Three steps to a healthy brain

	Brain Detoxification Eliminate environmental toxins and poisons (Mercury, Lead, Arsenic, etc.) with chelating agents
	Brain Nutrition Protect and strengthen brain tissue with essential nutrients and antioxidants
	Brain Food Learn which foods contribute to brain health and which foods don't

Brain Detoxification | Natural Chelating Agents

"Prevention is preferable to cure"
(Excerpt from the Hippocratic Oath)

A discussion of brain food and brain nutrition must start with a word about the increasingly common environmental toxins that make their way into our bodies and brain tissue. Brain foods and brain nutrients can only do so much when the toxic environment is destroying healthy tissue and limiting our ability to maintain a healthy brain.

Zortho's ZeSol™ and StressDefense™ naturally extract and eliminate environmental toxins including heavy metals such as Mercury, Tin, Lead, Aluminum, Cadmium, and Arsenic. Zortho's dietary supplements detoxify safely even for highly sensitive people and children. Using microporous minerals (Zeolite, ClearEarth, Humic acid) ZeSol™ and StressDefense™ absorb, neutralize and eliminate neurotoxins and cytotoxins. Unlike pharmaceutical chelators, Zortho's dietary supplements include a broad range of trace minerals to naturally boost mineral levels as they expel the environmental toxins and reestablish a healthy balance in the body's immune and endocrine systems.

Zortho manufactures ZeSol™ using a chemical free, low-heat technology (the only such method of its kind). For its nutrient dense plant extract Zortho uses a bioactive intracellular carrier (plant-derived Humic acid) that has been shown by Independent research to eliminate even deeply embedded environmental toxins.

A negatively charged, ionic liquid, ZeSol™ is mild tasting and easy to use. Learn more about Zortho's ZeSol™ and StressDefense™; order today and begin turning back the harmful effects of the ubiquitous environmental toxins that otherwise prevent us from maintaining a healthy brain.

Brain Nutrients | Natural Supplements And Anti-oxidants

Effective brain nutrition can make the difference between a highly functioning, healthy brain and a poorly functioning, unhealthy brain. Without effective brain nutrition a significant loss of brain function over time is inevitable. "You might say that we're actually rusting on the inside," says Wic Wildering, (University of Calgary). "Free radicals actually cause damage inside nerve cells, and the accumulation of this damage eventually leads to learning and memory dysfunction and other kinds of neurological impairments."

Oxidative stress Energy-making brain units, called mitochondria, convert glucose (from food) and oxygen into energy. About 2% of the time the process inadvertently creates superoxide molecules, free radicals, that damage neighboring molecules. The affected brain cells can sometimes repair themselves, but damage to a DNA molecule leads to a growing number of errors as the DNA replicates. And damage to mitochondria increases free radical production, accelerating the oxidative stress.

To help ensure a healthy brain, Zortho combines its ZeSol chelating supplement with Dihydroquercetin (DHQ), a bioflavonoid from certain larch and fir trees. A super-nutrient and a highly effective means of delivering optimal brain nutrition, DHQ flavanoids function like vitamins, strengthening capillaries and dramatically boosting the activity of other vitamins. DHQ prolongs the protective and nutritive benefits from network antioxidants such as CoQ10, Alpha Lipoic Acid and Vitamins C, D and E. Zortho's DHQ brain nutrition has been shown to produce anti-oxidant benefits up to 100 times greater than those of the Goji or Acai berry. Used in conjunction with other vitamins, DHQ brain nutrients help ensure a healthy brain by providing protection against the tissue-damaging effects of toxic chemicals and heavy metals.

Brain Foods | The Dos and Donts of Eating for a Healthy Brain

Brain Foods | Top Ten Edibles for The Brain

The 10 best brain fitness foods are:

Brain Fitness Food #1: Beets

Scientists at Wake Forest University found that natural nitrates in beets can increase blood flow to the brain, thereby improving mental performance.

