We all want to stay sharp as a tack as we age.
That way you can still play golf … or go ice skating this time of year. Belt out Christmas carols without missing a line… and even beat your grandson at cards.
But what if I told you that staying sharp and active in your golden years came down to just one thing?
Well, it does.
It’s a special type of tissue in your brain … and you lose it as you age.
And it’s this loss that leads to the memory, speech, and mobility problems you fear the most.
Fortunately, there is a way to KEEP your gray matter.
And you won’t believe how EASY it is.
Gray matter is dense in areas of the brain responsible for controlling muscle movement, cognitive functions, memory and speech.
The more gray matter you have… the sharper your mind and muscles.
Unfortunately, scientists have found that gray matter starts to decrease in middle age. And it’s all but GONE in people who are suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and memory loss.
But according to a new study, published in the Journal of Gerontology, there is a way to KEEP your gray matter… no matter what your age or condition.
I’m talking about EXERCISE!
Now, don’t worry. The people in this study didn’t go to the gym.
Instead, they did daily chores.
Things like cleaning the house, mowing the lawn, and walking to the made a HUGE DIFFERENCE in the gray matter gray matter density… especially in folks 70-years-old or older.
Exercise is best, but there are other ways to preserve your gray matter, too.
Dr. Scott’s Gray Matter Protection Plan:
- Creatine is an amino acid that is good for the brain and helps support energy production.
- Omega 3 fish oil is an essential fatty acid your brain needs to support its function and protect against oxidation.
- CoQ10 is powerful antioxidant and helps to provide energy throughout the body.
- Herbs such as curcumin and bacopa work to decrease brain inflammation and act as powerful antioxidants.
- Mitochondrial Support the energy-producing cells in our bodies (mitochondria) need certain nutrients (CoQ10, Alpha lipoic acid, astaxanthin, selenium, Vitamin E) to keep our brains working well throughout our lives.
P.S. Another thing that slows your brain down? Waste. When your brain gets clogged up with GUNK, it makes it harder to think clearer and sharper.
