How to Future-Proof Your Brain: Preventing Dementia and Boosting Performance
Unleash your brain's hidden potential with Patrick Holford, who in this bitesize edition, reveals the electrifying truth that your brain is a powerhouse of fat and protein, and you're likely running it on empty.
Also, discover the four "Horsemen of the Mental Health Apocalypse"—from sugar to missing B vitamins—that are sabotaging your focus and dramatically increasing your risk of dementia
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
Your Brain is Composed of Fat and Protein: The brain's structure is predominantly fat (over 60% of its dry weight) and protein. White matter consists of fatty insulation (like electrical wires), and grey matter is made of the neuron bodies
Optimal Nutrition is the Foundation of High Performance: High performance in any area, including sports, starts with a properly functioning brain
The Four Horsemen of Mental Health Decline: Patrick identifies four key factors that negatively impact brain health: brain fats (Omega-3, Vitamin D, phospholipids), methylation (B vitamins), sugar, and antioxidants
Dementia is Not Inevitable: Apart from a small number of cases caused by rare, early-onset genes (less than 1%), developing dementia is not a necessity.
TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS:
01:48 - Analogy of the Brain Structure
3:55 - Groundbreaking IQ Study
05:28 - Four Horsemen Of Mental Health
06:65 - The Link Between Exercise and Brain Mass
