Use Ginkgo Biloba to Starve Off Alzheimer's and Dementia

By: Rudy Silva

Dementia, Alzheimer's, and other mental diseases are accelerated by:

The lack of blood to the brain
The lack of oxygen to the brain
The lack of minerals and vitamins to the brain
The lack of glucose to the brain
Increase of toxins to the brain

The lack of blood to the brain is caused by arteriosclerosis - plack buildup along the arteries causing them to narrow. Arteriosclerosis occurs when you have a diet that causes damage to the artery walls activating cholesterol, minerals and nutrients to patch up the damage. Over time, as the artery openings become narrower, less blood flows through them and may even be blocked.

To avoid arteriosclerosis eat a healthy diet. Find a diet that will minimize damage and inflammation in your body and arteries. Starting a healthy diet at any age is helpful but the sooner you start the better.

Ginkgo Biloba has been found effective in increasing the circulation of blood throughout the body including the brain. When this happens, more blood moves into the brain and supplies the brain with the more nutrients.

Ginkgo Biloba also helps brain cells use glucose and thereby increases brain energy. It helps improve brain cell transmission and brain wave tracing. It helps short-term memory by speeding up the brain cell impulses.

Using Ginkgo Biloba for dementia and Alzheimer's has show to slow down, delay, and even reverse these conditions in some cases. Use of Ginkgo Biloba is more effective when used in the early signs of senility, dementia, or Alzheimer's.

If Alzheimer's is well progressed, Ginkgo may have only a slight value. But when Alzheimer's and other dementia issue are due arteriosclerosis or lack of blood to the brain, then Ginkgo may provide some relief.
