BRAIN HEALTH...Did You Know...An estimated 5.2 million Americans have Alzheimers disease in 2014, including approximately 200,000 individuals younger than age 65 who have younger-onset Alzheimers. Almost two-thirds of American seniors living with Alzheimers are women. By 2050, the number of people with Alzheimers disease may nearly triple, from 5 million to as many as 16 million. Young Living just released a new product earlier this year called MindWise. It is an advanced brain health supplement formulated to support normal memory function and overall cognitive health. MindWise contains CoQ10 enzyme which is an amazing antioxidant and enzyme required by the brain. It has protective and regenerative qualities, supports healthy cardiovascular and brain function and more. Sacha Inchi Nut contains a very high proportion of unsaturated fatty acids and omega-3 fatty acids (α-Linoleic acid). This is combined with ALCAR, GPC and Vitamin D3, ingredients that have been studied for their support of normal brain function. With a unique, quick-absorption emulsion delivery system and generous amounts of vitamin D3, MindWise is a premium supplement that supports improved memory function and overall cognitive health. Essential oils that can also help support brain health include: Pepper, Grapefruit, and Fennel oils have been found to stimulate brain activity. Peppermint oil has been helpful in protecting against stresses and toxins in brain cells, and improves mental concentration and memory. A study done at the University of Cincinnati showed that inhaling Peppermint increased mental accuracy by 28 percent. The fragrance of diffused oils such as Lemon have also been reported to increase memory retention and recall. Essential oils high in sesquiterpenes such as Vetiver, Cedarwood, Patchouli, German Chamomile, Myrrh, Melissa and Sandalwood are known to cross the blood-brain barrier. Frankincense is a general cerebral stimulant. Helichrysum supports neurotransmitter activity and has shown the possibility of chelating aluminum. Nutmeg is a general cerebral stimulant and has adrenal cortex-like activity. Rosemary has been shown to increase prospective memory by up to 75%! (Thank you Michelle McCullough!)
