INTRODUCTIONThe human brain is the most complex organ in our bodies. Aging of the brain is inevitable and it can be very subtle and slow. The signs of this wear and tear on your brain are overall in your health, both mentally and physically. Since the brain controls all of your physiological functions. You may experience mental fog, overall fatigue, poor sleep, decreased focus and attention, forgetfulness as well as many other issues that you may attribute to the natural aging process or stress.

Basically from the day we are born we start to age. But the aging process does not have to be accompanied with poor health and poor quality of life. Optimal health is the result of your daily actions -- what you eat and drink, how much you exercise and how much sleep you get, not to mention stress management.

BRAIN ANATOMY AND FUNCTIONYour brain consists of over 100 billion neurons and trillions of connections. The complex structure of the brain and nerve cells (neurons) allow chemical and electrical messages to travel throughout the body. Aging, trauma and stress can affect neural network functioning.

Damage from substances called free radicals can also hasten brain aging. Free radicals result from cell destruction as well as normal metabolism and exercise; they can be counteracted by antioxidants, which are often found in foods like coffee. Inflammation, which results from tissue and nerve damage, can affect your brain in the same way that it affects a sprained ankle. However, Dr. Vaziri

notes, “inflammation in the brain may not cause pain but what you do notice is slowing of certain functions of the body because of reduced signaling both from/between the brain to the body and the body back to the brain.” The inflammatory process degrades the brain and nervous system.

BRAIN SUPPORTYou’ve probably experienced problems with energy, memory and your ability to recall information after a night of poor sleep or during times of high stress. Like the rest of the body, the brain is susceptible to pollution, poor nutrition and stress. Head trauma can cause physical changes in the brain’s structure and affect your ability to think, focus and learn. Brain fog, forgetfulness, emotional swings or depression can result from not taking care of this vital organ.

Diet and exercise promote your overall health and help you achieve your goals. When the brain is healthy you can more easily recover from stress and injury; however, diet related diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity can actually hurt the brain and cause premature brain aging.

Whether you are an athlete, a scientist, a performer or a full-time parent, optimal brain function will help your physical and intellectual performance. “Your brain is the engine that fuels your whole body,” says Dr. Vaziri. “Neural connections can weaken over time, resulting in a decline in overall brain

health.” When it comes to your brain, you may also benefit from brain games/exercises as well as supplements specifically for brain health.

COFFEE AND THE NERVOUS SYSTEMA recent study published by the Harvard School of Public Health centered around the benefits of both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee and found that three to five cups of caffeinated or decaffeinated coffee a day can decrease the risk of developing diabetes and from dying of Parkinson’s disease and other neurological conditions. It was these links to neurological function that led to the discovery of EHT.

EHT AND YOUR BRAINAfter twenty years of research, Princeton University professor Dr. Jeffry Stock discovered the EHT molecule. This discovery led to the development of EHT® Age-Defying Supplement, Mind Enhancement Formula TM, which includes the patented EHT extract, a natural mixture of bioactive molecules isolated from coffee. The positive health effects of EHT have been published in several peer-reviewed neuroscience journals, including Neurobiology of Aging, Journal of Neuroscience and Neurotherapeutics.

BENEFITS OF EHT AGE-DEFYING SUPPLEMENT• Promotes better cognitive function and overall brain health.

• Fortifies and strengthens natural brain functions.

• Protects and supports neuronal networking.

• Enhances the body’s natural energy stores.

• Boosts the body’s immune system.

• Increases focus.

• Combats oxidative stress.

EHT has been found to have more antioxidant effects than well-known antioxidants like vitamin C or vitamin E. EHT contains omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, an integral part of optimal health. These essential fatty acids are used to build brain structure and are critical to normal brain development.

They are also used as messengers to build the neurotransmitters which the brain and nervous system use to communicate and function. Your brain is actually 60 percent fat, and since your body cannot make essential fatty acids,

you must obtain them from your diet or from supplements like EHT. EHT was developed in part through funding received by the Michael J. Fox Foundation, Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation and National Institutes of Health.

ABOUT THE AUTHORDr. Vaziri completed his undergraduate studies at the University of California, Davis earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Nutrition Science with an emphasis in Biochemistry. He received his Doctorate from Southern California University of Health Sciences in 1989 and post-graduate studies were completed at Emperor’s College of Traditional Oriental Medicine with a degree in Acupuncture and Herbology in 2001.

In addition to Chiropractic, Acupuncture, Nutrition and Herbology, Dr. Vaziri specializes in Pain Management, Sports-Related Injuries, Automobile Accident

Injuries, Orthotics and is trained in Veterinary Orthopedic Manipulation. He also hosts corporate lectures focusing on workplace and lifestyle ergonomics as well as providing Ergonomic Evaluations. While building his diverse practice, Dr. Vaziri has successfully integrated both Western and Eastern philosophies.

Dr. Vaziri was first introduced to Chiropractic care as a college student while recovering from a back injury. In his spare time, he enjoys reading, SCUBA diving, sailing, traveling, and time with his family.
