Dear Living Well Daily Reader,
Who doesn’t love a 2-for-1 deal?
Whether you’re stocking up on essentials or treating yourself to some new clothes, it’s hard not to get a rush from a deal!
And while buy one get one free is great at a store, it’s even better when it comes to your health.
Especially if it can be used to defeat one of the worst diseases seniors face: Alzheimer’s disease.
A recent study has shown that a 2-for-1 nutrient can DEFEAT Alzheimer’s disease and give you an amazing night’s sleep… all for pennies a day!
If you’re one of the millions of people already taking melatonin for better sleep you could be saving your memory at the same time!
Researchers at Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) found that taking melatonin doesn’t just help with sleep issues. It also BOOSTS your memory!
You see, melatonin breaks down into a memory-boosting metabolite called N1-acetyl-5-methoxykynuramine (AMK).
To test its powers, the researchers showed an object to mice to create a new memory. Then, they gave one group AMK, one group a different metabolite, and one melatonin.
After one hour, they tested the mice’s memory and found that the AMK group had the best recall.
Even better? AMK produced the best results in older mice! A finding that leads researchers to believe that melatonin could work wonders for folks with Alzheimer’s and other memory issues.
Melatonin works because its metabolites – like AMK – boost your hippocampus, the part of your brain responsible for recall and learning.
You can boost your AMK levels – and improve your sleep – by using a melatonin supplement. Just talk to your doc before taking one.
If you want to give your brain an extra boost, try the following.
Dr. Scott’s Brain-Boosting Program:
- Increase protein. Believe it or not, protein is your brain’s best friend. It helps create new neurotransmitters (your brain’s messengers) which are vital for a sharp memory.
- Eat good fats. The human brain is nearly 60 percent fat. Essential fatty acids like the omega-3s found in fish oil are essential for proper brain function.
- Stock up on B vitamins. Every function in your brain requires B vitamins, but it’s hard to get enough from diet alone. Look for a quality B supplement.
