7 Superfoods that Boost Brain Health

Let’s face it, we all know what we put in our body’s we get out, so why do so many of us eat in a way that doesn’t support our health? Certain foods are superfoods. They can boost different organs or systems within our body and if you’re like me, the brain is one organ the could always use a boost.

Food often affects every action our body performs from our memory to our energy level and even mood. Have you ever experienced “brain fog” often used to describe forgetfulness, confusion, and lack of attention. This easily overlooked condition can be a real downer. Luckily its simple to clean the mind of “brain fog”  if your willing to pay more attention to the food you eat rather than the calories you consume. 

Focus on consuming nutrient-dense foods to help your brain performance thrive. Below are 7 super-foods, begin incorporating them into your diet and see the difference in your concentration level.  

Walnuts

Go nuts for nuts! Especially walnuts which are excellent for our nervous system and brain health. You’ll find a great source of omega three fatty acids; walnuts also contain high levels of Vitamin E, which has been linked to preventing forms of dementia by protecting against free radical damage in the brain. Raw nuts are fine but to super charge them, it is best to let them soak overnight, which makes them easier to digest.

Celery

A rich source of luteolin, celery is full of this compound that research shows lowers rates of age-related memory loss by calming inflammation in the brain, which scientists and doctors believe to be the primary cause of neuro-degeneration. Next time you need a supercharged snack grab those celery sticks instead of something processed from the vending machine.

Bee Pollen

A spoon full of honey makes the medicine go down. Well actually that spoon full of honey may just be the “medicine” itself since the wide range of naturally occurring nutrients found in bee pollen are found to be energizing. Bee pollens are chocked full of free amino acids, folic acid, and are often around forty percent protein which all help to enhance our brain’s stamina and fight of fatigue. When you really need a brain boost, skip that cup of coffee and blend up a delicious smoothie with a teaspoon of bee pollen.

Sunflower & Pumpkin Seeds

With both containing an excellent mix of omega fatty acids, B vitamins, and protein—sunflower and pumpkin seeds will boost your energy levels. Also containing tryptophan, which the brain converts into serotonin combatting anxiety and eases depression. Finally, grabbing for that handful of seeds will give you your daily recommended dose of zinc, which I’m guessing you could be missing. Zinc is linked to enhancing thinking skills and memory.

Dark Chocolate

Yep I said chocolate! But not all chocolate is created equal, which is why we need to be very careful when picking out varieties to boost our brain function. Look for quality, dark chocolate if your looking to stick to the HEALTH benefits this superfood can provide. Rich in iron, magnesium and fiber; which work to improve blood flow to the brain coincidently improving memory and cognitive functioning. One of the most powerful antioxidants in the world, cacao surprisingly contains 15x more powerful antioxidants than blueberries. Before you get to excited and grab that Snickers bar, watch yourself! Look for the good stuff, organic dark chocolate with AT LEAST 70% cacao.

Coconut Oil

Well oiled-machines our bodies our, with the brain being made up of 60% fat. Think low fat levels are GOOD for your health? Think again. The trick is incorporating good, “healthy” fats like coconut oil which aids in raising good cholesterol, combatting dementia and weight loss. Acting as an anti-inflammatory, coconut oil has been known to help prevent the onset of brain disorders.

Spinach

When you think of spinach think of nitrates, which increase blood flow to our brains and improves mental performance. Delaying dementia is just another one of the preventative powers of spinach in addition to curbing the manifestation of cancer cells.

Secret Sauce: Tips from the Track

It’s no secret that NASCAR fans are…loyal to say the least. There seems to be an endless amount of fans that love to watch from their televisions, attend races, and even analyze the sport. NASCAR is able to continually appeal to their loyal fanbase even creating a bit of FANDIMONIEM through advertising, content, reviews, commercials, and other promotions. With an estimated 75 million fans, as business owners, we can all look at the “business” of NASCAR for insight into how to create our own loyal following.

Attracting loyal customers is the easiest way to be successful in any industry. With a large enough customer base you can send out special promotions that are meant to be used exclusively by them or you can send industry related content to gain interest. The possibilities are potentially endless, ONCE you’ve ALREADY gained interest and brand loyalty. Let’s look to a few key elements that NASCAR uses to engage fans in order to create a little extra buzz for our own businesses.

