Does Brain Fog Have You Feeling Down?
The area of brain health regarding the topic of nootropics has remained relatively unpublicized in the nutraceutical realm. Because of this many haven’t heard of them yet.
What is a Nootropic?
A nootropic is a molecule that has been shown to help support and improve cognitive functions such as attention, creativity, and memory. They may be natural, synthetic, or semi-synthetic. Nootropics are often sold in the form of energy drinks, supplements, and nutraceuticals. They are also found in the pharmacological world as both prescription and nonprescription drugs. They may also sometimes be referred to as smart drugs.
For any substance to be called a nootropic, it Read More
The state of Brain Fog refers to times when a person may feel not so sharp or on top of things. For all of their good intentions, they cannot seem to mentally organize themselves or get their brain in gear. It is a frustrating feeling. You may have a lot to do and feel physically and emotionally unable to keep up or get ahead. It is as if your mind is stuck in a fog, you cannot see clearly through.
It is characterized by feeling easily confused, forgetting what you are doing, lack of focus, lack of drive, a drop in energy, and memory issues.

At birth, our bodies are completely new. Every cell has a super-fast turnover and replication because we are created and designed to grow rapidly from infant to adulthood in just 18 short years. With this speedy cellular replacement comes fast healing and resilience. We have a naturally youthful glow.
As we begin to get further into adulthood, that replication slows down as we are at our destination in so far as growth in terms of height, weight, and feature development. By the age of 25 things have slowed quite a lot and rather than be in a pattern of growth things begin to reverse. We can begin to age.

All of the energy | None of the side effects!
Energy drinks are readily sold over the counter without any kind of prescription in every grocery and convenience store in the United States. There is no age restriction, and no regulation and warning labels are printed on the can in small almost unnoticeably small fonts.
Drinks like Monster, Red Bull, Bang, Rockstar, Reign, Full Throttle, Amp, NOS, and more all offer a strong burst of noticeable energy. Most are much stronger than coffee.
While one drink here or there will likely have no negative effect on your health, many drink them daily, sometimes exceeding the recommendation of no more than one per Read More
There is a lot of focus on emotional well-being and mental health right now. This whole push in society as a movement towards self-care is fantastic.
The goal, I think everyone can agree on, is to feel calm, cool, and collected. Pleased with life, able to be healthy, happy, and grateful, to think clearly, and be actively taking steps to create the life you want to live.
What there doesn’t seem to be is a lot of information or focus on the physical health aspect of the brain itself as one of the primary organs in the human body. Your brain needs the proper food, fuel, and nutrients in order to Read More
“Nutraceutical Science”
We have been inundated with this term over and over in the health-related news lately when it comes to supplements, but do you know what it means?
Nutraceutical is a relatively new hybrid term for ‘nutrition’ and ‘pharmaceutical’. The term was coined by Stephen De Felice, founder and chairman of the Foundation for Innovation in Medicine (FIM) in 2010.
Nutraceutical is an umbrella term that helps to describe food, food additives, and dietary supplements which can provide health or medical benefits as well as the basic nutrition derived from the food itself.
The foods used in dual roles from nutrition to supplementation can be labeled as nutraceuticals. These are also sometimes Read More
