TRENDS: POOR NUTRITION AND HIGH STRESS = POOR MEMORY

Today, memory decline and mental insufficiency has become a standard complaint with all age groups. Parents are concerned and frustrated wondering how to help their children’s noticeable brain fatigue. Poor retention goes beyond lack of sleep or boredom.

The majority of difficulty lies with our short term memory, whereas the long term memory tends to remain stable.

Maintaining brainpower is largely due to quality nutrition and managing stress levels throughout ones life. Whether the effects are sudden as seen following a stroke or associated with a gradual erosion of ones mental capabilities, dietary supplementation has shown to lessen deterioration while proving extremely beneficial. A malnourished, overworked brain will eventually become fatigued and short out.

“PICKING UP” DEFICIENCIES IMPROVES BRAIN FUNCTION

Nutritional deficiencies have been identified as a possible factor with many patients from adolescent’s selective memory to Alzheimer’s disease. The symptoms of poor brain function are improved through diet alterations, extra nutrients and other remedies. Abnormally low levels of folic acid, B12 and zinc have been recognized as a contributing factor. A diet rich in antioxidants is best; for instance garlic, blueberries, fruits, vegetables, variety of fresh greens, green tea, nutritional flaked yeast, nuts, seeds and raw food whenever possible.

KEY NUTRIENTS FOR A SHARP MIND

Omega 3 fatty acids (EFA’s) are important for maintaining a sharp, clear mind. These essential fats are often low in the North American diet. Good sources include krill, sea vegetables, seeds, eggs, whole grains, Fish Oils, flax seed oil, evening primrose and borage oil.

Lecithin is a multipurpose supplement; a rich source of choline which is necessary for brain functions and has the ability to transport fat out of the body. Lecithin will retain its effectiveness when heated or may be consumed as a supplement. This soy based product is available in some grocery or health food stores in fresh granules, liquid or capsules.

MEDICINAL HERBAL TRENDS OUT OF EUROPE

Herbs that feed the Brain

The following suggestions and recipes will boost brainpower and improve memory.

Many pharmaceuticals have originated from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbs. Huperzine A, for example is derived from the herb Huperzia serrata, is used to treat senile dementia.

Ginkgo biloba extract or GBE is the most frequently used phytomedicine in Europe. Germany has approved GBE for the treatment of dementia related memory deficits, concentration problems and depression; and for vertigo, tinnitus and compromised blood flow. Ginkgo has unique flavonoids with chemical properties similar to vitamin P, which are found nowhere else in nature. The whole leaf extract has many active components shown to have pharmacological actions including free radical destruction, reduction of lipids and reduced blood platelet aggregation.

Daily dosage: 120mg to 240mg. * Gingko can affect blood clotting if blood thinners such as Coumadin or warfarin are also used.

STUDIES VALIDATE THE BENEFITS OF GINSENG

Long valued in Asia as an adaptogenic herb, Ginseng has become one of the top three herbal products in the United States. All varieties of ginseng are recognized as brain rejuvenators and enhancers. Thousands of studies have been done with beneficial effects on fatigue, weakness, exhaustion, loss of concentration, neurological disorders, impotence and immune boosting.

Dosage: 200 to 600 milligrams of extract or 0.5 to 2 grams of dry ginseng root daily.

OTHER KEY HERBS OF EASTERN TRADITIONS

In Ayurvedic medicine, the herb Gotu kola is one of the most regarded herbs for brain function. In China, gotu kola is used extensively to aid the brain in coping with huge amounts of stress, intense mental activity and for memory.

Dosage: 3 capsules twice a day or ½ to 1 teaspoon of tincture/extract two times a day.

Ashwagandha has a reputation for enhancing the thyroid. In addition, this herb has key amino acids that boost the brain, while calming the nervous system, clearing the mind and inducing deep sleep. Dosage: 450mg to 900mg daily.

RECIPES: BRAIN BALLS AND SEASONING SPRINKLE = BRAIN POWER

=== IN CONCLUSION ===

Healthy eating as well as good sleeping habits and regular exercise, help give the body the best possible chance to heal itself. Prolonged stress and strain from being overburdened will cause physical fatigue of the brain. Just as specific nutrients support our memory process so to will a calm relaxing environment. Clearing the mind through enjoyable activities and hobbies lowers stress while improving mental acuity. To maintain internal balance and physic health, rest the mind and body with calming techniques such as yoga, meditation, walking outdoors – anything which promotes peace.

