Hi,

We all know that using your muscles will keep them from shrinking. But, did you know that your brain also shrinks with age?

Brain shrinkage happens to most people that live long enough.

The actual size of the brain is not the important thing. But, if your brain is shrinking then it is possible you could have some health issues related to the brain.

While you can do brain exercises to keep mentally alert, it turns out that won’t stop your brain from shrinking.

However, there is a very easy way to keep your brain from shrinking.

All you have to do is take some vitamin B-12.

If you don’t get enough vitamin B-12 it could lead to fatigue and depression. Long term is could cause permanent damage to your nervous system and brain.

Natural vitamin b-12 can only be found in animal products. Things like meat, fish and milk are the primary sources.

Synthetic forms of B-12 are added to many foods like cereals and breads.

Seafood has the highest amounts of B-12 and you can get your daily dose from: clams, osyters, mussels, caviar, octopus, many fish types, crabs, and lobsters.

Meat sources include: liver, milk, cheese, lamb and beef.

Eggs also have a great amount of vitamin B-12.

All of these products are also good sources of protein. So if you are a body builder then you are already probably getting plenty of B-12 in your diet.

So you shouldn’t have to worry about brain shrinkage at all.

But, what about forgetting where your keys are? The answer to that is tomorrow.

Thanks,
