3 nutrients for a sharp, ageless brain

For decades mainstream medicine told us that dying neurons are the problem with an aging brain. But the difference between an old brain and a sharp, young brain isn’t just neurons… You see, mental function depends on two kinds of brain cells. Neurons are just half the story. In fact, when scientists studied Albert Einstein’s brain they found he had a wealth of “other” brain cells that accounted for his genius.  I’m talking about “glia,” or “glial” brain cells. Scientists have known about glial cells for a long time. But they thought they were just support for the neurons that did the real work of “thinking.”  Research now shows that glial cells do a lot more. These brain cells stimulate and fine tune the actions of your neurons. This gives you a faster, more accurate brain. You get less fogginess and better concentration. For example, if you were missing a kind of glial cell called oligodendrocytes, messages would travel through your brain 30 timers slower! Other glial cells clear out toxic waste from your brain every night.1 While you sleep, neurons shrink by as much as 60%. The glia clear the area around the shrunken neurons and open up channels. It’s like a cleaning crew moving the furniture out of the way before mopping up.  Cerebrospinal fluid around the outside of the brain then has room to flow through these channels.  It washes your brain out. It rinses out toxic protein...
