Grow New Brain Cells
The Neurogenesis Diet
Despite popular belief, it is actually possible to Grow New Brain Cells with a Neurogenesis Diet and exercise. Learn what brain boosters and supplements you need.
Dr. Brant Cortright suggests the following foods which encourages Neurogenesis or the formation of new brain cells:
- Wild caught Fish
- Grass fed Beef
- Grass fed Dairy (milk)
- Cheese
- Pastured chicken & eggs
- Butter
- Saturated fats : Coconut oil, lard, ghee
- Avacado
- Nuts
- Bioflavonoids (Quercitin, Hesperidin, Apigenin, Diosmin)
- Mulberries
- Red Sage (Salvia)
- Goji Berries
- Vitamin B6 & B12
Avoid these foods which are inflammatory and bad for the brain :
- Burnt foods/Meat
- Vegetable oil - Oxidized fats
Remember to get sufficient sleep (at least 7 hours a night)
Dr. Brant Cortright: "The Neurogenesis Diet" | Talks at Google
Important for all knowledge workers, this talk lays out how to
powerfully enhance cognitive function by increasing neurogenesis (the
process of making new brain cells). New discoveries in neuroscience
reveal that your rate of neurogenesis is the most important bio-marker
of brain health you’ve never heard of.
Low rates of neurogenesis
are associated with cognitive decline, memory problems, stress, anxiety
and depression. High rates of neurogenesis are associated with cognitive
enhancement, memory improvement, and protection from stress and
depression. Most people live in the middle, with adequate but suboptimal
brain function.
Brant Cortright, Ph.D., is a professor of
psychology at CIIS. He is the author of the #1 international bestseller
"The Neurogenesis Diet and Lifestyle: Upgrade Your Brain, Upgrade Your
Life". He is a clinical psychologist with a consulting practice in
cutting-edge brain health and neuroscience-informed depth therapy.
Here is a list of the Best Antioxidants and Free Radical Scavengers that you should be taking as dietary supplements daily as recommended by Dr David Perlmutter, author of 'Grain Brain':
- Tumeric
- DHA Omega 3
- B complex vitamins (including Vitamin B12)
- Vitamin C & D
- Bacopa
- Brocolli
- Alpha-Lipoic acid 300 (ALA)
- Ashwagandha
- Resveratrol
- Milk Thistle
- Green Tea
- Probiotics
- Coenzyme Q10 (coq10)
These nutritional supplements reduce oxidative stress on your brain and body, thus protecting your health.
Neurogenesis - Grow New Brain Cells With Exercise I David Perlmutter MD
Back in Medical School we were told that we were given a certain number of brain cells and that was it for life. However, this idea that humans do not grow new brain cells is now fully demonstrated to be wrong. How exciting it is that we possess the ability to re-grow new brain cells, a process called neurogenesis. Not only that, but we retain this ability throughout our entire lifetimes. So you might be wondering: What can I do to increase neurogenesis? In this video we will explore at least one way to make this happen.
You Can Grow New Brain Cells. Here's How | Sandrine Thuret | TED Talks
Can we, as adults, grow new neurons? Neuroscientist Sandrine Thuret says that we can, and she offers research and practical advice on how we can help our brains better perform neurogenesis—improving mood, increasing memory formation and preventing the decline associated with aging along the way.
Dr. David Perlmutter's Brain Maker
Board-Certified Neurologist Dr. David Perlmutter received his M.D. from
the University of Miami School of Medicine. He is a recipient of the
Linus Pauling Award for his innovative approaches to neurological
disorders, Clinician of the Year Award from the National Nutritional
Foods Association, and Humanitarian of the Year award from the American
College of Nutrition.Dr. Perlmutter has been interviewed on 20/20, Larry
King Live, CNN, Fox News, The Today Show, Oprah, and CBS.
Dr.
Dale Bredesen was the Buck Institute’s founding President and CEO and is
an internationally recognized expert on Alzheimer’s disease. Dr.
Bredesen’s ground-breaking discoveries have led to a recent clinical
trial as well as evidence for memory loss reversal associated with
Alzheimer’s disease using lifestyle modifications. He earned his M.D.
from Duke University Medical Center and served as Chief Resident in
Neurology at UCSF before joining Nobel laureate Stanley Prusiner’s lab
at UCSF as an NIH Postdoctoral Fellow. He has held faculty positions at
UCSF, UCLA and UC San Diego.
Dr. Bredesen says Dr. Perlmutter’s
new book, Brain Maker: The Power of Gut Microbes to Heal and Protect
Your Brain—for Life, explains how nurturing gut health can enhance brain
function. "Thanks in large part to a dramatic new understanding of the
brain-gut-microbiome connection, there’s new hope for the treatment of
autism to Alzheimer's to multiple sclerosis. David Perlmutter is a
leader in this burgeoning field. His book is a landmark contribution."
