BRAIN HEALTH TIP : Remove the Brain Toxin MSG

Posted inFood & Health

Eliminate the food additive that excites brain and nerve cells until they die.
MSG by any other name would still be as harmful. When most people hear the name
monosodium glutamate, or MSG, they immediately think of Chinese food. And while the
chemical is used in many Chinese food restaurants, this brain and nervous system toxin
masquerades under many different guises and even within many food additives.
Considering that MSG has been linked to many serious health conditions, including hormonal
imbalances, weight gain, brain damage , obesity, headaches, and more, you may be shocked to
learn how prevalent it is. MSG is almost always found in processed, prepared, and packaged
foods. Even when there is no sign of it on the label, it is still frequently hidden in many prepared
foods.

Ending the era of dirty textiles

Posted inLifestyle

Sustainability has gained a lot of traction in the textile industry over the last few years. Purchase decisions are no longer only made on the basis of fashion and comfort. Consumers are increasingly demanding more eco-friendly textiles.

However, it is difficult for them to make well-informed choices. What exactly should one do when it comes to the use of natural resources such as water and land, production methods, emissions and the overall impact on the environment?

Many consumers don’t even know what the garments they wear are made from. They are not aware that synthetic fibres comprise two-thirds of the global fibre market of approximately 100 million tonnes of virgin fibres used in textiles, hygienic and cosmetic products. Most of the fibres such as polyester and polyamide originate from crude oil. Parts of these “plastic” fibres washed out in households or industrial cleaners turn up as microplastics in the oceans and harm fish and human beings. A large portion of the used clothing ends up in landfills or is incinerated.

BRAIN HEALTH TIP : Replace Trans Fats with Brain-Healthy Choices

Posted inFood & Health

Switch from fats that cause brain inflammation to ones that protect your brain from damage.
Trans fats are harmful to every cell in your body, and especially to your brain. They do not
occur naturally, but rather are made in laboratories and manufacturing plants in which these oils
are heavily processed. This processing involves adding hydrogen atoms to a healthy fat to
saturate the fat molecule, thereby turning unsaturated oil into saturated oil. The result is a
hydrogenated fat, or trans fat—a type of fat that your body was never intended to ingest or
digest. These fats are industrial creations made to extend the shelf life of fats without regard for
the effect on human health. Even a few generations ago our ancestors were never exposed to
these brain toxins.

Insatiability

What do we take with us when we die? Do we take the grades we achieved while in schools and universities, the success we obtained in our workplace, the awards we got for excellence? Do our heavy pockets go with us? Do our memories follow us to the grave? Do our loved ones stay beside our grave for long?

Eat Your Way to Brain Health

The research is clear: What you eat has a big impact on your brain. In fact, the right foods — and combinations of foods — can enhance memory, build new brain cells and even help ward off Alzheimer’s.

Scientists are increasingly examining whole food groups — and diets — to determine which ones contribute to better cognition and which seem to hinder it. They’ve found that certain eating plans — including the Mediterranean diet , the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet and a hybrid of the two, dubbed the MIND diet — can help stave off cognitive decline and protect the brain against disease. The MIND diet, developed by researchers at Rush University in Chicago, slashed the risk of developing Alzheimer’s by as much as 53 percent. (MIND stands for Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay.) Even those who followed the diet moderately had a 35 percent lower risk of Alzheimer’s