An active lifestyle and a balanced diet is what people with or without high levels of cholesterol should put as high priority in their list. It is actually not just about the danger of having it, but it is more on practicing a healthier lifestyle and preventing putting your life at risk. Some people who have high cholesterol levels take high cholesterol treatment while others prefer cholesterol lowering supplements.

One of the most famous cholesterol-lowering products is the red yeast rice that was used in China and Japan for many years before it was introduced to the US. It has been proven to reduce the amount of ldl or the bad cholesterol in the body. The red yeast rice is found in many cholesterol drugs. It is somehow more effective and more natural as it lowers the levels of ldl and triglycerides without the side effects that statin drugs have. A major one being its affect on the liver in the long run.

Policosanol is an extract that comes from sugar cane. This extract is actually studied in medical science and is proven to lower the bad cholesterol and raising the good ones by controlling the liver in producing the substance. It is shown in studies that it can lower cholesterol levels by up to 20 percent.

Extracts of green tea and artichoke have the same benefits. While green tea has its active ingredient polyphenols, artichoke has the cynarin which speeds up the secretion of cholesterol out of the body.

Guggulipid extract is proven useful in curing a number of ailments. It India it is a tried and tested formula for centuries. Products with berberine also help, with Oregon grape and barberry containing such substance.

Omega 3 acids which can be found in fish and Fish Oil are also among the list of safest and more popular cholesterol supplements. Flax seed oil also contains omega 3 acids and is a safe option besides fish.

Sterols and stanols in plants also reduce the ldl but without any effect on the hdl or the good cholesterol. However, research studies show that people taking medication show more improvement while taking stanols and sterols.

Some products are proven while others are still undergoing further studies to test their effects. Nevertheless, if you have high cholesterol you shouldn’t take a cholesterol supplement without informing your doctor. This is so that the doctor knows what you are taking and he can see if it blends well and make improvements to your health rather than contradicting with other medications that he may prescribe and causing other health problems.

If you take paracetemol or an anti-inflammatory drug when you suffer from pain, you’re not alone. A 2005 study, reported in the American Journal of Therapy, showed paracetemol was the most acceptable form of analgesic drug for two-thirds of patients with osteoarthritis pain.

Another study on behalf of the International Arthritis Action Group, found 47 percent of Australians in pain do not use medication because they’re worried about side effects, or feel they don’t know enough about the risks and benefits of treatment. Some do try medication but if it doesn’t work they’re reluctant to discuss an alternative with their GP or specialist. Often they give up searching for help and assume they have to live with soreness and pain. Not so.

Paracetemol may be effective for a first line of defence, but for long term relief it may be worth considering these 7 natural food and supplement options.

OMEGA 3 FISH OIL.

Fish Oils are derived from deep sea fish such as salmon, mackerel, sardines, anchovies and tuna. They provide a rich source of the omega 3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. According to Dr Ronald Klatz, president of American Academy of Anti-aging Medicine, omega 3s are excellent anti inflammatories, which may be beneficial in the pain relief of rheumatoid and osteoarthritis.

Omega 3 fatty acids may also be taken in capsule form and can be beneficial when combined with glucosamine sulfate. One helps to build and support cartilage, the other works to ease inflammation.

COOKED VEGETABLES AND OLIVE OIL.

A diet loaded with cooked vegetables and olive oil, may help reduce the pain, swelling and discomfort of rheumatoid arthritis, according to a study from Harvard School of Public Health and reported in American School of Clinical Nutrition.

Your body makes bad prostoglandins that cause swelling and pain and good prostoglandins that prevent swelling and pain. Aspirin and other arthritis pain medicines contain drugs that block the bad prostoglandins.

Cooked vegetables and olive oils contain polyunsaturated and monounsaturated oils that are used by your body to make the good prostoglandins that block pain and swelling. They are also loaded with antioxidants.

ASHWAGHANDA ROOT.

