Support Your Brain With These Clinically Proven Nutrients

Resveratrol and the Hippocampus

The hippocampus also benefits from the supplementation of resveratrol. This study, published less than a year ago in the Journal of Neuroscience, describes the benefits of resveratrol on memory performance and hippocampal connectivity in healthy overweight older adults.

As I mentioned earlier, the benefits of resveratrol on the brain have been known for some time. But this study provides a new understanding of why resveratrol has a positive impact on the function of the brain. Answer - it improves glucose metabolism. Incidentally, compared to the subjects taking the placebo, the individuals taking the resveratrol also lost body fat and had increases in leptin (also known as the "satiety hormone" as it tells the brain to stop eating).

As a doctor and Certified Clinical Nutritionist, I recommend that you do some research about the nutrients I discuss in this article. If you concur with my conclusions here I suggest you add them to your daily regimen. With all the processed foods out there today it's more important than ever that we do everything in our power to keep our bodies healthy, especially our brains.
