the Worst Kind of Shrinkage

Good Old Saying:
"If you don't use it, you lose it"

Better New Saying:
"If you stress it, you shrink it"

At least as far as your brain is concerned.

Some rat studies at the Neuroendocrinology
Lab at Rockefeller University in NYCity showed
that stress caused their brains to shrink.

They lost their mental flexibility, which
points to trouble with the attention/decision-making
part of the brain (called the prefrontal cortex).

That's bad news for us humans. Because the
pre-frontal cortex is about the only thing
we've got going for us (besides the opposable
thumb).

It's what helps us think, create, imagine,
solve problems. It's what allows us to
invent a computer--and the funny ads to sell
it.

But stress shuts it down. Overloads it.
Shrinks it.

That's why it's hard to concentrate, think,
create, imagine when you're stressed.

And that makes the stress cycle all the more
vicious.

One way to get ahead of the stress cycle is to
get more magnesium. Because stress drains
your magnesium; and being short on magnesium
makes you stress out more easily.

And so it goes.

Leafy greens, vegetables and mineral water
are all good sources of magnesium.

Or at least the should be. But our modern
farming has left our veggies nearly empty.
That's why it's important to supplement with
magnesium...because modern life is stressful
and modern food doesn't have much magnesium
in it.

That's why Mega Magnesium is part of my
Core Four

Especially because magnesium protects your
DNA at every point while it's copied and
turned into new cells.

Reducing stress helps your brain grow bigger;
more magnesium helps you decrease stress and
build better cells.

Live like you Mean it...and protect your
precious Humanity

PS If it seems like your clothes are shrinking,
it may be time to make a change. And I don't
mean get bigger clothes. Get new clothes, but
a few sizes smaller by joining the Dr. Vince
Caveman Club.

My friend asked me if I still had the pants from
my Before picture...and I do, but I had them
taken up. They were literally falling off my
body.

That's a great problem to have. Better your
waistline shrinking than your outfits.
