today we’re going to talk about how to actually protect your brain

against stress here’s the problem stress shrinks your brain

it causes the brain to experience atrophy

especially in the hippocampus which you nearly always see when

someone has alzheimer’s now fortunately there’s

two parts of your brain that have the capacity to regenerate

only two not the whole brain and it just so happens that the hippocampus is one

of them thank goodness and then you also have

the olfactory bulb which has to do with smelling and the

differentiation of smelling one thing versus another

the hippocampus is a structure that they’re still debating

as far as the function there’s a lot of theories on what it does

but it has something to do with affecting short-term memory

like some type of mechanism related to a relay switch

to tap into your database of certain memories

but mainly short term not the long term also

it can affect your ability to learn it can also affect your ability to be

orientated so if you have damage with your

hippocampus you’re disoriented and that has a lot to do

with this right here navigation because the hippocampus is

involved with your ability to navigate through space

so if you were in a city for example and you had a map and you had to get out of

the city if you had damage in your hippocampus

you would have a difficult time navigating through this space and also

remembering where you were in space so you’re definitely gonna have problems

to find out where you parked your car and you see that with alzheimer’s it

just so happens that 80 of alzheimer’s patients also have type 2

diabetes symptoms so it’s not only the stress that can

shrink the brain but also high sugar glucose

carbs can also shrink the brain but what i want to talk about is what can you do

about this how can you protect the brain because everyone goes through stress and

so you want to do these things right here six things

make sure on a regular basis you’re taking b1 i recommend nutritional yeast

as a good source not the kind that has the added enriched

fortified synthetic b vitamins but the one that’s unfortified

unenriched you know nutritional yeast because you want the b1 b1 uh greatly

improves the hippocampus in fact if someone’s an alcoholic for example and

they become b1 deficient they have problems with this and they

start getting dementia so there’s all sorts of conditions that

occur when you’re deficient in b1 affecting the hippocampus

this will reduce stress number two dha and epa

both of these together are omega-3 fatty acids

so whether you’re doing fish oil or especially cod liver oil

or getting it from algae dha epa can help prevent the brain from

shrinking and i’m going to put some links down below

of the research that i’m basing this off of so you need omega-3 fatty acids

why because part of the brain is made from

these healthy fats number three zinc there’s a lot of receptors

in the olfactory bulb and hippocampus for

zinc if you lose your sense of smell that could be one symptom of a zinc

deficiency so zinc not only affects this but this

too so shellfish is really good to get your zinc also you can take it as a

supplement zinc does a lot it helps your immune

system it helps keep testosterone in normal levels and then we get to

number four which is fasting fasting creates a very

interesting effect on the hippocampus and the olfactory

bulb it actually increases something called

brain derived neurotrophic factor which is miracle

growth for your brain so when you fast you grow

your brain cells back fascinating number five

of course keto low carb healthy keto ketones are

wonderful for your brain your brain loves ketones they’re anti-inflammatory

they can feed the neurons even if there’s damage

and difficulty of your brain cells getting glucose

so ketones bypass the whole thing and feed the brain and help to keep it

nourished and number six is exercise which can

also help slow down or prevent shrinkage of the

brain probably because you’re flooding the brain with

all sorts of powerful chemicals as well as

oxygen okay so you’re gonna get a lot of oxygen too and there’s other things you

can do too like the hyperbaric oxygen therapy and uh

using different types of exercise which i’ve done videos on but these are the

most important things to implement um just to

make sure that you can maintain a normal size of your brain all right

thanks for watching before you go if you have a question

about a product or you’re new to keto and you want to know how to begin keto

or you’re on keto and you need a debug because it’s not

going as smooth i have a keto consultant standing by to

help you this is just for the people in the u.s

hopefully in the future we’ll be able to answer everyone’s call

but i put the number down below so you can call

and get some help
