you can we're going to talk today about food for a healthy brain this is so important because it's possible and we don't think about it certain types of chemicals certain types of nutrients that we're not getting in our bodies even when we're twenty thirty forty years old have a high correlation for people getting all simers and dementia in recent years ima reach some of this to you because i think the research is there is profound in recent years research have been really looking at which nutrients and eating patterns are specially helpful or harmful for brain function studies have found that certain foods keep your brain healthy and protect all of your mental facilities as you get older and that's a key now what so often are anti aging medicine is showing the prevention of all simers and dementia and if we can be prevented we've got to start talking about it and really gettin going now so the brain regulates the entire body i mean and that's key and also the brain that influences your immune system and your immune system and affects the brain everything goes down to brain protect the brain how can you know inflammation is one of the key things or medicine is talking about now everything from holistic medicine down there fighting the effect of inflammation how do you get information it's a byproduct of your not being able to digest certain foods and to regulate your body system many of these such as herbs and spices also have powerful anti oxidant effects now fruits and vegetables that have dark skins maintain your highest with the antioxidants and that's really important that the key fruits that i think are good for brain boosting nutrients are blueberries strawberries plums red or black grapes and ok if you want to glass or red wine that's probably there also another big key in keeping your mental facilities sharp and ninety eight is keeping your community cation flowing your brain talks to itself your brain cells communicate an anti inflammatory foods can get the communication flowing and keeps going that's leafy green vegetables such as broccoli kale kills wonderful people go oh kale steam a little kale put some you know vinegar on it you know you can make kale chips spinach are all high and antioxidants a plant yellow orange and green bell peppers so it's important because the studies are just profound when it comes to keeping the communication of the synapse going in your brain yes people say well can i play crossword puzzles and can i do some of this and we say of course that's always good but if you don't have the nutrients to be able to keep yourself you know very very sharp about doing reading or teaching or keeping yourself active if you don't have the sustenance isn't the right nutrients nothing's going to help now also the power of the omega the omega three the mega sixes and almost the most  brain friendly sources are these specially or fats are mega for three fatty acids which are key components of cell membranes and are particularly concentrated in the nervous system nerve tissues use omega three as building blocks for cells so cold water fish like salmon trout mackerel you know i have a bit sardines and charities like those also there's plant the plant sources of a mega three are coconut coconut oil wallets credibly high hemp seeds canola oil flax seeds and again you've got to maintain the power of the mega now so many many psychiatry are trying to help people especially young people they put on antidepressants with trying to get bill graham with the a mega threes and you using a lot of bad the other one is sunshine on my shoulders sunshine for a better brain vitamin d absolutely helps to regulate the growth and the development of nerve cells in your your whole brain is is clocked by nerve cells and also supports the stem cells that make new brain tissues i mean d ok lower vitamin d is associated with lower performance on cognitive tests and you know you really need to really get your vitamin c d tested so that you understand this you know some of the things that and so one of the things i think is also very good with keeping your brain active and functionally are spices some of the spices that are powerful for that have the highest antioxidant contat grab clothes dried dried rosemary time to marie you know that ground cinnamon dried parsley now look at the essence of this we can do something about it why not at forty years old thirty years old start to  even our children who are maybe eighty h t or have things that are cognitive issues let's start looking at some of the things that we can do with food as medicine for brain power thank you yury i'm a holistic health professional and welcome to stay in well with dr mary jo t for good the healing properties of herbal teas you know it's become very fashionable i'd like to introduce shana to you and what i would like to really understand and really get a quasi in our state in well is the one full combinations here is a triple green here's one flower power so shannon tell us a little bit more you're really studying herbals and you're making your own teas and delicious by the way i have my favorites but tell us a little bit more about sharing how important these are and what the healing properties of teas are synthesize chemicals and us as close to health professionals feel the herbs can oftentimes be safer and more effective in the long run and more delicious good to hear today i have a few of my glands all start with my be delicious so here we have triple green this fall and which contains three different types of green tea is an excellent coffee alternative it's tying into accidents amino acids minerals  caffeine as