The National Institutes of Health agrees: Your brain is 60% fat.


Don’t forget omega-3s which, when added to CoQ10, present


powerful brain support. experiences, and the life choices that


you make can shape it at any age,” says neuroscientist Sabina Brennan, Ph.D., author of Beating Brain Fog: Your 30-Day Plan to Think Faster, Sharper, Better.


“What you do and what you don’t do infl uence how resilient your brain will be when faced with aging, injury and disease,” she tells Newsmax. Brennan is also a principal health researcher at Trinity College Dublin in Ireland.


“Living a brain-healthy life is like investing in brain capital that not only optimizes brain function now but also builds reserves that you can cash in to cope with or compensate for disease, damage, or decline,” she says.


“It’s fl exible and adaptable, which means it can change and reorganize itself by growing new connections between neurons.”


Of course, with lower levels of CoQ10, free radicals can do their worst — increasing in the brain and causing oxidative stress. Many health professionals


recommend up to 400 milligrams of CoQ10 daily.


One important study found


have already begun dropping precipitously — as much as 30%, reports the National Institutes of Health. That means the mitochondria —


organelles that are the home base for cell energy — develop defects with age. In time these defects create cell chaos — and that translates to dysfunction in your brain cells. That’s why CoQ10 is so essential


in your diet — and why adding it now is more important than ever.


YOUR SUPERBRAIN ON COQ10 “Your superbrain is constantly changing. Your behavior, your


that 18 people with depression treated with 400 to 800 milligrams per day of CoQ10 for just a month decreased the severity of their symptoms and signifi cantly improved signs of sadness, fatigue, and diffi culty concentrating or brain fog. The study was published in the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology in 2015. But there’s a catch when it comes


to CoQ10. Getting the CoQ10 you need


is tricky — it is poorly absorbed. CoQ10 is fat-soluble — meaning you can increase chances of better absorption when you eat a high-fat


meal with CoQ10-rich foods. Of course, you can steer


clear of a high-fat diet through supplementation to be sure you get what you need. Just supplement smartly. CoQ10 needs an adequate delivery method to ensure it is absorbed by your body. That delivery method came from


scientists who studied how to best get it into your system.


TAKE IN ALL YOU CAN Researchers found that extract from black pepper fruit — piperine — aided absorption by up to 30% compared to CoQ10 alone. Their results were published


in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry. Make sure you choose a quality supplement with this important delivery benefi t.


KEEP YOUR BRAIN FIT “We know that 30% of all cases of Alzheimer’s disease are attributable to . . . modifi able risk factors. If we all adopted brain-healthy habits we could not only keep our own brains young, we could reduce the overall incidence of the disease,” reports Brennan. “My tips: Stay physically, socially,


and mentally active. Keep learning and challenging your brain. “Follow advice for a healthy


heart; manage stress; and make sure you get suffi cient good-quality sleep,” she adds. Don’t forget omega-3s which,


when added to CoQ10, present powerful brain support. “If you become defi cient in


omega-3 you will likely experience memory problems, fatigue, mood swings, and depression,” says Brennan. “Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for brain function.”
