Top vitamins and minerals that can help take the edge off
All stress is not bad. Most temporary stress is based on the body’s ability to send chemical messages to other parts of the body that need to take action. Noticing an accident within a few hundred feet ahead of you, stress chemicals known as cortisol are released and you immediately slam on your brakes. When the threat, or the perceived threat is over, your body works to return to normal. In most cases, this goes off without a hitch.
But sometimes, stress lingers and your body continues to sense a threat, real or imagined. When this happens, the sympathetic nervous system stays chronically stimulated, risking long-term health problems, which can include anything from migraines, anxiety disorders, high blood pressure, depression, heart disease, a compromised immune system, alcoholism, muscle pain, fatigue, insomnia and even death.

Exciting clinical studies reveal that the right nutrition for the brain might actually slow the progression of illnesses like Alzheimer’s. Vital nutrients may actually improve our quality of life, and help us live longer and healthier lives. What more could we possible hope for?
According to the Alzheimer’s Association, “The likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s doubles about every five years after age 65. After age 85, the risk reaches nearly 50 percent.”1 (more…)

Resveratrol May Help Memory Association with Aging
Research studies show that resveratrol helps protect the brain. However, a new study was just conducted to learn more about how resveratrol helps the brain.
According to Environmental Health News, “Results from a newly published laboratory study show the compound may slow the development of protein clumps – called amyloid fibrils. The fibrils – made of beta-amyloid protein – ultimately aggregate into the distinctive plaques commonly found in Alzheimer’s patients.”
It is resveratrol that has been shown in a recent study to play a unique role in maintaining the structure and function of the brain. Res-Q Resveratrol, a high quality resveratrol supplement can be purchased by calling 1-800-26-ALIVE.

Antioxidants Support the Brain
Antioxidants may help maintain brain health and help prevent mild memory loss associated with the natural process of aging. In fact, potent antioxidants and omega-3’s are important natural components of the diet that help maintain brain health throughout the lifespan.
Overproduction of free radicals can cause damage to the brain. For example, when imbalances occur between free radicals and the body’s ability to neutralize them, good health can be in danger! (more…)

Res-Q 1250, our high-po
tency omega-3 supplement, helps maintain a healthy mood.
The increased prevalence of mental illness and the surge of new medications may indicate a greater need for prevention and the need to focus on the health of the brain.
EPA Study
Patients diagnosed with major depression disorder were given the fatty acid EPA, medication, or EPA plus medication for 8 weeks. The combination of treatment with the omega-3 fatty acid EPA plus the medication was “significantly better” than either treatment alone. In conclusion, omega-3 supplements containing EPA are beneficial to the health of the brain. Furthermore, the fatty acid EPA is as important as DHA for complete mental health. (more…)

More DHA for Healthy Babies!
Omega-3 fatty acids, such as DHA, play a role in producing healthy babies. Mom’s diet is so important to unborn babies, since healthy babies rely on mom’s nutritional diet. Healthy babies also rely on DHA from breast milk.
If mom is deficient in DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid, then the baby will be deficient in DHA! Omega-3 fatty acids like DHA, are good beneficial fats that promote brain development. In fact, the majority of the brain is fat of which DHA represents a portion of the brain.
A new randomized, controlled clinical-trial shows that more DHA is better for healthy babies. (more…)

Smoking increases risk of Alzheimer’s disease
Antioxidants can help us live longer. Everyone can benefit from antioxidants, but if you are a smoker, it may be even more important to take antioxidants. It was recently reported that older adults who smoke have an increased risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease. Of course, quitting smoking would be the best thing to do.
Free radicals harm the brain
Clinical studies on Alzheimer’s disease show a connection between free radicals and Alzheimer’s disease. Free radicals, which are by-products of normal bodily processes, can be harmful in excess quantities. Free radicals can be triggered by pollution and smoking.
Smoking triggers excess free-radical production.
Free radicals attack cells. The attacked cells attack more cells causing a chain reaction of damage to the body. This happens because free radicals are missing an electron and steal electrons from other atoms, then those atoms are missing electrons. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals by lending an electron or by otherwise stabilizing the free radicals so the free radical does not harm the body.
Modern diets lack antioxidants
Diets lacking sufficient fruits and vegetables may lack antioxidants. Supplementing the diet with antioxidants can benefit health and increase longevity. Studies show that using multiple antioxidants works better than using just one antioxidant. Studies show that antioxidants can help maintain a healthy brain.
Antioxidants help maintain a healthy brain
One of our best antioxidant products is Res-Q CellPower. Another great antioxidant product that helps protect the brain from free radicals is Res-Q Resveratrol. Research shows that using the ingredients in both products together would produce maximum benefits for the health of the brain. Res-Q Multi, our heart healthy multivitamin, contains vitamins, minerals, heart-healthy ingredients, and a variety of antioxidants also.

An omega-3 article, sent to us courtesy of one of our Res-Q customers, speaks of a coal miner rescued from carbon monoxide poisoning by a potent omega-3 supplement. The doctor, having read about the health benefits of fish-oils, decided to give large doses of omega-3 from a fish oil in an attempt to restore health. This is a true miracle. I have included a section from the article:
“…in less than six months the damage to his heart, kidneys and liver had been reversed. His brain showed signs of neural growth and his memory had improved. He gradually regained his speech and vision, as well as his ability to walk…”

The omega-3 fatty acids help support a normal brain function. Adults take Res-Q 1250. A lot of studies in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition have been conducted on children. However, adults may obtain the same results. Some of our customers tell us that their children pay attention better, sit and focus longer than they used to.
Low levels of omega-3 fatty acids have been found in these children. Since omega-3 has to be converted into EPA and DHA, supplementation with a potent grade of EPA/DHA is necessary because the body gets a direct supply of EPA and DHA. Therefore, supplementation may help correct the deficiency.
If a poor dietary intake or a poor ability to metabolize omega-3 into active omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA is happening, then supplementing the diet with a direct source of EPA and DHA, such as Res-Q 1250, would be beneficial to restore levels.
Omega-3 fatty acids are important to the brain development, health, structure and function of the brain which is comprised of fats. It has been suggested that the type of fat consumed can affect the function of the brain. Only from specific fatty fish can we obtain a sufficient amount of the good omega-3 fats from diet. Due to the fact that children don’t like fish, fish is not consumed often enough, and safety issues surround fish consumption, if you are looking for a very good supplement to give your child, a pure, safe omega-3 fatty acid supplement would be very beneficial to supplement the diet to help ensure that omega-3 is obtained. Your brain relies on omega-3 fatty acids for proper health and function.

All stress is not bad. Most temporary stress is based on the body’s ability to send chemical messages to other parts of the body that need to take action. Noticing an accident within a few hundred feet ahead of you, stress chemicals known as cortisol are released and you immediately slam on your brakes. When the threat, or the perceived threat is over, your body works to return to normal. In most cases, this goes off without a hitch.
