You already know about swiss army knife, don’t you? Well, what I’m about to tell you today is a swiss army knife for your health, and especially your brain health.
You see, Swiss scientists wanted to test three types of super compounds called flavonoids and see if they had any effect on memory.
So they took 300 men and 130 women volunteers and followed them for 22 years. At the start of the research, scientists measured blood levels of those three flavonoids I’m going to reveal to you in a second.
They found that those people with higher levels of these flavonoids were acing their memory tests. And this continued for years and years. Which means if you have higher levels of these three, your brain and memory will be stronger.
So what are they? They’re the antioxidants beta carotene, vitamin E and vitamin C. And you’ve probably heard about them a million times already.
But do you know why they work? And what can an antioxidant do for your brain?
Well, your brain contains high levels of oxygen, iron and copper, making it extremely vulnerable to oxidative damage.
It’s eating away at your brain no matter your age… eroding your memory and making you lose mental sharpness. Oxidation is like a fire that burns your brain cells.
Forgetfulness… trouble concentrating, and brain fog have all been linked to oxidative stress. The main cause of oxidative stress is refined carbs in processed foods.
Even healthy young people who ate lots of refined carbs had impaired memory. But if you’re 65 or older the more refined carbs you consume, the worse their memory is.
Problem is… refined carbs are EVERYWHERE…
Baked desserts… White Bread… Muffins… Donuts… Cakes… Pancakes… Pastries… Pies… Ice cream… Waffles… Crackers… Pizza Dough… Hamburger and hot dog buns…
And the list goes on and on… It’s impossible to eliminate them all from your diet. So what’s the solution?
Antioxidants! That’s right. They annihilate Oxidative Stress and protect your precious brain cells.
And Swiss scientists tested just three of them. There are many more. And researchers know they’re good for your health. They just had no idea they’re so good for the brain.
So what’s the ONE food with the highest amount of antioxidants?
One food that you could add to your diet and flood your blood with them and protect your brain… not to mention, get other health benefits such as slashing your risk of heart disease and certain types of cancer?
This one cream de la creme antioxidant superpower is…
A spice called Green mint. It has a whopping 142.6 mmol antioxidants per 3.5 ounces serving.
Which is 44.5 times higher than plums for example.
15.5 times higher than blueberries.
And get this…52.8 times higher than kale.
Just one type of spice beats them all! That’s how high in antioxidants it is.
It truly is a swiss army knife of a health miracle.
You can drink tea made with it. You can grow it in your backyard.
And they can keep your brain sharp and your memory working.