This herb is used extensively in Ayurveda, the traditional medicine of India. It stimulates immunity and as an antioxidant, reduces cell damaging free radicals.
Its anti inflammatory properties have been shown to be helpful for the pain of arthritis.

LEMON BALM.

An important antioxidant containing a high concentration of phenols, chemicals that fight cell damaging toxins. It can help decrease the pain of inflammatory conditions such as arthritis.

EVENING PRIMROSE OIL.

The active ingredient in this plant is gamma linoleic acid [GLA] an omega 6 fatty acid. Supplementing with evening primrose oil may help in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis pain. Taken by many women to relieve period pain, it could also cut the chances of women with breast cancer having a relapse, according to an American study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

SULPHUR RICH FOODS.

Sulphur is vital for the repair and rebuilding of bones, cartilage and connective tissue. Sulphur rich foods include cabbage, onion, broccoli, garlic, leak and eggs.
Sulphur can be taken in supplement form as MSM {Methyl sulfonyl methane} and is often included in formulas that include glucosamine and chondroitin. According to Dr Ronald M. Lawrence, of the UCLA School of Medicine and Founding Member of the American Association for the Study of Pain, people with joint issues often lack the proper amount of sulphur to let the body heal itself.

WILLOW BARK.

White willow bark is a natural aspirin. According to naturopath Ron Gellatley, it reduces swelling and pain without any side effects. Try drinking away stiffness and pain with a cup of hot willow bark tea. To brew the tea, add one teaspoon of dried willow bark to a cup of boiled water. Steep for 5 minutes, then strain before drinking.

The benefits of green tea extract may be accompanied by risks if the dosage is too high.  Other nutrients must be present at the same time, in order to avoid these risks.  In other words, supplements that contain only the tea extracts and nothing else are not your best choice.

The studies concerning the potential toxicity of the catechins found in green tea were conducted in the same manner as those that describe the benefit.  It was found that at high doses, the catechins were toxic to liver cells and caused the depletion of glutathione, an important tri-peptide that also acts as an antioxidant.

Judging by all of the research that has been done, it seems that some antioxidants are important to some parts of the body, but not to others.  So, there must be a balance.  One of the benefits of green tea extract is to protect the stomach, throat and prostrate from cancer.  Glutathione, on the other hand, prevents oxidative stress to the heart and the brain.  Resveratrol, another antioxidant, protects the cells of the breast, skin, colon and pancreas from free radical damage that can lead to cancer.

Basically, we need all of these antioxidants, if we want to live a long healthy life, but we don’t want to overdo it.  According to respected scientists, to get the benefits of green tea extract, with no risk, the daily dosage should be 100mg per day.  If you see a supplement that contains more than that, don’t buy it.

There are, of course, some that advocate mega-doses of vitamins and higher dosages may be appropriate for treating certain diseases, but as a maintenance dose, 100mg per day is perfect.  You get the catechins, but not enough to cause damage to the liver or the depletion of glutathione.

Levels of glutathione are known to decrease with age, so supplementation is necessary and important, particularly if you are also taking extracts from green teas.  But, until recently, there was a problem.  Regular glutathione cannot be used by the cells and is useless if it is released in the stomach, as it would be with normal capsules or tablets.  So, you need to look for supplements that contain “reduced” glutathione of low molecular weight and the tablet should have an enteric coating to prevent stomach acid from making it useless.

If you wanted the benefits of green tea extract, reduced glutathione and resveratrol, as well as the nutrients that your body requires to function on a daily basis, you could buy five or six different bottles or you could look for a multi-nutritional supplement that contains all of these things.  I always like to get the best value for my money, so I choose a multi-ingredient supplement and I take an omega3 Fish Oil supplement, so that all of my bases are covered.

The benefits of green tea extract are greater than those that you get from drinking tea all day, but remember to shop carefully and read the label.  Too much of a good thing can be bad for you. If you have a few minutes to spare, please take a look at my website now.

Schizophrenia is a chronic, severe, and disabling brain disease. Approximately one percent of the population develops schizophrenia during their lifetime – more than two million Americans suffer from the illness in any given year. Although schizophrenia affects men and women with equal frequency, the disorder often appears earlier in men, usually in the late teens or early twenties; women are generally affected in the twenties to early thirties. People with schizophrenia often suffer terrifying symptoms such as hearing internal voices not heard by others, or believing that other people are reading their minds, controlling their thoughts, or plotting to harm them. These symptoms may leave them fearful and withdrawn. Their speech and behaviour can be disorganised and strange to the extent that they may be incomprehensible or frightening to others.

