3 Habits That Are Ruining Your
Brain And How To Repair The
Damage
Read This Report to Find Out What These 3 Things Are
and How to Repair the Damage You've Already Done to
Your Brain...
If you’re over 40 and are afraid your memory isn’t as good as it used to be,
you need to stop and read this report.
Have you noticing your memory slipping and finding it harder and
harder to recall words or names?
You’re not alone.
If you are 40 years old or older, you may already feel the frustrations of
forgetting where you left your keys or repeatedly forgetting why you
walked into a room. You may know the embarrassment of forgetting a
thought in the middle of a sentence or the aggravation of not being able
to focus for more than 30 seconds at a time.

You probably ask yourself is this normal, age related memory loss... or
something much more serious?
Unfortunately, the terrifying symptoms of dementia start with mild
memory loss.
But it doesn’t have to be this way…
You do NOT have to accept a failing memory as a natural part of getting
older.
There are 3 things you may be doing every day that are accelerating
your memory loss and possibly setting you down the path towards
dementia.
In the next few minutes I’m going to share with you those 3 things are that
you need to stop doing TODAY.
Then I’m going to tell you how to help repair the damage you’ve already
done to your memory and how to decrease your risk of getting
dementia.
Hi, I’m Russell and I’m one of the most sought
after experts in brain health and performance
in America. I work with a team of doctors and
scientists with over 80 years combined clinical
expertise working to improve brain health. Our
goal is to help you get a healthy brain and
reverse your memory damage, but I’ll get to that in a minute.
Did you know there are currently over 36 million people worldwide with
dementia? With the aging baby boomer population, that number is only
going to explode.
The scariest statistic I have heard is according to the World Health
Organization, if you’re over the age of 40, you personally have an
almost 1 in 2 chance of getting dementia.

And if your memory is already starting to fail you, you need to take action
today or you risk it getting worse and worse as you age.
The esteemed director at the UCLA Memory Clinic, Dr. Gary
Small says, “The only cure for Alzheimer’s is prevention.”

Let me repeat that –
“The only known cure for Alzheimer’s is PREVENTION!”
There is more money spent on brain research than on cancer research
today. There are literally thousands of scientific studies that prove what I’m
about to share with you. Thousands of clinical studies on how to improve
your memory, reduce your risk of getting dementia and how to get a better
life, today.
It all starts with getting a healthy brain.
Everything you do from thinking to moving, to the way you look, to the way
you feel is affected by how healthy your brain is. Taking care of your brain
should come before everything else in your life. Your relationships, your
work and your physical health all depend on your brain functioning at its
best.
Why do you get the flu? It isn’t because you don’t have enough vitamin C.
It’s because your immune system has been compromised by a virus.
What controls your immune system? Your BRAIN.
Why do you feel anxiety and stress? It’s because your endocrine system is
producing too much adrenaline into your body.
What controls your endocrine system? Your BRAIN.
Why is your memory worse as you get older? It’s because your central
nervous system is decaying from a lack of nutrients and oxygen.
What controls central nervous system?
Starting to get the picture?
Your BRAIN Does.
Listen: Your brain is the control center for every function in your
body. Having a healthy brain will make your entire body healthier.
One of the primary reasons your memory is failing and you have no energy
is that your brain is full of toxins.

