I was looking into this cause if anything can help sharpen my memory (or keep it intact) it would make studies a whole lot easier. A healer i know suggested a mushroom tea called Lion's mane.
Here's an extract from Healthline.com about its benefits:
"Studies have found that lion’s mane mushrooms contain two special compounds that can stimulate the growth of brain cells: hericenones and erinacines.
Additionally, animal studies have found that lion’s mane may help protect against Alzheimer’s disease, a degenerative brain disease that causes progressive memory loss.
In fact, lion’s mane mushroom and its extracts have been shown to reduce symptoms of memory loss in mice, as well as prevent neuronal damage caused by amyloid-beta plaques, which accumulate in the brain during Alzheimer’s disease.
While no studies have analyzed whether lion’s mane mushroom is beneficial for Alzheimer’s disease in humans, it appears to boost mental functioning."
I ordered it online and it tastes awful. In fact, the only way I can drink it is to mix the powder in a little hot water and gulp it down as quickly as possible. I hope that does not affect the health benefits. But determining whether something is helping the brain is tricky. I will just have to trust it is doing me good.