Brain Fitness Food #2: Sage

Sage contains compounds that prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in learning and memory. A study published in Pharmacological Biochemical Behavior showed that young adults who took sage-oil extract (50 micro liters) before cognitive tests performed better than those given a placebo.

Brain Fitness Food #3: Beef

As published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition women with healthy iron levels performed better on mental tasks and completed them faster than those with poor iron status. Iron helps transport oxygen throughout the body and to the brain.

Brain Fitness Food #4: Sardines

Rich with EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids sardines facilitate communication among brain cells and help regulate neurotransmitters responsible for mental focus.

Brain Fitness Food #5: Egg Yolks

Egg yolks are a key source of choline which the body uses to produce acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in memory formation. Eating protein-rich foods like eggs for breakfast can improve overall cognitive performance, according to Swiss researchers.

Brain Fitness Food #6: Oats

Since our bodies break down the carbohydrates in whole-grain oats very slowly, oats help keep glucose levels high for several hours rather than providing a rush and crash like more readily available carbs found in refined sugars, potatoes and wheat.

Brain Fitness Food #7: Lentils

Lentils are rich in folate, a B vitamin shown to help boost brain power. Folate also plays a role in decreasing levels of amino acids that can impair brain functioning.

Brain Fitness Food #8: Ground Flaxseed

Flax is the best source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)—a healthy fat that improves the workings of the cerebral cortex, the area of the brain that processes sensory information like touch and taste.

Brain Fitness Food #9: Walnuts

Scientists at Tufts University in Boston found that a diet rich in walnuts may improve mental performance. Walnuts have high levels of antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids.

Brain Fitness Food #10: Spinach and Other Vegetables

Harvard Medical School researchers found that women who ate the most vegetables—especially green leafy vegetables (spinach and romaine lettuce) and cruciferous vegetables (broccoli and cauliflower)—experienced a slower rate of cognitive decline than women who ate the fewer vegetables.

Brain Food, Mood, Brain Fitness & Neurogenesis

Toxins and other harmful stressors can damage our brain's Leptin receptors causing Leptin resistance. Leptin resistance is bad.

New research shows that Leptin has a tremendous impact on brain functioning and brain health. Leptin is essential to neurogenesis and the regulation a compound that accumulates in the brains of people with Alzheimer's! A well-functioning Leptin system improves brain fitness, mental sharpness, leads to better memory, and enhances mood. You can take supplements to remove toxins from the body and protect your leptin regulators!

To balance your leptin levels naturally:

Decrease sugar and grain consumption: sugar, high fructose corn syrup and heavy doses of grains, such as wheat, oats, rice, and starchy vegetables, will increase leptin resistance.
Steer clear of trans-fats.
Eat plenty of non-starchy vegetables and healthy fats, such as avocados, extra-virgin coconut and olive oils, grass-fed meat, free-range eggs, almonds, Brazil nuts, pecans, walnuts, and hemp, flax and chia seeds.
Do high-intensity exercise for short stints. This will stimulate large secretions of human growth hormone, which boost fat-burning mechanisms and help to regulate leptin levels.
Get a good night's sleep. Leptin levels typically rise during sleep.

Brain Food | Magnesium On The Brain

"Magnesium is essential for the proper functioning of many tissues in the body, including the brain," explains Dr. Liu. "We found that increased brain magnesium enhanced many different forms of learning and memory." Liu's team also saw increases in the number of synapses, activation of key signaling molecules and an enhancement of short- and long-term the synaptic processes critical to learning and memory.

Brazil Nuts and Chocolate are the top Magnesium foods groups, but you need to eat a lot of them to produce magnesium levels required for brain food benefits.

Brain Food | Diet And Brain Power

New research indicates that particular foods can influence neurogenesis, leading to new brain cells. What brain foods? Polyunsaturated fatty acids from vegetables such as corn, soybeans, sunflowers and pumpkins as well as blue fish, and polyphenols found in tea, grapes, wine, olive oil, cocoa, nuts and other fruits and vegetables.
