The brain is vital to wellness, yet many of us don’t realize the importance of supporting cognitive function. A healthy brain has many functions, including verbal skills, visual and spatial memory, and intellectual thinking. General brain support is critical and it addresses targeted areas like memory, behavior and mood, and tension and relaxation.

Memory issues are one of the most common concerns with age. With age, we generally need more time to remember things and may have issues with concentration. However, scientists are discovering that cognitive decline need not be an “inevitable” result of aging. Increasing evidence suggests that cognitive decline is preventable and to some extent perhaps even reversible. It is crucial that brain cells are nourished with the proper fuel they need to thrive, as this will directly influence how well the brain functions on a daily basis.

With common complaints ranging from lack of focus to the inability to concentrate, today’s moms and dads are searching for ways to support mental clarity, mood, and balance to live a full life. Ensuring the body is supplied with nutrients that support the structural integrity of brain cells is one fundamental approach to promote healthy brain function.

Given proper nutrition, the human body is amazingly resilient. Eating a healthy diet is essential for maintaining good health, but it can be difficult in our fast-paced culture. There are so many different kinds of supplements on the market that choosing a supplement can be confusing. Whole food supplements supply our bodies with nutrients we are not getting from our diet—all the vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, and phytonutrients that foods possess in a way that nature intended, in a whole food form. At Spa Longevita &Acupuncture Medicine, we choose supplements with only whole food ingredients, no synthetics. Our physician can help you select the best organic supplement for your unique needs.

Tension, Support, Calming Relaxation

It’s not unusual to worry or feel uptight when faced with an important decision or when dealing with finances, family issues, and work or study problems.  Tension can leave the mind and body feeling tired, stressed, and craving extra support.