How is Schizophrenia Diagnosed?
There is currently no physical or lab test that can conclusively diagnose schizophrenia – a psychiatrist usually makes the diagnosis based on clinical symptoms. Physical testing can rule out many other conditions (seizure disorders, metabolic disorders, thyroid dysfunction, brain tumour, the effects of street drug use, and so on) that sometimes have similar symptoms.

What causes Schizophrenia?
Although the exact cause of schizophrenia remains unknown, experts agree that schizophrenia develops as a result of interplay between biological predisposition (for example, inheriting certain genes) and environmental factors. These lines of research are beginning to converge: brain development disruption is likely the result of genetic and/or environmental stressors early in development (during pregnancy or early childhood), leading to subtle alterations in the brain. Environmental factors later in development can either damage the brain further and further increase the risk of schizophrenia, or lessen the expression of genetic or neurodevelopment defects, thus decreasing the risk of schizophrenia.

Treatment for schizophrenia
The American Psychiatric Association publication ‘Guidelines for the Treatment of Patients with Schizophrenia’ states: “Antipsychotic medications are indicated for nearly all acute psychotic episodes in patients with schizophrenia.”
 
There is also a significant overlap in terms of the medications for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (Manic Depression).
There are two main classifications of medications (from a layman’s perspective); the traditional antipsychotic medications (Haldol, etc.), and the newer, ‘atypical’ antipsychotic medications that have come out in the past decade (Clozapine, Geodon, Seroquel, Risperdal, Zyprexa, Abilify, etc.). It is recommended that sufferers or their carers speak to online support groups to get in touch with others, and to hear about their personal successes and problems with the different medications. It is also a good idea to read as much as possible regarding the medications available, and talk with a psychiatrist, to identify the medications that may be appropriate. It should be kept in mind that whilst both the older and newer medications can greatly help a person with schizophrenia, they all have significant side effects that vary according to the individual. No medication available, unfortunately, constitutes an actual cure for schizophrenia.

A natural treatment for schizophrenia?
While the conclusions drawn range from the positive to the negative, research does suggest that people with schizophrenia may benefit by a reduction in symptoms when they take fish oil capsules that are high in the EPA (a type of Omega-3 fatty acid) form of oil. It is important to be careful about the type of fish oil you are using, as not all fish oils are effective. Researchers at the University of Sheffield tell us: “What people really need to be looking at is the amount of EPA in the fish oil they are buying. Our data from previous studies suggests that DHA is of little use in the treatment of schizophrenia, but EPA is the substance that yields the best results. Dosage wise it is suggested that about 2,000 mg/day to 4,000 mg/day (2 to 4 grams/day) should help.”

A research review article from 2005 in the journal Drugs states: “The evidence to date supports the adjunctive use [i.e. in addition to antipsychotic medications] of omega-3 fatty acids in the management of treatment unresponsive depression and schizophrenia. As these conditions are associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease and diabetes mellitus, omega-3 fatty acids should also benefit the physical state of these patients.” (Drugs, 2005; 65(8):1051-9).

Fish fats, and the oils extracted from them, contain two biologically-active omega 3 fatty acids, DHA, EPA. There are good theoretical reasons why both might be important in the brain. However, with regard to schizophrenia, evidence is accumulating that it is the EPA which is really helpful, whereas DHA may not be beneficial in this context.

The strongest evidence comes from a study at Sheffield University by Dr Malcolm Peet and his colleagues. They did a study in patients with chronic, partially treatment-resistant schizophrenia. These patients continued on their existing medications. They were then randomised on a double-blind basis to receive either a placebo, or high EPA Fish Oil from sardines or anchovies, or high DHA fish oil from tuna. In other words, all the treatments were coded so that neither the patients nor the doctors knew which patient was receiving which treatment until the trial had been completed and the code broken. When the code was broken, the results were very clear. The placebo patients, as is usual in such experiments, showed a small improvement. The DHA patients also showed a small improvement, but in fact a lesser one than was evident in the placebo group, raising the possibility that DHA may not be helpful. In contrast, the patients on EPA showed a significant improvement which was comparable to that seen with the newer antipsychotic drugs, yet without the side effects.

