The brain is only 2% of the body's weight, but it uses 20% of the blood flow, 20% of the oxygen in your body. And so we want people to love their blood flow.
Ever wondered what the number one predictor for Alzheimer's disease might be? In this episode of The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast, Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen dive into the crucial role blood flow plays in memory and overall brain health. They kick off a 12-part series on Memory Rescue by focusing on the first risk factor from their BRIGHT MINDS mnemonic: Blood Flow.
Despite the brain only making up 2% of our body weight, it demands a whopping 20% of our blood flow and oxygen. This episode sheds light on why maintaining proper blood flow is vital for your cognitive functions and offers practical tips to keep your brain in top shape. Dr. Amen and Tana discuss how dehydration, caffeine, and nicotine can negatively impact blood flow, and they share natural remedies and lifestyle habits that can help boost it.
