REMEMBRANCE MEMORY HEALTH 60 CAPS BY HYY 2 BTLE
BRAIN, MEMORY & Circulatory Health The brain plays the most vital and central role in the body as the major part of the
central nervous system. Thoughts, memory, logic deduction and induction, mental, cognitive and intellectual functions are
all performed by brain cells. The brain also controls our bodyfs movement, sensory signals, heart rate, respiration and many
other vital physiological activities. Brain cells are very sensitive and susceptible to damages when blood circulation is
poor in supplying oxygen and nutrients. Cerebral arteries that supply blood to the brain need to be physiologically stable
in their luminal diameter and maintaining blood flow in response to environmental stimuli such as stress signals. The fact
that brain cells constantly need oxygen and nutrients (especially glucose) supplied from blood circulation, made it especially
essential to pay attention to circulatory health in order to maintain normal and healthy brain activities. BLOOD AND BRAIN
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), brain activities such as cognitive and intellectual activities in physiology are classified
under functions of the ghearth and it means more than the anatomical heart here. Its functions include those of the nervous
system and the brain. g The heart rules the spirit.h -- The "spirit" here generally refers to an individual's vitality,
reflected in the eyes, speech, reactions and overall appearance. The "spirit" refers to a person's mental, cognitive and intellectual
abilities. gThe heart rules the blood.h means the heart is a functional unit for maintaining healthy blood flow. Blood is
transported inside the blood vessels around the entire body when the heart pumps. The heart, blood and blood vessels are united
by their common activities. In TCM, this functional relationship is known as the "ruling" of the heart. Both blood and spirit
are ruled by the heart. A healthy gspirith reflects the harmony of the heartfs functioning. Under these theories, our gbloodh
(circulatory health) and gspirith (brain and mental health) are very closely tied. Our blood is rich in nutrients and its
main function is to nourish our body. The Explanatory Classic for the Huang Di Nei Jing (ãS) summarized this important function
of blood as gBlood rules nourishing.h All parts of our body need nourishment from blood for normal functioning, and nourishment
is also needed for a healthy gspirith which incorporates our intellectual, cognitive and mental activities. Therefore, when
there is sufficient nourishment from the blood with good ruling of the gspirith by the heart, one will look healthy and
fit with rosy cheeks and have a wise, clear and sharp mind. When nourishment is insufficient or there is disharmony of blood
and spirit, signs of forgetfulness, poor self esteem, and slow thinking or reactions will appear. Harmony of Blood & Qi
In TCM, blood health depends on the functional harmony between qi and blood. Qi is the "life energy" or "life force," which
flows within us. Qi provides energy to gpushh the blood, and gconsolidatesh or keeps blood flow inside the blood vessels
without leaking out. The gpushingh and gconsolidationh work together to achieve good flow of both qi and blood which is
absolutely necessary for supporting organs and tissue functioning. When there
