Guest guest Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Suzi; Thank you for this! I just want to keep my brain happy and healthy, my mind quick and spry with good memory and balanced brain chemistry through all phases of my life I currently take Ginkgo, and have love Royal Jelly in the past!The supplements I mentioned have marketed precursors for acetylcholine and other neurotransmitters, but I'm just not sure about all that. I will definitely look for the other herbs you mentioned.. Thanks again! Nori In a message dated 10/26/2004 9:26:08 PM Eastern Standard Time, suziesgoats@... writes: I would pass on this... What exactly are you looking for... memory or what... some herbs that help the brain are Siberian Ginseng Ginkgo Biloba, COQ10 UDO Oil. Flax Seed Oil Bee Pollen Royal Jelly Also, Ashwagandha. Ashwagandha is believed to nurture and clear the mind, calm and strengthen the nervous system, promote sound sleep, and rejuvenate tissues throughout the body. Like ginseng, the powers of this root as a rasayana, an all-around promoter of health and balance, are legendary. Ashwagandha is said to fortify all systems in the body, including the mind. This root contains alkaloids and steroidal lactones, which relax the central nervous system, while combating stress and promoting overall balance. And it contains several key amino acids that can bolster the brain's own natural supplies: glycine, valine, tyrosine, proline, and alanine. Used for thousands of years as a folk remedy in India, ashwagandha has only recently been subjected to scientific testing. In one double-blind randomized clinical study in New Delhi, researchers studied the aging process of 101 healthy male adults, ages 50 to 59, for one year. Results showed that in the men who were taking ashwagandha, the aging process was slowed--their hair was less grey, their red blood cell counts higher, serum cholesterol levels lower; and three-quarters of the men taking the herb reported improvement in sexual performance: And a 1997 study at the University of Leipzig in Germany using male rats showed that an extract of ashwagandha affects acetylcholine metabolism in the brain, which could explain its cognitive enhancement abilities.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Hi Nori, You might like to look into kombucha tea if you are hooked on soda. It provides healthy probiotics, and tastes good at the same time :-) and the K9's I do have a small "problem" with occasional...goshI'm afraid to say it here (just kidding) diet soft drink!!!

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 ACV w/ agave (sweetener) and water is my resort when trying to curb any kind of 'food calling' and than eat an apple.

Strive to learn something new and keep your brain active. Always seek to learn more and learn new things that you didn't know before. Also welcome to the group. Browse the files and make yourself at home. -- Peace, love and light, Don Quai " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Here is a good site for learning about a raw diet... www.thegardendiet.com I have really enjoyed Jinjee's story of how she met Storm and their relationship through raw food, through the raw pregnancy and birth of their last child just a couple of months ago. Click on the link of pictures of her with 10-day-old Adagio and check out the flat belly!<G> Sharyn From: NoriSlater@... [mailto:NoriSlater@...] I eat fairly healthy, but am now looking to go to the next level. The discussion of "raw diet" here is really nudging me! --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Interesting article. > > Carol > ================================== This is true, however, there is one little point that goes unmentioned here. Both the fluoride and the aluminum are organic and not inorganic. It is inorganic fluoride and aluminum that you have to stay away from. However, too much green tea is not good for anyone anyway. Too much caffeine. -- Peace, love and light, Don Quai " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.
