Have you ever wished you could regenerate those brain cells you sacrificed in college? Do you fear that your aging brain is in a perpetual state of decline?

Medical science is being rewritten to show that we CAN improve the health of our brain, and that repairing damage is not only possible, it's something anyone can do.

It is a commonly held misconception that the brain is beyond repair. Even the medical establishment has asserted that once we kill brain cells, they are gone forever. The fact is, the brain can repair itself, and as science is now proving, there is real benefit to simple practices that can help keep our brains sharp and elastic throughout our lifetime.

The field of cognitive neuroscience is relatively new -- only around one hundred years old -- so it's no surprise that we are constantly arriving at a newer and better understanding of how the neural circuitry of the human brain supports overall brain functioning.

For most of those one hundred years, it was believed that once damaged, the brain could not regenerate. Brain cells were finite, and any loss or injury would be suffered as a deficiency for the rest of that person's life. This created a false belief that the brain is essentially in a perpetual state of decline.

Although compelling evidence to the contrary was presented as early as 1960, medical dogma was (and is) slow to change. It wasn't until the 1980's when Fernando Nottebohm's research at Rockefeller University clearly indicated that neurogenesis -- production of new nerve cells, aka neurons -- was taking place in the adult vertebrate brain.

The next big step in this scientific evolution would take more than thirty years. However, the pace of our understanding of how the brain is wired was about to take a quantum leap.

Just like the muscles of the body, when the brain is well-nourished and stimulated through proper exercise, it heals and grows. And with proper care and feeding, this amazing brain regeneration can occur throughout life.

To help make this a "no-brainer," Sayer Ji of GreenMedInfo has compiled a simple list of ways you can safeguard brain health, stimulate new brain cell growth and even heal the brain:

1. Get lots of physical exercise
2. Use stress reduction techniques
3. Take strategic supplements
4. Eat your veggies
5. Employ continuous learning

Aging is often associated with cognitive decline. However, a growing body of literature shows that retaining a sharp, lucid brain means never retiring our critical thinking skills.

Namaste,

How Your Wake-Up Juice Affects Your Gut


When the American colonists met in Griffin’s Wharf in 1773 to dump tea into the Boston Harbor, they suspected that the repercussions of their actions would include liberty, and enraging King George III.


They had no idea it would infect the future United States of America with the coffee mania still felt today.


At the time of writing, there are 24,000 coffee shops in America.


That number is expected to increase to 50,000 in the coming years.


Not to mention that approximately 150 million Americans drink coffee every day.


And while we know a lot about how coffee affects blood pressure, heart rate, and even what it does to the teeth, we don’t often talk about what coffee does to the microbiome in the gut.


Since Americans, on average, consume 1.6 cups of coffee per day, coffee is likely having a more significant effect on the bacterial populations in our guts than most people realize.


Let’s take a look at common gut reactions to drinking coffee…




Coffee, Caffeine, and Bacterial Diversity


Most people have experienced have their morning bowel movements after their morning coffee.


This does happen for a reason - and it’s not caffeine-related. According to a recent 2019 study, decaffeinated coffee got the bowels moving in the same way that caffeinated coffee does.


The same study confirmed that coffee increased the ability of the small intestines and colon to contract, thus serving as a laxative. It also found that after three days of exposure to coffee, the bacterial count in rat intestines lowered - although more research is required to determine whether the good bacteria or bad bacteria suffered the loss.


However…


Additional studies have delved a little deeper.


In fact, one study completed in 2019 identified specifically which bacteria were impacted by caffeinated coffee. And what they found was heavy-coffee drinkers had higher populations of Faecalibacterium and Roseburia, two beneficial strains of bacteria.


They also had lower populations of Erysipelatoclostridium, a potentially harmful bacteria. This particular strain has been linked to diet-induced obesity.


Overall, the study concluded that those with stronger caffeinated coffee habits experienced a rise in anti-inflammatory bacteria, a decrease in negative bacteria, and an overall richness of variety.


This is partly because of the antioxidants and polyphenols found in coffee, which are also found in plant-based foods and typically support a healthy microbiome.


But as with any science, there are exceptions. And while coffee may provide lots of benefits for those with a regularly functioning gut… it can have disastrous effects on a sensitive one.




When Coffee Can Actually Hurt Your Gut


If you have a preexisting gut condition, like leaky gut syndrome or colitis, drinking coffee can actually exacerbate those symptoms.


You see, coffee is an acidic substance. You’ve probably heard about the benefits of alkalizing your body…


Basically, decreasing your acid intake and focusing on substances that are more basic can produce positive health effects.


Ingesting acidic substances when you have a sensitive stomach can further erode the intestinal lining and cause major irritation and even more complicated issues if the lining becomes perforated.


Tangentially, coffee can worsen insomnia in those who experience it regularly. This can cause the gut’s microbiome to suffer because of how crucial deep and restful sleep is to a diverse and flourishing bacterial population.


Since no gut is created alike, the decision to drink coffee must be a personal one. (There are alternatives out there, after all.)


If you don’t typically have gut issues or don’t suffer from a known condition, like gastritis or leaky gut, coffee can help increase the population of healthy bacteria in the digestive tract and strengthen the contractions of the small intestine and colon, allowing for healthy and regular evacuation of the bowels.


If you do have gut problems, however, coffee will likely irritate those issues by eating away at the lining of the intestines and preventing restorative sleep.
