As we age, our brains face unique challenges, from declining memory to increased susceptibility to neurodegenerative diseases. While aging is inevitable, how we age is not. In this final blog of our brain health series, we’ll explore the science behind brain aging, introduce supplements that can help preserve cognitive function, and invite you to our upcoming webinar with Herbalist Elizabeth Parker to dive deeper into the world of herbs for brain health.
Understanding Brain Aging
Aging impacts the brain in several ways:
Neuroinflammation: Chronic inflammation can damage neurons and hinder brain function.
Oxidative Stress: Accumulation of free radicals over time can lead to cellular damage.
Reduced Neuroplasticity: The brain’s ability to adapt and form new connections diminishes with age.
Declining Neurotransmitters: Levels of key chemicals like dopamine and acetylcholine decrease, affecting mood, memory, and cognition.
These changes contribute to common age-related cognitive declines, such as slower processing speed, memory lapses, and reduced focus.
