If you or a loved one are beginning to experience the early stages of senile dementia, then you cannot wait another day before starting a fish oil supplement regimen. Fish oil, which is rich in omega 3, an essential fatty acid that is directly related to successful brain and memory function, can dramatically improve your memory and recall whether or not you have already started having issues with dementia or not (Wolters Kluwer Drugs 2005 vol. 65 no. 8: 1051-9). To get the best results possible, make sure that you are taking an omega 3 supplement that has undergone molecular differentiation so that you only get optimized omega 3 fatty acids that are the best for treating these issues.

You probably never thought you’d ask a swordfish for help remembering where your glasses or, or consult a cod about the location of your car keys. However, if you are not looking to salmon to enlighten you on how you can set your brain up to battle senile dementia, an age-related slowing of the brain and memory functions, then you are overlooking a major ally in your battle against losing your memory. This is because salmon oil contains high amounts of omega 3, an essential fatty acid that helps keep your memory in tact (Journal of Physiology 2007 vol. 578 no. 2: 397-411). By including a salmon oil supplement in your daily diet, you can start fortifying your brain against the aging process literally decades before you actually start experiencing age-related memory issues.

When it comes to your mood, there are certain things that can build you up or bring you down hard. Even if you are having a great day, put the wrong thing in your mouth and suddenly you could find yourself inexplicably down in the dumps. Conversely, the worst day ever can often be counterbalanced – if not entirely counteracted – by “good mood foods” which, while they may not provide the culturally-promised satisfaction that a gallon of ice cream will, will actually help you focus on resolving your problems rather than railing against them.
Here are 5 “good mood foods” that you can count on to boost your spirits and keep you more positive in general when the going gets tough:
1. Turkey
Turkey contains serotonin, which your body needs in order to avoid mood swings, unhealthy food cravings and anxiety. A turkey sandwich may be just the thing to lighten and brighten a gray day.
2. Bananas
Bananas are high in potassium, which gives you energy and also keeps your muscles from feeling fatigued. A banana a day may do just as good a job – if not better – than an apple at keeping the doctor away. If you are stressed out and starting to feel it physically, a banana can help you counteract these effects.
3. Citrus fruits
Need a little boost in the bedroom? Citrus fruits contain vitamins and minerals that boost sperm count and improve your odds of an orgasm. People who are satisfied in the bedroom tend to operate on a more even keel outside it, so drinking a glass of pure orange juice could go a long way toward evening out your mood issues.
4. Whole grains
A moderate amount of carbohydrates in your diet can help keep your blood sugar stable. This is good because it enables you to focus and remain calm under stress. However, refined carbohydrates actually make your blood sugar less stable, so stick to whole grains to insure that you are helping the situation rather than exacerbating it.
5. Salmon
Salmon contains fatty acids called omega 3s. These essential nutrients have been proven to prevent and alleviate clinical depression among many other psychological issues. However, to get the full effects of omega 3 fatty acids (which include memory sharpness, increased focus and heart health) you would need to eat as much as two pounds of salmon a day. As a result, most people prefer to get their fishy “good mood food” in the form of a dietary supplement. Just make sure that your omega 3 supplements are made from Arctic Circle salmon to insure purity. To learn more about safe, guaranteed-pure omega 3 salmon oil, visit http://www.omega-3.us.
