If you have noticed more “senior moments,” even if you are not old enough to be considered a senior citizen, you may want to use the link above and read their article about increasing your intake of magnesium.
According to research, they have found that magnesium is a key nutrient in memory function and that it may be even more essential for healthy brains than previously thought. Unfortunately, even in industrialized countries, magnesium deficiencies are common.
Dr. Inna Slutsky of Tel Aviv University’s Sackler School of Medicine discovered that a new synthetic magnesium supplement, magnesium-L-theronate (MgT) crosses the blood-brain barrier and helps both young and aging animals to improve memory.
In addition, they discovered that MgT improved the ability to learn as well as enhanced both short-term and long-term memory.
Until MgT becomes available, augment your magnesium levels by adding magnesium-rich foods to your diet. They include green leafy vegetables, broccoli, almonds, cashews, halibut, and soybeans.
