Many factors affect your brain and heart health. Optimal brain health and memory can be affected by lack of sleep or a number of other reasons including genetics, level of physical activity, and lifestyle and environmental factors. Studies are now showing how nutrition is playing a key role in brain health. As the years’ progress, cell damage in the brain can occur due to oxygen molecules called free-radicals. For those affected, it can lead to memory loss and slower cognitive processing times leading to a diagnosis of disorders like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Dementia.

Issue 10.5.18 GOUT: Causes - Symptoms - Natural Solutions  FACT: Gout plagues more and more people daily – it’s a type of arthritis which leads to joint inflammation. It can cause slight swelling and stiffness or, in some cases, leads to severe pain and intense swelling that develops and manifests in just a few hours.
