Energy and vigor for memory and concentration
With ginkgo and ginseng!
The causes of declining concentration and increasing forgetfulness are diverse. They range from short-term concentration difficulties caused by mental and physical overwork to degenerative dementia.
In addition, memory and concentration decline with age. To a certain extent, this is normal. As we age, blood flow to the brain no longer functions as well as it used to. Our nerves are less strong. We are less resilient. We begin to forget things that we used to remember easily. This is due to poorer blood flow to the brain and the associated lack of oxygen.
There's something you can do about this, as our little gray cells remain capable of learning throughout our lives. A healthy foundation for this is regular brain training. The brain wants to be challenged and stimulated. A daily 15-minute workout is enough to achieve improvements. The best brain exercises are those that challenge you. This includes activities you've never tried before.
The use of medicinal plants such as ginkgo and ginseng is effective for short-term complaints and for the prevention of memory problems.
Ginkgo for your memory and concentration
ginkgo looks back on a long tradition of use. The ginkgo plant is one of the oldest plants on earth. Originating in ancient China, ginkgo has enjoyed increasing popularity in our latitudes for many decades.
Ginkgo is often taken to prevent dementia, treat mild circulatory disorders of the brain, reduce balance and concentration disorders, and stabilize vertigo. Ginseng is said to have a positive effect on memory function and on declining concentration. Ginseng can also support physical performance in cases of fatigue and exhaustion.
The flavonoids (known as ginkgolides) and bilobalide contained in the herb were thought to be responsible for its effect. Ginkgo leaf extracts can dilate blood vessels. With more blood vessels, the flow properties of the blood are improved. This can boost blood circulation in the blood vessels of the extremities and the brain, as well as oxygen supply.
