Brain Boosting Supplements Recent research has found some amazing new breakthrough nutritional supplements for enhanced healing after a stroke. Brain cells die with age, but a stroke increases the rate of brain cell die off. New discoveries have been made that show that some supplements can prevent brain cell die off and slow down aging in the brain.Some supplements safely increase oxygen to brain cells which "wakes them up" to take over the function of lost brain cells. More oxygen on the brain also prevents brain cell die off. Others strengthen the cell wall integrity of brain cells to prevent them from weakening and dying off after the stroke. A damaged brain has fewer neurotransmitters. Some new supplements safely increase the number and strength of neurotransmitters without having a stimulating effect to help mental functioning and restore short-term memory and attention.
Let's Get the Fats Straight! What is causing so many strokes in otherwise healthy people? Could it be the wide-spread misinformation and misuse of fats and oils in our diet? This reseach proves it is a major factor. Everyone should be aware of the truth about the "good" and the "bad" fats. Find out which ones heal and which ones harm. Simple changes can have lasting benefits.
Special Exercises New research has shown that exercise is the number one factor in having a brain that has more "plasticity". Plasticity means the brain can change and learn new skills and information readily. Stroke recovery, and particularly speech recovery requires a brain that can relearn, and reassign functions to new areas of the brain. Yet exercise is problematic for most stroke survivors. These exercises will help!
