As we age, it isn't only our physical body that begins to slow down. | |||
Studies have shown that mental agility becomes slower as reserves of certain vital nutrients gradually become depleted. Our concentration and short term memory become weaker and it gets harder to take in new information and learn new skills. | |||
Two supplements - ginkgo biloba and ginseng - have been proved to slow down | |||
the process. | |||
:Gingko biloba | |||
With more than 40 pieces of research to support it, gingko biloba is | |||
the most commonly prescribed prescription herb in Europe. It appears to | |||
work by increasing blood flow to the brain and is widely used to treat | |||
blockages in the small arteries of the brain. | |||
A recent trial involving a group of elderly patients with memory loss showed that by taking a daily dose of ginkgo for just six weeks, they increased their memory capacity by around 25 per cent. Concentration and alertness were the first symptoms to be relieved followed by an improvement in tinnitus (hissing noises in the ear) and dizziness. The standard dose is | |||
40-80mg three times a day. | |||
:Ginseng | |||
Ginseng has also been used for centuries for its rejuvenating qualities. The Asiatic form is the most potent and can be taken as powdered dry root, tincture or pills. Results are cumulative and you will need to take it for between six to eight weeks before you feel the benefits. | |||
