Notes from: Power Foods for the Brain | Neal Barnard | TEDxBismarck
Video key points:
  • Diet and exercise have a significant impact on reducing cognitive impairment and/or Alzheimer’s as we age
  • Genes for Alzheimer’s are not destiny
    1. A 40-minute brisk walk three times a week impacts the size of the hippocampus and can reverse brain shrinkage
    2. Vitamin E mitigates Alzheimer’s.
      • found in avocados, almonds, walnuts, spinach and other foods. Vitamin E is an anti-oxidant. 
      • Vitamin E is best taken from food, NOT supplements. 
      • Eat colorful foods e.g. blue berries and grapes, purple etc
  • Mild cognitive impairment starts on average age at age 50
    1. Alzheimer’s risks are higher in people who eat more than 21.6 grams of fat daily
    2. Dairy products is the number one source of saturated fat
    3. Oxidized iron and copper in your body acts as sparks. This material comes from copper pipes or iron pans.

Recommended Christmas gift - The Laws of Human Nature by Robert Greene Despite living in a tech driven world, the core of our society remains in the human domain. A domain often competing between being driven by reason, or by emotion. Greene addresses this competition occurring in the human condition and how the condition shapes our lives as a victor, or victim… as a leader or follower… as a person living in poverty or wealth. The book can be used as a tool for self reflection, regeneration and self development. You can find the book, in various formats here, or at your local library. #lawsofhumannature #selfdevelopment #competition #wealthgeneration https://amzn.to/3ZW8WM3
