12 natural ways to boost neurogenesis using nutrition.
Neurogenesis is a process where your brain creates new neurons and brain cells. This happens throughout life, mostly in the hippocampus region of the brain. This also involves building connections (synapses) so that your brain cells may communicate effectively with each other, and through the rest of the nervous system.
Over age 40, studies show that the brain can begin to shrink at around 5% per decade, so it slowly can become harder to build new neurons and form connections, and can result in slower thinking or nerve communication as we get older.
In this video, we take a look at 12 natural ways to help boost neurogenesis using nutritional approaches such eating wild blueberries, eggs, an MCT morning coffee, along with essential nutrients like magnesium, Vitamin D, taurine, omega 3-s (from sardines), amongst many others.
