day a week, which the Bible recommends, has significant beneficial effects on health. In fact, a one-day fast is equal in benefit to more extensive caloric restriction, which doesn’t work for most people any way.

Although there is a lot of talk about obesity, not all of it is true.

Herbs and amino-acids which should also be a part of our brain fitness program

The following supplements are often recommended as memory vitamins and they help to increase memory, help sleeping and calm us down dealing with stress and depression:

* Gama-aminobutyric acid (GABA)
* Ginkgo Biloba
* 5-HTP
* Huperzine A
* Kava Kava
* Phosphatidylserine (PS)
* S-Adenosyl-Methionine SAMe
* St. Johns Wort

You can find these supplements in good Health Food stores and online.
