Oxygen free radicals released in our bodies also destroy proteins that are essential constituents of body, regulate our hormones and enzymes and compose our nerves, muscles, skin and hair. In other words, those wrinkles that we fear are also dirty work of oxygen free radicals. Created by both internal consumption of processed foods and external use of chemical laden products on our body.

Antioxidants can protect against free radical damage in body. In fact, unusually low levels of such antioxidants are linked to an increased risk of damaged cell growths and heart problems. As a result it is believed that taking antioxidant vitamin supplements that "scavenge" free radicals can potentially decrease this risk.

Are you practicing prevention? Prevention is always better than spending thousands of dollars and ill health after fact! Daily prevention includes taking a quality liquid, powder or capsule antioxidant compound twice daily or pick up each individual antioxidant form.

Antioxidants are Selenium, Vitamin A, Vitamin E and Beta-Carotene. These are found in small amounts in fruits and vegetables of which we are unable to get in sufficient quantities in our fruits and vegetables to keep our immune systems tuned up and keep us as well as we can be, according to Congressional study done in 1936.

"Without your health you are nothing," is a phrase often repeated to me by patients over years and I believe them. You should too! So I wish you good health and success in all things.

Has that come to pass or what? We are a society of big stomachs. Obesity is rampant and you thought it was your entire fault. So even if you eat very best food available there still is a chance you would not be nourishing your brain and body like you should. I am not telling you this to depress you but to inform you - I also hope to make you act - so that you may make some right decisions for your brain's necessary nutrients. I take supplements daily to prevent that from happening to me and being 63 years old my brain seems to be functioning very well but wasn't a few years ago, prior to taking mineral & vitamin supplements.

The older you get more malnourished you will be and it will become more noticeable. Malnourishment comes on slow and most times it isn't detected. Some people become very ill early in life, which makes it very possible that malnourishment is being passed from parent to child! Why do you think that all Alzheimer's and senile dementia is diagnosed these days so much more than 30 or 50 years ago?

One of very first things on list to do for yourself and your brain is make sure you are getting good quality digestible liquid minerals and vitamins! "With taking them I have noticed a big improvement in my whole well being" Whipped Chronic Fatigue Syndrome right out of my system and controlling chronic anemia along with 25 years of fibromyalgia.

Here is a LITTLE KNOWN SECRET The 1999 Physician's Desk Reference (page 1542) shows that vitamins and minerals in a PILL form are only 10% to 20% absorbed by body. DID YOU KNOW? That in 1998 Tacoma Washington alone, 250,000 pounds of undigested vitamin and mineral pills were pulled out of sewers every six weeks. In Salt Lake City, over 150 gallons of vitamin and mineral pills show up in their filters every month and numerous other cities sewer systems. The reason; high metallic content of these pills. Metallic minerals like oyster shells, carbonates, oxides and dolomites have consistency of crushed up rocks, which our bodies were not designed to digest. So even if you are taking vitamins and minerals how sure are you that you are absorbing sufficient amounts? The only way to know absolutely is to make sure they are capsules, liquid or powder.

You hear about this herb or that herb being brain food, so to speak, but there are numerous ones Chinese have used for centuries that are not commonly talked about or even know about and when taken together create a healthier more defined brain. I am a believer of covering all bases.

Dateline 10/21/99: for almost one hundred years, it has been a mantra of biology - brain cells do not regenerate. In a startling discovery that could have profound implications for treating brain disorders and injuries, researchers at Princeton University have discovered that new neurons are continually being added to brains of adult monkeys.

The neurons are added to cerebral cortex of brain. The cerebral cortex is most complex part of brain and scientists were startled to find neuron formation in this "high" brain area. The cerebral cortex is responsible for higher level decision making and learning. The researchers found formation of new nerve cells; a process called neurogenesis, in three areas of cerebral cortex: ·Prefrontal region which controls decision-making. ·Inferior temporal region which plays a role in visual recognition. ·Posterior parietal region which plays a role in 3D representation.

The researchers believe that these results call for a fundamental reassessment of development of primate brain. For almost a century, scientists have believed that primate brains do not regenerate or add new neurons after maturity. It was a fundamental tenet of neuroscience that brain could not repair itself or grow new cells. In recent years, scientists have begun to chip away at dogma as previous research has shown that other areas of brain such as hippocampus add new neurons. Many researchers believed that these previous results were anomalies or were confined to "lower" parts of brain. These results are even more startling since they occur in most advanced part of brain.

Researchers are optimistic that with further study scientists might one day unlock key to this process of brain cell growth and use knowledge to treat a variety of brain disorders and diseases.

What do you think? How might this discovery impact our ability to treat Brain injuries? How do you think that neuronal generation may differ in humans?

It is believed that similar processes occur in humans since monkeys and humans have very similar brain structures. Would you like to engage in rebuilding lost brainpower?

Compare following mineral nutrients to three in manmade fertilizers! How many are missing? The only place left to find all these minerals is ocean and that could be in danger due to pollution!

Magnesium, Chloride, Sodium, Potassium, Sulfate, Calcium, Bicarbonate, Chromium, Bromide, Nitrogen, Iodine, Rubidium, Zinc, Copper, Strontium, Silicon, Manganese, Boron, Scandium, Phosphorus, Molybdenum, Cesium, Gold, Silver, Vanadium, Dysprosium, Nickel, Fluoride, Cobalt, Titanium, Barium, Erbium, Yttrium. Holmium, Neodymium, ytterbium, Bismuth, Terbium, Lutetium, Samarium, Europium, Selenium, Beryllium, and other trace minerals too numerous to print here but a total of 84 in all.

Remember, feed your brain or lose brainpower you were born with!
