Viagra for the brain

Long search for the "strong medicine" for the brain. Later in the science of old diseases (Geriatrics) appear findings that the brain can be maintained with the potential mengonsumsi some type of natural nutritious substances, and chemical drugs. What?

It is common if the brain functions decrease with increasing age. Pak Wir. through the age of 70 years when he complained often be very forgetful. "What I already senile, Dock?" He said. Must not necessarily be so.

Considering the ability is one of the functions of the brain. However, forget and forget can mean two. Perhaps the only kind of forgot the plural on old age (forgetfullness), or may be a correct senility.
Of course, not all elderly people definitely senile. Some of the factors supporting a role there. Factor genes, for example, create a network of brain damaged changed so shabby as happened in the Alzheimer's Disease. Cases a decrease in other brain functions may be because the brain does not kebugarannya.

Normally, that staying in shape, the brain needs two things: the flow of blood which is always smooth and send oxygen vitamine. For the blood itself must be healthy, normal cell-selnya, and the blood does not coagulate liquids (not beragregasi).

We know, the brain blood flow is also influenced by the strength of the heart pumping blood, in addition to still utuhnya pipe brain blood vessel. The daily course without good blood pressure to the brain that enough, or if the duct pipe is clog the brain, the brain still only make supply of food shortages. In minutes, lack of oxygen supply to the brain to create the network brain damage and die, so that the function of the brain is interrupted and is no longer optimal.

Conversely, the supply of blood to the brain, but the menu is quite a lot of daily shortages, together make the brain cells are no longer in shape. How a short breathing, oxygen in the air that we hirup already thin, banjirnya air pollution, is muasal some of which make the brain cells due to shortness of breath scream. Not yet calculated the effect if it is a daily menu select the type of minimal nutritional food for the brain or lack of oxygen suppliers antarsel of the brain chemical (neurotransmitter).

Neurotransmitter
We already have nearly one hundred types of chemical neurotransmitter for the many functions of the brain. The lack of a brain chemical central antarsel this subject result in brain function. Each function of the brain by a chemical diperankan is vital.

Recent findings point this process also falls in love, for example, is influenced by exposure nuerotransmitter types of dopamine. This is the same process with the emergence of the type of mental disturbance obsesif-kompulsif (National Geographic, Feberuari edition 2006).

In 2000, when the mapping of the brain (Human Brain Mapping) successfully read, have found the brain (claustrum) believed that as the central male sex (Brain G-Spot). Each time the male sex inflame, claustrum otaknya so on, and the flow of blood to it increases. The finding that the creation of promising candidate drug (chemical) that is able to trigger the brain to the spicy, and male sex ago so can hold on.

Long before that, the brain research (after President Bush declares 20th century as Brain Age) also find the center of fear, the death, the long age in the brain. With the findings that there is hope that biotechnology will be able to manipulate the centers in the brain for the purpose of the welfare of mankind.

Although the brain well-kept, cemaran can also whip from the outside, with the result that more or less the same. Free radicals that flow from the air, the menu daily, and the wave elektromagnetik (mobile phone, electric field, the wave of the oven, the display monitor, and other electronic equipment) merongrong lives of the more modern. Mental acuity can decrease by it. As a result, the ability to remember, learning, attention, concentration, and decision-making, does not become more sharp.

The brain also requires a supply of a complete vitamin, especially iron, trace element selenium, in addition to vitamin B group, and omega-3 (DHA). Iron deficiency anemia can reduce cognitive acuity, than can happen mood disturbance, fear, feeling over-tired brain when the mineral selenium deficiency.

Nootropics
Already mentioned above, in order to keep the brain working normal brain blood flow necessary optimal, and the food supply and brain oskigen matches. With other words, increased brain metabolism.

Among the findings about the brain food that is required, the more that ten oxygen exposure is very vital role, in which phosphatidylserine than the increase cognitive function, feeling safe and the view was raised to its normal behavior. With substances that increase mental acuity.

Property is also obtained from the same substances vinpocetine (from plants sprout voaconga), which many used to senility old age, which works to increase blood flow to the brain, in addition to improving the transport of sugar to the brain cells. Then, also found ginkgosides AD leaves of the nutritious ginkgobiloba increase brain blood flow, in addition to improving brain nerve impulse.

We also recognize phenylalanine, of the several types of neurotransmitter. While carnitine is believed penuaan resistor as antioxidants and stimulate some brain neurotransmitter. Hydergine oxygen exposure is also able to increase brain blood flow.

Materials classified in the top of the nootropics or pemacu brain function, and many more are now used as a supplement, other than as "drugs" as nutritious increase brain blood flow, as well as suppliers of food that is suitable for the brain, which means the brain to increase metabolism.

Not Enough Red-Pill
Research particulars how memory was formed in the brain was successfully tracked. In fact some substances have a role in the formation of memory in the brain. Researcher Eric Kendel, Nobel Prize recipient in 2000 (Memory Pharmaceutical) successful track memory ability molecular level in the brain. He found, the substance AMP (Adenosinemonophosphate) holds a major role in the formation of memory.

Further note that the type of CREB (C-AMP response element binding protein) as persisnya substance forming the memory. Eight more fruit and pharmaceutical companies race to create smart this substance, as main contractor on the formation of memory human brain.

Has since started an 50-be possible to create "medicine" to overcome the loss of memory due to increased brain age (age-related memory loss). There are several new drugs to cope with Alzheimer cases. Following then the drug piracetam, amiracetam, oxiracetam, pramiracetam as peningkat specific cognitive ability of the brain.

Type of neurotransmitter that affect the brain diperankan by linopirdine, physostigmin, sabeluzole, tacrine, vasopressine, amantadine, in addition to nicotine and caffeine. Herbal ingredients appear in the type of Ma-Huang, oxymethanol, pyritinol, and BR-16A.

Nutritious materials are now appointed as a "tonic" or "red pill" (Viagra as being "sex tonic" dijuluki as the "blue pill"), who is now busy-busy entrance to the market as a brace of the brain. Here means that the brace to maintain cognitive ability (increase retention, attention, concentration, problem solutions, and decision making).

However, one thing must not be forgotten. Brain blood flow smoothly and that the brain food that is suitable only if not enough oxygen hirup that we are still not adequate. Routines into it the breath that is not integral part of the effort membugarkan the brain.

Another thing that the material above, not to add more brain so smart. Intellect is like a glass. Each person has their own glass kecerdasannya inherited from the father-mother. Upbringing, education, and life experience that will fill the glass of our intellect. Depending on how small we are since diasuh and educated, glass wiliness ours will be fully charged or not, so the brain can perform optimally.

The provision of nutritious ingredients, drugs, food, beverages containing the menu that is suitable for the brain, just keep keoptimalan so that the glass is fully still full, and not give the new schooner intelligences greater.
