FEED THE BRAIN WITH OLIVE OIL.
Olive oil has numerous healthy effects, including the prevention of certain brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. Extra virgin oil contains oleocanthal, an ingredient that can prevent nerve cells from being compromised and therefore prevent Alzheimer’s disease. An in vitro study showed that this substance prevents the link between some toxic proteins responsible for the malfunctioning of nerve cells in patients suffering from this pathology (memory loss, cell death and total alteration of brain function) hippocampal neuron’s synapses. Another ealthy effect for brain healthcare due to olive oil is linked to preventing cardiovascular diseases. Hydroxytyrosol can protect neurons and the bain from normal deterioration associated with aging and therefore degenerative diseases.
BENEFITS OF BLUEBERRY
Another useful food for brain health is blueberry. It helps to achieve significant improvements in human memory, even in older people. The use of supplements containing blueberry can prevent or reduce the neurodegeneration process. In fact, blueberries contain flavonoids that exert their healthy effects on learning and memory, improving neuronal connections and cellular communication and stimulating neuronal regeneration.
BENEFITS OF GREEN TEA
Green tea has beneficial effects on psychological stress. According to an estimate made by the WHO, approximately 500 million people suffer from stress. Stress is one of the most important health risk factors. A recent Japanese survey shows that green tea a day can help reduce the effect of psychological stress by compensating physical and mental fatigue. Tea leaves contain numerous compounds, including flavonoids and caffeine. Tea also contains an important amino acid called L-Theanin, which promotes the increase of attention and also has relaxina effects.
THE IMPORTANCE OF CORRECT NUTRACEUTICALS CONERVATION
All nutraceuticals are composed of natural ingredients and it is therefore essential that they are correctly stored in all stages of the production and distribution chain. In this respect it is important that the temperature in which they are transported and stored is always controlled, between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius.
