Can You Protect Your Brain With the Foods You Eat? Let's Find Out!



Neuroprotective foods are foods that protect the brain from damage and degeneration. These neuroprotective foods help prevent the development of degenerative brain diseases such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Multiple Sclerosis, Huntington’s disease, and Dementia. These foods also improve intellectual performance and mental stability. They also protect the brain’s neurons against free radicals, and they stop the aging of the brain.

Let’s look at some of these neuroprotectors.

1. Garlic. Yes, garlic. Garlic offers several brain benefits. Garlic supports cognitive function, and it protects against age-related memory loss and neurodegenerative diseases. Aged garlic extract is particularly known for its neuroprotective effects.

2. Blueberries. These delicious little berries are high in flavonoids which have antioxidants and neuroprotective properties. Blueberries are the fruit that protects neurons most. Blueberries protect the brain and improve mental performance.

3. Sesame seeds. In addition to providing calcium, iron, and other minerals, sesame is known to be an effective neuroprotector and antioxidant. The seeds and its oil are good for improving blood flow to the brain.

Keep your brain healthy by eating plenty of neuroprotective foods, by healthy lifestyle habits such as breathing in fresh air daily, doing deep breathing exercise, going for walks or doing any kind of mild physical activity, drinking enough water, and getting enough rest.

“Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.” 2 Thessalonians 3:16

“The brain directs all bodily functions. By taking care of the brain and meeting its needs, the health of the rest of the organs and body parts is promoted.

~ Dr. George Pamplona-Roger

The way it works is by neutralizing free radicals and preventing them from damaging cells and tissues. It also helps reduce inflammation by inhibiting the production of inflammatory molecules. That’s amazing! This compound also helps lower blood pressure and improve blood vessel function. In the area of brain health, quercetin protect brain cells from damage and improve cognitive function. In the area of cancer, studies have shown the anti-cancer properties of quercetin. This bioflavonoid is a true powerhouse exhibiting anticancer activity by inhibiting cancer cell proliferation, promoting apoptosis, which is programmed cell death, and reducing metastasis, the proliferation of cancer. Quercetin also has anti-angiogenic effects, meaning, it can inhibit the formation of new blood vessels which cancer cells need to grow and ...

The Liver: Your Body's Detox Engine

Image
The liver is the largest internal organ, and it does a lot. Here is an excerpt of what the liver does from the book: Chris Beat Cancer by Chris Wark: “Your liver is your body’s detoxification engine and a critical component of your immune system. It processes nearly every toxin that enters your body. An overburdened, sick liver can lead to a toxic body, weakened immune system, and an environment where cancer cells can thrive. So, it makes sense to reduce the workload on your liver and the rest of your body by reducing or eliminating your exposure to unnecessary toxins. The overwhelming awareness of how much potentially toxic stuff is around you may induce some anxiety and paranoia at first, but don’t let fear take over and paralyze you; just make a to-do list and start cleaning up your life. The goal is to reduce your toxic load, and every little bit helps.” God designed the body to always detoxify. When you urinate, defecate, and perspire, your body detoxifies. Eliminating or reducing...

Where Do You Really Belong? Try this place!

  In the headlines, legal battles rage over birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants—an issue stirring deep divisions in the courts and across kitchen tables nationwide. Some argue for tradition, others for reform. But beneath the noise lies a quieter question few dare to ask: What really makes someone a citizen?   Well, what do you think about types of citizenship?  You see... ...we wrestle with laws written in ink, interpreted by judges, and debated by talking heads. We wonder what it means to belong—who is in, who is out, and who decides. But what if we’ve been asking the wrong citizenship question all along? There’s another kind of citizenship. One that doesn’t depend on where you were born or what documents you carry. One not granted by government, but offered by grace. “But our citizenship is in heaven. And from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.” — Philippians 3:20 Unlike earthly passports, heavenly citizenship isn’t inherited...
