The Best Nutrient to Boost Learning

Let’s talk about the best nutrient for improving your ability to learn. And I’m talking about aphysical reason and nutrient deficiency creating this. Because there are a lot of other reasonswhy people can’t learn simply because they’ve never been taught how to learn something. That’sa whole different topic. I’m going to talk about what can happen in your body as far as a deficiencythat can slow down or inhibit your ability to learn something. Well, it has to do with the

structure in the brain called the hippocampus. Now, the hippocampus is a structure in the brainthat has everything to do with learning and spatial memory, your ability to locate where youare in time and space and remember things like where you parked your car. To be totally transparent,they don’t exactly know 100% what this does exactly, but it’s associated with learningand memory and spatial memory. I just wanted to point that out. We know there’s some type

of connection with the hippocampus. And we do know that the omega-3 fatty acid, DHA,makes up 20% of the gray matter in your brain. And it really supports the retina. DHA is soimportant with your brain and your nervous system. And your retina is an extension of your brain.Okay, so it allows you to see. So DHA decreases oxidative stress. It decreases inflammation.It’s a powerful antioxidant. It increases BDNF, brain-derived neurotrophic factors.

This is something that helps your brain grow. It helps increase neurons. Also, DHA has theability to increase the volume of your hippocampus. As you age, this structure shrinks and it canaffect your learning and your memory. Also, when you’re DHA deficient, this can also get smaller.Taking this omega-3, you can greatly support the hippocampus and improve your ability to learn.DHA is involved with synapses, the communication between the neurons. But what I also wanted to

mention, if you’re deficient in DHA, you could actually get ADHD, attention deficit hyperactivitydisorder. There’s a lot of research on that. I put some links down below. So if you know of someonethat has this or dyslexia, have them start taking DHA. What DHA can do for a small childor even a baby is huge. A mother who’s pregnant needs to take this fatty acid for sure.a mother who’s breastfeeding needs to take it. The formation of the brain and the retina

for a growing child depends on DHA. If an infant is not breastfed, they’re fed formula.The entire structure, the makeup of the retina is completely formed differently than a child’sretina with breast milk. The one really simple thing you could do is you could probably get itin a liquid, give it to your infant, give it to your kids. It can even influence IQ and the mentalcapacity of that child. And the best sources of DHA would be right here, fatty fish, cod liver oil,

and you can also get it in algae. If you haven’t seen my video on the brain,check it out. I put it right here.Thank you.