long as well as other powerful components that help give you an energy boost without a crash so here on the other side of things we have the lariam seat which is a powerful so people that suffer from issues like insomnia or severe anxiety might benefit from th it's a delicious cooling treat great hot or cold day or night medicinally it could be used for non theists and a gesture in headaches or just a mild sedative before bad and then last but not least we have the marshmallow child which warming in stimulates the digestive fire add a bit of milk and honey for a real treat and get yourself some dessert so there's a little bit about me tease you know what question i have which is interesting to me you know i eliminating the back of this you can measure it out yourself some people make their teeth stronger some people like them not as strong and since some of these have been a small qualities it's good to be able to measure them yourself so you have formulas that you kind of know when you've studied i know you're studying you know one of our courses is herbal education and you're studying all the herbals and all the healing properties so to have a background in herbs i think gives you an idea of how to make a tease but then you know like so much of the lavender goes in with so much of  mint and then you do go through trial and error like make a pot and taste exactly a lot of it is based on taste but some of these herbs are stronger than others so when i have a goal set in mind for this specific warnings and want to know how much of this urban i have to use to achieve this in fact someone's going forward and where in you know i think that people don't realize a big can go to certain co ops and get their own europe so explain a little bit about that when we have some great  lines and you know as we kind of come to a conclusion on this one of the most healing things you can do is to understand the types of herbs and behave like channing was explain what healing properties you can even put your own blends together and see what you like and i think they use in the balkans a little bit better than just going to getting that box of it with the bags i mean that's good too if you're traveling but i have just very happy to have been able to introduce these teas to you because i think this is one way know i'm dr mary george noory and i'm a holistic health professional and welcome to staying well with dr mary jo we are talking about tumor eight today and you know it's very interesting in india to marry because one of the top spices they call it the spice of life they often say hey hello to the power of the halti which is what they're talking about with to make now also you will not find an indian dish that's mac curry based that is not the stem root of it all to marie because these are medically and evidence based and i'm really really excited about that because again i often he well the things that you talk about the things with herbs and things of homeopathy these are not evidence based and it's not true and when i go into and i see the studies they're using for information the steve the studies are using with pancreatic cancer with tumors so let me share with you some of the benefits and i'll give you a little bit of some of the research that's going on so let's start with some of the benefits ok and let's look at the anti cancer properties huge according to the many of the studies that i've looked up at u c l a kirk human remember that's the ingredient in term rate that gives it its power was found to block the growth of cancer by inhibiting cells signaling between cancer cells they're also doing incredible studies with pancreatic cancer and one of the things pancreatic cancer is a very difficult cancer but they're saying that not only is too marie you know preventable with pancreatic cancer but they're using it in rehabbing pancreatic cancer are they saying that the forty five to fifty percent of pancreatic cancer can be reduced and or absolutely prevented with to break and make is also a hugely high anti oxidant very very high the thing that i was it was new to me and some of the things that i looked at was a skin benefits thing that i find the most success and i use this in my practice a lot is the huge anti inflammatory joints arthritis rheumatoid osteoarthritis they when you work we have to make if you're using it for something like that if you want to take capsules you can actually use the root the you know if you specially if you drive a root and you can actually gland it and move it move it into a pot or you can just put it into gelatin capsules or you can buy some and we'll talk about that in a second but take the capsules and  you take them every day just like you're doing what you're taking any vitamins now the other thing with the joints of the have had success with great success is to heat to marry with like a lime juice and then make a paste and while it's hot they put it right over the bike if you have some arthritis in the wrist and they really pulls out now one thing that i've always used for headaches and things which is an implementation is to do a foot bath soak your feet and hot water but it in that a whole taste teaspoon of mustard i had some tumor guy actually take the powder and add some to make to it and then you take that and you put a little bit of kind of pepper because pepper when you use black pepper cayenne pepper with to make it enhanced as the the success of the tumor by two thousand fold actually so you soak your feet it honestly you'll just feel everything being drawn down so we use that a lot for migraines now becomes too problematic the cataracts can be