And, believe me I know how a toxic brain can
affect your life.
A few years ago my dad called to tell me that our
beloved aunt, his sister, was diagnosed with
Alzheimer’s disease.
If you have dementia or Alzheimer’s in your
family, I’m sure you know how devastating this
news can be. The toll it takes on family members
can be just as tough as or sometimes even tougher than it does on the
actual person with the disease.
My dad said he had been noticing more frequently that his sister would get
stories or names wrong. She would drift off in the middle of conversations.
One time, she didn’t even recognize his voice when he called. He was
heartbroken which crushed me.
He recommended we all fly over to Sweden that summer where she lived
because it was advancing quickly. He was afraid if we waited any longer that
she wouldn’t remember us or worse, she’d be dead.
I couldn’t believe it.
We had never had dementia or Alzheimer’s in our family and I always felt
very fortunate around that.
I reached out to my cousins, her kids, and heard about the real
devastation. It made me so sad to hear this calm gentle woman was now
lashing out at her kids. She needed them around most of the time now and
especially when she wanted out of the house because she would often
forget how to return home. They were looking at hiring full time help to make
sure she didn’t leave the stove on or do any harm to herself. It was going to
cost more than they could afford, and depression was setting in on the
whole family.
Everyone was angry and stressed financially and emotionally.
Copyright 2014 Simple Smart Science All Rights Reserved
Afraid of what this meant for me and my family I decided to do some
research on my own around Alzheimer’s, dementia and memory problems.
What I found shocked me.
With Alzheimer’s in my family, my risk of getting it skyrocketed. There is a
gene that gets passed from parents to kids that plays a part in the
development of Alzheimer’s and dementia.
Not only that, I had recently noticed I
was having my own memory lapses. I
was finding it harder and harder to
recall words and I often found myself
forgetting appointments.
Worse, my friends and family kept
telling me that I didn’t listen… the
truth is I didn’t remember what they
said.
The more I got into the research, the
more I realized that my lifestyle played just as an important role as my
genetic code.
I became increasingly alarmed.
You see, this was at a time when I was living under constant stress. I never
exercised and a diet of hamburgers, pizza and beer was the norm.
So with Alzheimer’s diagnosed in my family, not only was my risk of getting
it high, I was increasing the risk with my toxic lifestyle.
The thought of my aunt losing her memories of her own children, her
confusion and emotional rollercoaster made me never want to put my own
family through the same heart break.
But what could I do about it?
Unfortunately, there wasn’t anything I could do for my aunt. Once you have
dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, there is no cure. There are supplements
Copyright 2014 Simple Smart Science All Rights Reserved
and drugs you can take to reduce the rate of decay, but you can’t stop the
decay.
Yes, I was scared of getting dementia, but it was way more than that.
My memory was shot. I was under so much pressure with work and family
that I could barely remember what day it was. I wanted my old, smart, happy
self back. My brain was screaming at me and I had to start listening to it or
risk dying.
So far, I am lucky and I don’t have dementia.
But how could I help my failing memory?
As luck would have it, a friend of mine introduced me to an incredible group
of scientists that changed the entire course of my life. This team of scientists
had years of brain health research behind them and after just one phone call
with them, I made brain health my life’s work.
Brain health became my passion.
And that is when I learned there were 3 things I was doing EVERY DAY that
was making me so forgetful and launching me down the path towards
dementia.
And they had to STOP.
After making these simple changes, I started to feel alive again. In just
about 14 days… My friends started noticing I looked and acted younger.
Work became easier.
My attention span was laser focused.
I could feel this elevated energy throughout my body all day.
In short, not only was I back, I felt better than ever.
Yes, I know what it feels like to have a toxic, failing brain. But I also know
how easily it can be reversed and how it feels to live in an energized and
focused state every day.

I have become so passionate about brain health that I brought these
scientists on to my team permanently. Together, we teach people what they
are doing that is harming their brains.
If you stop doing the 3 things I’m about to share with you, you can start
changing your life in as short as 14 days.
But none of this will make sense unless you first have an understanding of
how your brain functions.
The Problem Inside Your Brain
Stress, Age, Processed Foods, Prescription
Drugs, Pollution....
All of these contribute to a toxic brain.
Your brain produces a chemical cocktail every day to keep your mind and
your body running… everything from
endorphins making you happy to adrenaline
helping you perform under stress.
When your brain either over or under produces
the chemicals it needs, it gets out of balance.
Most of the time, you simple get tired, irritable
and emotionally withdrawn. Sometimes, this
chemical imbalance can lead to illness and
even death.
Your brain gets slower and slower due to this toxic build up.
The first question to ask:
Is it possible to give your brain exactly what it needs, naturally, so that it can
clear itself of toxins and perform at its best?
The answer is, thankfully, YES!

Dr. Small insists that you can create new neural pathways and alter your
brain activity at a biochemical level.
A healthy brain = a healthy body.
Now, let’s cut to the chase.
Here are 3 little known destructive habits that are eating
away at your brain and leading you down the path to more
memory loss.
#1 Toxic Offender Damaging Your Brain:
Not getting enough
sleep.
How much sleep did you get last
night? Did you wake up feeling like a
kid this morning like I did?
How about those nights where you
toss and turn all night?
You are slowly killing your brain if you
are not getting enough sleep.
The average person needs 7-8 hours
of sleep a night. The average
American gets 6.
There is NO WAY your brain will be
healthy enough to fight off disease if you are lacking in sleep.
Sleep is critical to your health. Our nervous systems need a good night’s
sleep to heal and work properly.
While you sleep, those neurons that send and receive signals in your brain
have a chance to shut down and repair themselves [1].

If you don’t sleep, your brain may become so depleted in energy, and so
polluted with the trash produced by normal cellular activities that it begins to
malfunction.
You owe it to yourself to make sleep just as important as eating the right
foods and exercising. It is actually more important than both of those put
together.
So the next time you want to stay up watching a TV show or reading the
next chapter in your book, ask yourself if it is worth it. You might as well go
out and get drunk. Not getting enough sleep has the exact same effect on
your brain.
The Harvard Women’s Health Watch says if you don’t get enough sleep, you
may: [2]
1. Make learning more difficult and your memory will start to fail. 2. Gain weight 3. Have more accidents 4. Become depressed 5. Have cardiovascular problems 6. Be more likely to get a disease
Sleep is the #1 most critical factor to your health.
Now, remember that secret I mentioned before? Well it also helps
repair the damage in your brain much like sleeping does.

#2 Toxic Offender Damaging Your Brain:
You Don’t Exercise
Enough
I know you may not want to hear
this from yet another person, but it
really does matter.
You have to exercise at least 150
minutes a week.
You see, “Physical exercise
increases oxygen to your brain and
reduces the risk for disorders that
lead to memory loss, such as
diabetes and cardiovascular
disease. Exercise may also
enhance the effects of helpful brain
chemicals and protect brain
cells.”[3]
In fact, one study from the University Of Maryland School Of
Public Health found that,
“Exercising for 150 minutes each week may be the best
treatment for Alzheimer's."
They go on to say, we found that after 12 weeks of being on a moderate
exercise program, study participants improved their neural efficiency -
basically they were using fewer neural resources to perform the same
memory task.”[4]
So what are you waiting for??
Get out from behind your computer and go for a walk!
Well, maybe after you finish this report.

That secret tip I mentioned earlier, well, it also helps boost your energy
throughout the entire day.
#3 Toxic Offender Damaging Your Brain:
Eating Toxic Foods.
French Fries. Chocolate Cake. Coke.
Beer.
You are killing your brain with these
foods.
For example, drinking a can of soda
increases the plaque deposits in your
brain and greater plaque deposits
are one of the precursors to
Alzheimer’s disease and
dementia[5].
Why?
All of the sugar.
WebMD even asks the
question: “Is sugar worse for you than say, cocaine?”
A 2012 article in the journal Nature points to studies that show that too much
sugar not only makes us fat, it impairs brain function[6].
How about beer?
Have you ever had a few drinks and woke up the next morning not
remembering the night before?
Difficulty walking, blurred vision, slurred speech, slowed reaction times,
impaired memory… You KNOW alcohol effects your brain. It can kill the
communication between brain cells and in the long term, this lack of
communication becomes permanent.
Copyright 2014 Simple Smart Science All Rights Reserved
But you CAN eat certain foods that will not only reverse some of the damage
you have already done, but will actually help nourish your brain so you can
live the best life possible.
There is an array of brain healthy foods that you need to eat every day, but
to make it easy for you, I’ve put together a list:
Brain Super Foods:
· Vitamin B-12
· Olive Oil · Garlic · Peas · Green Tea · Kale
· Blueberries · Nuts and seeds · Avocados · Oily fish like salmon, trout, mackerel, herring, sardines and kippers. · Tomatoes · Pumpkin Seeds
· Blackcurrant · Broccoli · Sage
So to recap:
1. Get 8-9 hours of sleep a night. 2. Exercise for at least 150 minutes a week. 3. Eat everything on that list daily.
To your brain health.
