Mindfulness Is Shifting the Location of Control in Your Brain

Here’s why that’s important:

• The cerebral cortex is the largest region of the cerebrum in the mammalian brain and plays a key role in memory, attention, perception, cognition, awareness, thought, language, and consciousness.
• The primary structures in the limbic system include the amygdala, hippocampus, thalamus, hypothalamus, basal ganglia, and cingulate gyrus. The amygdala is the emotional center of your brain. It controls your body’s fight-or-flight response. The hippocampus plays an essential role in the formation of new memories and seems to be involved in some mental illnesses, like schizophrenia and depression.
• The brain stem is at the bottom posterior part of the brain joining to your spinal cord. The nerve connections of the motor and sensory systems from the main part of the brain to the rest of your body pass through the brainstem. Therefore, it’s one of the most vital regions for your body’s survival. It regulates control of the heart and lungs and coordinates many other important bodily reflexes.

Boost Human Growth Hormone (HGH) Naturally

Lose Body Fat

The amount of body fat you carry is directly related to your HGH production

Fast Intermittently

Studies show that fasting leads to a major increase in HGH levels.

Try an Arginine Supplement

When taken alone, arginine may boost HGH.

Reduce Sugar Intake

An increase in insulin can lower HGH production.

Don’t Eat a Lot Before Bedtime

Your body naturally releases significant amounts of HGH, especially at night

Take a GABA Supplement

GABA is a non-protein amino acid that functions as a neurotransmitter, sending signals around your brain.

Exercise at a High Intensity

Exercise is one of the most effective ways to significantly raise your HGH levels.

Take Beta-Alanine and/or a Sports Drink Around Your Workouts

Some exercise supplements can optimize performance and boost your HGH levels.

Optimize Your Sleep

The majority of HGH is released in pulses when you sleep. These pulses are based on your body’s internal clock or circadian rhythm.

Take a Melatonin Supplement

Melatonin is a hormone that plays an important role in sleep and blood pressure regulation

Moringa Brain Greens | Support cognitive function | Healthspan

We all know that green leafy vegetables are a key part of a healthy, balanced diet, but many don’t realise that not all greens are created equal! Like kale and other “super-greens” before it, Moringa oleifera has been lauded in the news as having one of the best nutritional profiles around; rich in vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. Much sought, the leaves of this North African tree are not something that are easily added to our everyday diets however.
