Memory loss can begin as early as mid thirties

 

Memory loss may be considered as part of the aging process which can begin as early as the mid-thirties.

The good news is that research shows that with the right combination of brain-boosting nutrients, you can make significant improvements to cognitive function and reduce your risk of age-related mental decline.

Unfortunately modern food farming does not provide the quality and amount of nutrients that you require. We also know that by eating too much fish you may be ingesting unwanted toxins found in our polluted seas.

It is important therefore to choose the right supplements with high quality ingredients which will protect you and enhance your memory.

We have sourced the market for the best quality nutritional supplements recommended by top Naturopaths and Nutritionists which will ensure your brain is receiving optimal nourishment.

Except an emotional upset like loosing a loved one, loss of a job, financial worries etc. there are also organic factors that may contribute to depression;  nutrient deficiencies, medication, recreational drugs, alcohol, nicotine, hormonal imbalances, allergies, heavy metal toxicity and other toxins which you are exposed to on a daily basis.

The role of supplements

The Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids play a crucial role in the function of brain chemicals specially Serotonin and Dopamine responsible for our mood. A number of trials have shown that patients suffering from depression or bipolar disorder can benefit from supplementing with omega 3 fish oils. This is why the American Psychiatric Association has recommended at least 1g/day of Omega 3 fish oils in addition to standard treatment.

A new report in the Archives of General Psychiatry has shown that the traditional Mediterranean style diet is associated with lower risk of developing depression.

A Mediterranean style diet consists of important vitamins and minerals as well as poly unsaturated fats and phytochemicals. These can be found in Vegetables, fruits, fish, pulses, nuts and seeds and olive oil.

 

A good quality multi vitamin and mineral supplement as well as fish oils free from contaminants such as PCBs and Mercury should be taken alongside a good diet to insure optimum intake of these key nutrients, which will help in the prevention and the dietary management of depression. We therefore recommend the following:
