Keeps your Mind Young like DaVinci
Riddles. Wrapped inside puzzles. Dark tunnels leading nowhere. Connections and interconnections, looping back on themselves like a snake eating its own tail. Confused.Bewildered. Dizzy.
And that was just the first day of my Central Nervous System class.
One good thing I did learn in that class was that the Mind manages and directs your body through your brain. But yourMind is bigger than your brain. And the expression of yourMind will definitely be limited by how well your brain is working.
How do I know? Because I've held a human brain in my hand. I cut it into little pieces. Poked it. And prodded it. But there was no Life. No thought. No creativity. Just a brain.
The Mind is what makes it all possible. What some people call the Thinker behind the Thought.
One of the Minds I admire most is Leonardo DaVinci. Backin 5th grade, my friend's father started calling me 'DaVinci'. The nickname didn't stick, but the passion for art, engineering and the human frame sure did.
The 'real' DaVinci was an artist, an engineer, a creator, a thinker. His thoughts, art, and discoveries took his world (and ours) to a higher level of consciousness and understanding.
But none of it would have been possible without his Mind. DaVinci worked, thought and created until he was 67 years old. But today many people younger than that don't have full use of their brain. Alzheimer's Disease is ruining their lives--and robbing us of their Minds.
But there's good news. A recent study from Portugal shows how we can protect ourselves against Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's is caused, in part, by compounds called "amyloid beta peptides". Amyloid beta peptides are toxic to the brain in two ways. They damage the mitochondria ('powerhouse' of the cell) and increase oxidative stress.
The researchers chose CoQ10 for their experiment. CoQ10 helps produce energy in the mitochondria and is a potent antioxidant. So they thought it would be a good candidate for preventing these neuro-toxic effects.
Turns out it was a Great choice: the experiments showed that CoQ10 did indeed counteract the toxic effects of amyloid beta peptides that contribute to Alzheimer's.
Since CoQ10 levels naturally decline as we get older, the study authors strongly recommend the use of supplemental coenzyme Q10 for enhanced protection against Alzheimer's disease.
So do I. That's one reason CoQ10 is part of the Core 4 http://www.drvinceonline.com/core4.htm

P.S. Leonardo DaVinci said: "Iron rusts from disuse; stagnant water loses its purity and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind."
"Dr. DaVinci" says: Take action now. Don't let inaction sap the vigor of your mind. Don't let amyloid beta peptides sap your brain. Get some pharmaceutical-grade CoQ10 http://www.drvinceonline.com/coq10.htm and protect your brain and the Mind that works through it.
Who knows? Youmight just change the world.
