SUPPORT YOUR MEMORY NATURALLY

Memory disorders are one of the most common health problems in the country. While prescription drugs are not lasting and come with debilitating side effects, there are more than 2 dozens of natural remedies and modalities (without side effects) you can learn about in this blog. Just read on.

Daryl Fleming from Pullman, WA, asks:
My memory is fading since quite some time. Despite of the respective drugs my healthcare provider prescribes. Any other choice?

Dr. Fritz:

Philosophy Behind

There are many reasons for poor memory (besides advancing age). Like, e.g. Alzheimer’s or Dementia, etc. However, whatever the ‘philosophy behind’, an excellent memory is part of an optimal well being we need to take care early enough.
 
However, it is a myth to believe that any pharmaceuticals are the solution. Not to talk about their side effects involved. Instead, there are more than 30 natural remedies and modalities, free of side effects, to count on. While we cannot cover all of them in this blog, read on to get some idea.
 

Natural  Remedies & Modalities

In fact, according to, inter alia, clinical research at Boston VA Hospital, a Vitamin B complex including

• Vitamin B-2, B-6 & B-9 (Folic Acid)    together with Vitamin B-12 can be a very powerful memory support.

 Also

• Vitamin D 
  

is one of nature’s ‘wonder drugs’ for our existence from tip to toe (counterbalancing memory disorders included) as, inter alia, Harvard University researchers verified. Best source moderate sun exposure. (If sun rays fall on your skin – any part of the body – it produces Vitamin D.)
 
As far as minerals are concerned, according to recent research at Yale University,

• Magnesium 
  

is the best choice to fight memory impairment. Although the role of magnesium in this case is known since the middle of last century, new research especially at Yale University has validated it scientifically.
 
Another kind of ‘revolutionary’ natural substance for improving mental alertness and memory, is

• Pycnogenol 
  

as an extract of a French maritime pine bark. Scientifically validated, inter alia, by Chieti-Pescara University in Italy and Swinburne University in Melbourne, Australia, Pycnogenol may improve certain cognitive functions such as memory, attention-span,  mood, concentration, decision-making, and other cognitive functions.
 
According to, inter alia, recent research at the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA) and the University of Basel in Switzerland, scientifically validated also at the University of Tokyo, you may also not miss

• Green Tea (Botanical name: Camellia sinsnsis) 
  

to support cognitive function to improve concentration and learning ability. Based on the amino acid L-theanine which is found exclusively in green tea and which triggers natural chemical changes in the brain.
 
Also, another important herb native to China where it also has been researched at Weifang Medical University in China, but is grown all over the world meanwhile, is

• Ginkgo (Botanical name: Ginkgo biloba) 
  

which supports the cognitive function and increases memory retention. 
 
Additionally to appropriate nutrients, aerobic

• Physical Exercise
  

on a regular basis at least 5 times a week for half an hour each. Because the increased cerebral blood flow due to exercise helps your brain to function better immediately, makes you more focused and supports your memory.

Scientifically validated by, inter alia, Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, the University of Kansas Medical Center, and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.
