“Mind Fertilizer” Helps You Grow a BIGGER Brain
You’ve likely given some thought to the size of your muscles over the years or your (growing) waistline.
But have you ever considered the size of your brain?
You SHOULD.
Our brains naturally shrink some with age. But a faster shrink is bad news.
Symptoms like memory deficits, comprehension problems, or disorientation can all be signs that your brain is shrinking too fast.
Fortunately, there’s one surefire way to grow a bigger (healthier, younger) brain… no matter how old you are.
The secret to Popeye’s bulging muscles could also be your secret weapon for a BIGGER BRAIN:
I’m talking about spinach, of course.
But if you’d rather munch on grass than spinach leaves, don’t worry. You can substitute a different leafy green, legumes (beans, lentils, or peas), seeds, or nuts instead.
Why does it work? Well, all of these foods have one VITAL thing in common.
They contain a good amount of magnesium.
A study published in the European Journal of Nutrition analyzed the health data of people aged 40 to 73.
It turns out that folks who ate foods containing more than 550 mg of magnesium daily had the healthiest, biggest brains.
But the brain benefits didn’t end there.
They also had less age-related brain shrinkage and smaller white matter lesions (signs of brain aging).
This helps explain why past studies connected magnesium to improved memory, better cognitive performance, and enhanced learning.
The solution here is clear: Be sure to load up on plenty of magnesium-rich foods DAILY.
You can do this by eating more of the leafy greens, nuts, and legumes I mentioned earlier.
If you’re concerned that your diet might not supply all the magnesium you need to grow a bigger, healthier brain, consider adding a quality supplemen to your routine.
P.S. One of the BEST foods to boost your memory and brain health is a tasty treat most folks would NEVER turn down. CLICK HERE to reveal this DELICIOUS food!
