Beer Protects the Brain, Study Claims

Drinking two pints of beer a day cuts Alzheimer’s risk - but six can cause it.

QUAFFING a couple of pints of beer a day boosts the brain and cuts the risk of getting Alzheimer’s, a study claims.

Scientists say a small daily tipple reduces brain inflammation and flushes out harmful toxins. Read more

The Great Brain Enhancer: Colloidal Gold

You may never have heard of colloidal gold, but Michael Ravensthorpe says that it improves our mental faculties and rejuvenates our bodies.

Many people know about colloidal silver and its proven germicidal and antibacterial properties. Colloidal gold, on the other hand, is not quite as well-known. This is unfortunate, since this clear, tasteless colloid – which is made from tiny gold particles suspended in water – provides us with similarly impressive health benefits. Whereas colloidal silver cleanses our bodies of microbes and bacteria, however, colloidal gold has a different purpose: it improves our mental faculties and rejuvenates our bodies. Read more

How to Keep Your Brain from Shrinking

Dr. Joseph Mercola reveals how to rejuvenate and regenerate your brain as you age.

Scientists have linked physical exercise to brain health for many years.

In fact, there’s compelling evidence that physical exercise helps build a brain that not only resists shrinkage but increases cognitive abilities1 by promoting neurogenesis, i.e. your brain’s ability to adapt and grow new brain cells.

In essence, physical activity produces biochemical changes that strengthen and renew not only your body but also your brain — particularly areas associated with memory and learning.

The converse is also true. Researchers have shown a sedentary lifestyle correlates to brain shrinkage, which increases your risk of memory loss and other cognitive problems.

Orgasm Better for Brain Than Crosswords or Sudoku

Orgasms could be better for our brains than doing a crossword or a Sudoku puzzle, an academic has claimed.

The sexual climax gives the whole brain a good workout, rather than just one area of it, Professor Barry Komisaruk said.

The sensation can, moreover, block pain and could therefore be used to alleviate the agony of childbirth, among other things, he suggested. Read more

Another Reason to Eat Berries

A new study has found that berries benefit the brain by clearing the accumulation of toxic proteins.

Berries could play an important role in clearing the accumulation of toxic proteins in the brain, according to a new study in mice.

The research, presented at the Experimental Biology 2013 meeting, showed that the brains of rats that consumed berries for two months were better protected against radiation, which is meant to induce accelerated aging in the mice. Read more

6 Ways To Fix a Foggy Memory

Joseph Mercola gives six ways to keep your brain sharp as a tack.

... So-called "senior moments" happen to all of us … even those who are far from reaching their golden years. You forget where you parked your car, misplace your keys, forget the name of someone you met last week – all of these scenarios are part of life, and they're completely normal.

That said, your brain should not feel foggy all the time, nor should you be experiencing episodes of forgetfulness that are so severe they interfere with your ability to function normally.

I've often said that memory loss is not at all a "normal part of aging," and if you're feeling like your mind is truly slipping, it could be a sign of a more serious problem. Read more
