Clinically Studied Nutrients for Healthy Brain Function Dietary Supplement Brain & Memory Support Action Plan Many individuals expect age-related deterioration of essential brain functions: thinking, reasoning, memory, imagining, learning, attention and concentration. This need not be true. With proper nutrition, exercise, cognitive stimulation and other healthy lifestyle choices, sharp brain function can be a lifetime benefit. Dietary In addition to taking Futurebiotics ThinkFast®, a healthy brain-boosting diet should include a variety of fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Also include lean meats, fish and low-fat dairy. Limit red meat. Use sugar and salt in moderation; limit processed foods and fats. Take a complete multi-vitamin every day and include an Omega-3 supplement. Increase your intake of folic acid as studies have shown it may slow mental aging. Physical Activity Experts agree that 30 minutes of daily exercise contributes to healthy brain function. Mix things up. Recent studies suggest that variety in exercise activities may be protective to mental health. Complementary Therapies Brain cells respond to stimulation - so use it or lose it. If you don't stimulate and use your brain, it will atrophy. Learn new skills; alleviate boredom. Reading and memorization are particularly helpful. Meet new people and learn new things. Stay active both physically and emotionally. Volunteer work is a fun way to keep active. Psychological health is important to optimal brain function. Maintain close relationships with family and friends Do's and Don'ts Stimulating all your senses will help stimulate your brain. Include activities that stimulate hearing, vision, touch, smell and taste, and motor skills. To increase focus and memory, minimize noise and distractions. Smoking contributes to blood vessel damage in the brain. Limit your exposure to second-hand smoke, too. Alcohol has a damaging effect on the brain and memory.
