Unlock Your Body’s Full Healthy Aging Potential

Everyone is looking for a magic bullet to fix their health problems these days… as if one particular nutrient or herb could simply erase decades of poor lifestyle decisions.

Sure, there are a few key players that can make a BIG difference in your health outcomes, like omega-3s and vitamin D.

But nothing beats the benefits of simply following a healthy, well-balanced diet.

And as a recent study revealed, this is especially true for maintaining the health of one VITAL organ that’s absolutely essential for healthy aging.

It’s easy to connect your diet choices to weight, heart health, or diabetes risk.

But what you choose to eat is JUST as critical for maintaining optimal brain health as you age.

Researchers looked at the diets of over 180,000 people and compared that date to numerous markers of brain function, like brain images, cognitive function, genetics, and metabolic biomarkers.

They found that eating a well-balanced, healthy diet was tied to better brain structure and function.

In fact, compared to their junk-food-loving peers, folks who ate a healthier diet had…

• better mental health
• better cognitive function
• more gray matter in the brain (the area that processes learning, speech, cognition, and more)

A study like this might not seem particularly noteworthy at first glance. After all, we all know it’s important to eat a healthy diet.

But when you consider that Alzheimer’s affects nearly 7 million Americans, depression affects 21 million, and mild cognitive impairment impacts over 9 million it’s clear that our brains are under attack.

If you want to preserve your cognitive function, it’s simply not enough to hope for the best.

You must be proactive with your health—and you can start by eating a balanced diet.

That means dumping the processed junk foods and focusing on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, seeds, olive oil, legumes, fish, poultry, and organic grass-fed red meat and dairy.

P.S. Want a “younger,” more flexible brain? It starts with a trip to the grocery store. I’ve got the whole scoop RIGHT HERE.
