The CR Way to a Better Brain
1. Damaging oxygen radicals reduce
Formation of oxygen-produced free radical substances that promote the long-term deterioration of tissues slows.
2. Glucose use becomes more efficient
Brain cells, which are highly dependent on glucose for fuel, increase their ability to transport glucose into the cell.
3. Sleep and concentration both improve
Dietary strategies facilitate functionality enhancement.
4. Energy producers increase
Additional mitochondria, the energy generators of the cell, are formed.
5. Neurotransmitters preserved
Age-related decline of neurotransmitters, which transmit signals from a nerve cell to another nerve, muscle, organ, or other tissue, is prevented.
6. Circulation increases
More blood vessels are formed.
7. Command center gets larger
The pre-frontal cortex, which normally shrinks with age, increases in size.
8. Optimism grows
Happiness biochemistry is increased.
9. Memory improves
The ability to form new brain cells increases and the incidence and severity of neuro-degenerative disorders reduces.
10. New learning pathways form
Physiological changes enhance formation and retention of new ideas.