thick well that reduces the oxidation of this another big one which they're really doing tons of research on especially in cancer is the liver function this  make increases the detox and zines which help to eliminate toxins that actually the tumor is generally starts to move through and paul toxins out of the body and also decreases and this is this is actually very evidence based also decreases the l d l which is the bad cholesterol now one thing that i think that we haven't had enough information on is the blood function and the when i have studied use that a lot especially in india and in all of their recipes because they feel that it's a blood purifier that's what they say in essence that it's a it's of love to your fire so let's look at this now ok you have the root and when we are working with especially when we're working with doing something with that you can do it you know to break is also part of the family of our ginger and ginger same thing you can see the difference  actual tomb recruit is slightly yellow you see that and of course the ginger is is a much lighter color but they're from the same family and i think taking the to marie right from of the especially the root is very powerful yes the powder and when you work with the powder you want to make sure that you get the powder that's take a break from the ro can actually take if you want to take a look at this you can actually take a you know an r p m work and you just gently just take it and does move it right through look at that beautiful orange color this is the and this is the curriculum beds in there and you can really see the difference this pier with very simple i like to keep fresh turmeric around because i can actually just peel it ok and then i can take it and i can actually just put it right you know just take of a greater i can use it my salads i can put it in my soups and that's all you have to do it's that simple when you get to doing the holistic rehab or detox you actually many centers that you go to like hippocrates is a good example to recruits out there all the time and they have a little grinder a little piece if you do that to bury them and you have all the tumor great here so there is easy it's easy it's accessible you can cut it into slices you can make tease out of it and i also want to make sure that you know bat the always to make and ginger in ninety nine percent of the good anti inflammatories natural anti inflammatories you use you're going to see you know you may have by the way a you're going to have ginger you're going to have  an lemon and to marry ginger to make ginger so these are two of the better ones that i like with the with with with these also we have a monopolist who makes us temperatures and guess what her see it it's a it's a reddish color when you heat to a brick when you heat it it's basically will turn into a paste if you put it with water when you add it to a teacher it turns into that beautiful reddish color and you just use so many drops of it you could put this in teas but this is a very good way to work it again i think is just very powerful to actually take the root and like i showed you to peel it and does have it sitting there and ready to use very simple now for people who are on the go want to get you know it's interesting because it does take the more tumor e q use the better you feel with it so it's not something like you could overdose on it if you want to get a little to go to most your health food stores and you're going to you can get to her tablets now i think it's best you get it you get the tablets that you will say made directly from the root and not processed because again the closer you can get to visit beautiful ro one of my training is whenever i would work with my yoga my ashrams is basically we would drink golden milk all the time now here's what you do you take b powder take a half a cup and reduce what you want to start out with a happy couple good water a half a cup of two marie and basically it takes about seven to nine minutes and you keep adding the water to it because once you once you start just keep it's much better because you know one of the beach some of the stuff out of the from the plastics you want to keep it two or three weeks but then what you do is you take a happen teaspoon and you just met you're going to make like a like a milk with it now you're and just kind of it turns a light cold and carve a hence they call it golden milk four to five minutes just that kind of almost boil up and just keep stirring it now add a little honey that taste first because if you use allman that's going to be sweet and help add a little bit of honey maple syrup or stevia and then mix it all up poor it into the cup and then add at the very end don't cook with it but add in the cup add some good oil sesame i think is tastes very good or you'll go to toil that has some coconut oil sometimes i put a little bit of this maybe a half of a teaspoon of coconut oil and this actually just kind of  stirred around the oil just brings the quality of the richness to the cold american and then you drink it young kids love it when whenever i'd work with my yoga centers and we would just prepare that every morning we just lay put the cups out there we used a lot of all the milk with it and then it is strange that now the benefits to marie are profound and i thank you for being with us and listening to this at the end i'm going to put up the recipe that i just talked about for gold and mel and i'm going to put out more benefits of what you can do with it and what how to make certain pace so to stay well please include to make in your program thank you so much
