By: Jasdeep Singh

These days, when people have become so conscious about what they eat and how it affects their body, they don't realize that eating same food helps their brain to grow and make it more healthy. According to studies, right diet can help prevent memory loss. Studies say right amount of diet is far more affective in memory-enhancement rather than all those expensive supplements.

Here is how it works!

As the brain ages, it gets more prone to inflammation and oxidation which allows damaging free radicals to attach themselves to cells. As a result, it kills brain cells which in turn is responsible for memory loss.

Scientists have proven the fact that right diet increase the immunity of the brain towards inflammation and oxidation. Also it helps brain cells to communicate between them easily. One important area of research in this subject is the role of antioxidants, potent chemicals in plant that protect against free radicals which are responsible for damaging brain cells.

Food with high value powerful antioxidants are just the right diet for your brain. Many fruits and vegetables occupy their respective space in this prime list. Antioxidants, not only slow oxidation but also act as anti-inflammatory agents, serve dual purpose. Hence they make brain less vulnerable to amyloid plaque. Also they improve communication between neurons and allow the brain to regenerate.

Curcumin which is a spice known for its anti-inflammatory effects helps a lot in preventing memory loss. Curcumin is basically that spice which gives yellow curry its bright color and is frequently used as natural food dye.

How to Benefit from the Mind-Body Connection   (excerpt)

You are about to gain insight into the mind-body connection. The number of
people who truly understand these principles on our planet are relatively few.
There is an undeniable connection between our minds and bodies, you can learn
to use this fact to your benefit.


Dr. Bernie Siegel, author of "Love, Medicine and Miracles" was once a
distraught cancer surgeon until he began to understand the greater principles
of the mind- body connection. He felt dragged down by the artificial barriers
that existed between patient and doctor, and the helplessness he often felt as
a result of his inability to effectively serve those patients. Eventually, those barriers
were disintegrated by Dr. Siegel's recognition and growing understanding of the
mind-body connection and how it could serve his patients and himself.

Dr. Siegel, or Bernie as he began to have his patients refer to him, had some
startling realizations as a cancer surgeon. He found that there were actually
quite a few people in the world that successfully beat the statistics on cancer
survival. He began to recognize that a patient's ability to defeat something as
serious as cancer had to do with the patient's mind and attitude about their
disease.
