Brain Boost Tip

We all know that Omega 3 is important for brain health but researchers at King’s College London found that women with Alzheimer’s had much lower levels of healthy unsaturated fats - especially omega-3s.

The good news is that you can really do something about this.

The main two choices are to eat oily fish twice a week such as salmon, sardines, mackerel, anchovies and herring or take a quality omega-3 supplement.

Brain Boost Tip:

Artificial Sweeteners have been linked to a 62% faster decline in overall thinking and memory skills as well as 173% faster decline in verbal fluency when compared to the lowest consumers of sweeteners.

So how can you start changing this?

The first step is being aware of what you are eating that contains sweeteners. This is because you can’t swap out what you aren’t aware of.

So how can you reduce this?
Firstly avoid them wherever possible. You can also use natural sweeteners such as honey, add fruit.

Look to change from ‘Diet’ versions of drinks looking for one’s only that have natural sweeteners - our own favourite is Lipton Peach Tea.

After seeing both parents suffer with dementia and having to care for them, Lesley joined the Brain Vitality Programme determined to take control of her own brain health — not just for herself, but for her son.

She didn’t want him to face the same challenges she had.

Here’s what she had to say about the course:

“I thoroughly enjoyed the course, it was uplifting gaining knowledge that will improve my brain health in a supportive community of like-minded individuals.”

“The course has given me a blueprint and toolkit for attaining and sustaining good brain health.”

“It has shifted my focus onto my daily routine and continuing to implement changes including prioritising sleep, relaxation, nutrition and exercise.”

“I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is seeking to optimise and maintain good brain health.”

The next Brain Vitality Programme starts this Thursday. Join us to take control of your brain health and and enjoy more quality time with the people you love.
