"Of all the things I've lost, it's my mind I miss the most" is a quote that is familiar to some and a reality for many others. Our brains are marvelous miracles to say the least. Over the years scientists have not only been able to examine and study how the brain functions and malfunctions, but also how different drugs and natural nutrients can affect the brain as well. Here we will discuss 8 nutrients in particular that have been rigorously studied and clinically proven to have a positive effect on the brain in terms of improving poor concentration, slow thinking processes and impaired memory function.
The first nutrient is a wild herb that grows in wet, marshy areas in India, Sri Lanka, Taiwan and other areas, it's called Bacopa Monnieri. Before the written word was readily available, men and women had to rely on the spoken word to learn things. It is said that in ancient times the holy men of India called the Rishi were able to recite pages and pages of hymns and prayers complete from memory. How could they do this? It is believed that beyond the divine inspiration they claimed to have received, their ability to learn and recall information was due to their consumption of the wild herb Bacopa Monnieri.
Since the ancient times, several double blind studies have been done to test the efficacy of Bacopa Monnieri. One study with 48 individuals of an average age of 73.5 were given Bacopa Monnieri for 12 weeks. The study concluded that the Bacopa Monnieri had enhanced their verbal recall ability and their ability to ignore irrelevant information. It also recorded that depression, anxiety and heart rate also decreased with the group receiving the herb. The study conclusion states "This study provides further evidence that B. monnieri has potential for safely enhancing cognitive performance in the aging."
