Brain Overview
Most complicated organ
Neurons and glial cells
Energy Source :Carbohydrates

Neurons
100 billion neuronsInformation processing and transmitting
Use or lose it

Intelligence Development
Development peak between 0-5 years old
85% of intelligence developed by age 5
Repeated positive experiences is critical

Brain Health and Nutrition
Energy Supply
Structural Components
Cognition & Memory
Certain Diseases

Energy Supply for Brain
• Represents only 2% of the body weight• 25% of total glucose utilization• 20% of total oxygen consumption• Does not store any glucose
Brain utilizes glucose

Structural Components
Structure Determines Function
![Page 8: Brain Overview](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816403550346895dd5a730/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Brain-Grey Matter
• major component of the central nervous system
• consisting of neurons, glial cells and capillaries
• involved in muscle control, sensory perception.
Grey Matter
![Page 9: Brain Overview](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56816403550346895dd5a730/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Brain-Grey Matter
DHA is the major part
High content of lipids in Grey Matter

Folic acid’s function
• DNA’s synthesis and repair• Performed as co-factors for many biochemical reactions.
Multiple Benefits
• Protect against a number of congenital malformations• Reduce the risk of preterm delivery• Reduce the risks of infant low birth weight and fetal
growth retardation
Pregnancy / infancy period

Cognition & Memory
Cognition is a group of mental processes
Includes attention, memory, learning, reasoning, problem solving, and decision
making
Age-related cognitive decline is one of the main challenges of mental health

Ginkgo Biloba Extract
Improve blood circulation
Improve neurotransmission
Fight against free radicals

Research update about Ginkgo
University of Bordeaux , France,
A 20-Year Follow-Up Study in ~3500 participants
Cognitive decline was reduced in participants using Ginkgo

Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease
Dementia isn't a specific disease
Intellectual and social abilities impaired
