Memory Supplement Formulas Can Protect Both Body and Mind

Using Memory Supplement Formulas – Protect The Body Now To Protect The Brain From Memory Loss Later

We are all aware of the dangers of hypertension and that high blood pressure puts an incredible strain on the heart. Recent European  research however has found that abnormally high hypertension can also have negative effects on the brain and many of the  unhealthy habits we have on a daily basis  can actually harm brain development and overall brain performance but that this hypertension can be reduced by using effective memory supplement  formulas with other strategies to reduce stress.

Many people think that memory loss is a natural and unavoidable part of ageing and wouldnt consider taking any kind of memory supplement but this recent research shows that un healthy life style choices that lead to high blood pressure can also severely increase the severity of this loss of memory while making it more likely earlier on in life.

French researchers tracked thousands of adult volunteers in a 10 year study and have found that those who had typical cardio vascular risk factors like high blood pressure or high levels of cholesterol were more likely to lose their memory earlier and at a faster rate.

This study comes on the back of a seperate small animals resaerch project (which i talked about in my blog entry of April 18th 2011) conducted in Scotland which made the connection between stress and memory loss.

The exact link between hypertension and loss of memory is not clear but cardiologists are no surprised and attribute this connection to an inflammation or irritation of the lining of many of the arteries to the heart and to the head.

The French researchers estimate high cholesterol and high blood pressure,   smoking or being overweight gave an  individual a 20% chance of suffering memory loss over time  and while this may not seem a large percentage and worth the risk , but imagine if it really happens to you or someone close to you ,how would you cope . then it becomes significant and life changing. The problem is likely to grow with the ageing baby boomer population which means we must learn to take care of the body now to protect the brain for later.

The advice is surprisingly simple:

• Don’t smoke
• Drink alcohol in moderation -stay within recommended guidelines
• Stay at a healthy weight
• Cut out sugar
• Try to eat less processed food
• Augment your diet with appropriate memory vitamins found in reputable memory supplement formulas
• Exercise often and with gusto
• Take the correct memory supplement preferably one containing Acetyl L Carnatine and L-Methionine
• Eat vegetables and fruit that contain known memory vitamins like B3 B5 and Folic Acid (B9) .

The worrying trend is that only three in every one hundred individuals actually follow this very simple advice and use a memory supplement regularly and in light of these recent research studies this can mean a growing population suffering from dementia earlier.
