A Brain Is A Terrible Thing To Waste

by Dr. Chris D. Meletis, ND, Executive Director of the Institute for Healthy Aging

The human brain is comprised of billions of neurons and trillions of synapses. Your very essence and individuality are reflected by the health and vibrance of your brain cells, which allow you to have your daily thoughts, hopes, emotions, dreams and memories. Unfortunately, those quick and complex thought processes can be subtly and slowly eroded by the passage of time, stress, hormonal changes, decreased circulation, decreased brain connectivity and structural shifts within your brain. Since speech is usually one of the last things to be affected by decreased brain function, the full extent of cognitive loss might not be noted by friends and family until significant deterioration has already occurred.

We shall review the latest international research as it pertains to healthy aging of the brain, risk factors to be aware of, and natural interventions that prominent scientists from around the world have discovered—and we’ll offer a summary of what you must know when it comes to fending off the ravages of time.

We all spend a lifetime actively building and growing our brain power through formal education and life experience. It is time for us to join together and fight to protect what we have worked so hard to create.
