Naturopathic Approach to Maintaining a Healthy Brain
Friday, June 20th, 2008
Listen to Naturopathic Approach to Maintaining a Healthy Brain
In this podcast, Portland naturopathic doctors, Dr. Greg Eckel and Dr. Greg Nigh discuss various ways that we can maintain our brain health. They explain that memory decline is not just a “sign of aging”, but it’s a sign of not aging well and isn’t normal. A long life of oxidative stress, which the brain is especially vulnerable to, puts the brain in a position of being more prone to develop neurological diseases as we get older. Through a naturopathic approach, they’ll share with you many ways that we can protect our brains from this oxidative stress, leading to devastating disorders such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, memory loss, and even strokes.

The finding was that the group taking ginkgo scored significantly better in testing. The difference between the two groups was described by the lead researcher as “comparable to differences in scores between healthy people ages 30 to 39 and those ages 50 to 59.” (more…)