Other studies have also shown that the same EPA rich oil as was used in the Sheffield study is very helpful in improving symptoms even in those who have a shorter history of schizophrenia. It therefore seems that the best fish oils to use are those which are high in EPA.

These findings have been fully embraced by the Schizophrenia Association of Great Britain, which recommends EPA fish oil along with other nutritional supplements on a daily basis to help treat this condition.

Conclusion
The current evidence points towards this natural essential fatty acid being beneficial for schizophrenia especially when run alongside current antipsychotic medication.

Any good doctor or nutritionist will tell you that the best way to get any nutrient is to eat a very balanced diet. In the case of Omega 3 oil this would be in the form of fish. Sadly due to the pollution levels found in our oceans today eating large portions of fish every day is not advisable.

Therefore anyone with schizophrenia who wants to supplement their diet with omega 3 oil must purchase fish oil capsules that are high in EPA. Make sure at point of purchase that the capsules are free of toxins and contaminates and that they also have a high EPA to DHA ratio, as these types of capsules were found to be more effective by some leading doctors in the UK.

What’s KRILL OIL ?

Krill is shrimp-like crustaceans that are roughly one to six centimetres long. They inhabit in the sea, where they feed primarily on phytoplankton. They’re close to the lowest level of the food chain and are devoured by whales, seals, penguins, squid and fish.

Krill oil, the oil that’s discovered naturally in krill, is taken out and sold as a wellness supplement. It’s marketed in many and wellness food shops and online in capsulate form.

Krill oil contains omega-3 fatty acids, which is the main reason it’s becoming popular as a nutritional supplement.

Another rationale why krill oil is getting recognised is because it carries an antioxidant known as astaxanthin. The algae that krill eat produces the brilliant red pigment astaxanthin that causes krill and many other crustaceans e.g. lobster and shrimp their reddish-pink color.
Unlike many other antioxidants, astaxanthin goes over the blood-brain barrier, where it could in theory protect the eye, brain and central nervous system from free radical harm.

Krill oil contains vitamin E, vitamin A, vitamin D and canthaxanthin, which is, like astaxanthin, a powerful anti-oxidant. The anti-oxidant effectiveness of krill oil is such that when likened to fish oil in terms of ORAC (Oxygen radical absorptance capacity) values it was determined to be fourty eight times more potent than fish oil.
The astaxanthin found in krill oil supplies excellent protection against ultravoilet light and UV-induced skin harm.

A number of studies have shown that krill oil is tremendously effective in reducing LDL-cholesterol, maximising HDL-cholesterol, and bringing down blood sugar. It has been shown to be efficient in treating the pain and inflammation from rheumatoid arthritis and aches and pains as a whole. One large study showed that krill oil has tremendous benefits in terms of symptom reduction in PMS and dysmenorrhea. And it has been shown to be effective in the treatment of adult ADHD. In all these studies krill oil was tested against fish oil and not just a placebo.

Due to the speedy absorption of krill oil and the high anti-oxidant content there is literally never the fishy burping and aftertaste occassionally experienced with fish oil. And there are no other side effects to speak of. Until the jury is in, I would be careful in taking krill oil if I had a shrimp allergy.

The Antioxidant Potency of Krill Oil is 48 Times Higher than Fish Oil.

Antioxidants are your body’s principal method to weaken free radicals — those harmful metabolic by-products that damage cells and tissues throughout your body.
They also seem to play a role in aiding to slow your signs of aging.

So when you consider that the anti-oxidant potency of krill oil is 48 times more potent than fish oil, well, choosing between the two is easy.

If you’re still not convinced of the antioxidant powers to krill oil, independent ORAC evaluations have also established that genuine Neptune krill oil contains:
· Over 300 times the antioxidant strength of vitamin A and vitamin E

Pretty impressive, wouldn’t you say?

To top it all off, krill oil also contains astaxanthin – a unique marine-source flavonoid – that makes a special bond with the EPA and DHA, which allows direct metabolism of the antioxidants, making them more bioavailable.