Digital Content Creation 

What has been the biggest change to business over the last decade? The rise of digital content and fall of “traditional” manners of advertising. NASCAR’s success does, in part, have to due with this leap online. With practically everyone having access to the internet today through cell phones, iPADS and other mobile devices—it’s no wonder that it’s known to be the most effective way to introduce new information. Technology has truly revolutionized the sport of NASCAR through video, interviews, and photos. Thanks to the internet a race never ends and instead lives on for people to view again and again.

Even the drivers themselves have the opportunity to directly communicate with their own fans. Instead of fans being able to just look up a driver’s statistics, users can now “follow” a drive on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter for a real behind-the-scenes look into their life. My favorite driver, Brian Scott, recently became a viral video sensation himself thanks to the video from his marriage to Whitney Scott. After the story was picked up in the Huffington Post the wedding vows he made to Whitney and his then three-year-old new stepdaughter, made the online rounds resulting in approximately 7,364,184 views since being published on Youtube in February of 2014.

Viral videos aren’t the only way drivers can appeal to their fans in a recent “Yoga War” with Danica Patrick, Brian Scott joined the viral photo fun by showing his own yoga moves. This photo showcases a lighter side to the driver and let’s his fans see more of his real life persona which creates a deeper connection. Even if you don’t have thousands of followers like Brian Scott, his light-hearted and authentic approach to reaching fans is something to take note of if your building a business.

Sales Promotions

We’ve all heard these two little words. Don’t think your business can skip promotion and STILL be successful. Regardless of the industry you are in, you will need to find a promotion system that works. This could mean partnering with media whether that be radio, print or television. It could also mean more general promotional items like hats, t-shirts, and stickers—the important element to remember is that these items MUST include your LOGO and other information that makes it easy to access your business. I’m an independent brand partner with Nerium International and one of easiest and most fun ways to promote my business is to throw on a Nerium shirt and let people ask me about for more information. 

Sponsorship

Though most of us don’t have a business that can use sponsorship in the way NASCAR can, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t look to this leader in the industry as an example. If you have watched a NASCAR race, then you know the sponsors are difficult to miss but there is a reason for this. Corporate sponsors pay large sums of money for free access to show off their logo to countless fans on race day. This money isn’t simply used the NASCAR association itself, but for car maintenance and repairs, team salary and other elements of the sport. At the end of a race it’s important to remember that NASCAR isn’t functioning simply from fan dollars, but from sponsors who benefits from the connection. In business you can also benefit from mutual connections, if you can’t afford to simply sponsor, why not partner with other businesses to expand your audience. If you have an upcoming in-person event why not ask one or multiple businesses to join you? Combine your efforts through online media and attract a larger audience for your next event, without a budget, but with the added benefit of working mutual business connections.

Promote the Experience

NASCAR is about the experience and the ultimate experience for NASCAR fans is attending a live race. Let’s face it selling out races is good for business which is why portraying the experience is so crucial, but its not just about selling tickets. Attending a race shows fans that it can be about more than sitting around a television, if they’re willing to get involved. 

Once the customer is engaged in the process a stronger connection is built resulting in a higher chance of buying a NASCAR themed product or attending a live race again. Being successful in business is about promoting more than just your product or service. Put people into the equation and you will engage your consumers at a higher level. As a Nerium Brand Partner I encourage my team to attend as many “live” events as possible. This could mean a weekly Market Partner or attending our Regional Training either way as a new or seasoned Brand Partner its crucial to stay involved in the experience.

The Secret of High Achievers

“High achievers spot rich opportunities swiftly, make big decisions quickly and move into action immediately. Follow these principles and you can make your dreams come true.” -Robert H. Schuller

Do you consider yourself truly successful? If not NOW might be the time to take a step back from yourself and look to others in order to determine WHAT those whom you deem successful do differently. Success isn’t simply measured in financial terms, the kind of SUCCESS I’m talking about encompasses all areas of life. From your health, to your relationships, and most importantly your overall philosophy towards life—success is managing all of these factors while taking a step forward to improve your life each day.

The hard truth is so many people are not just struggling to be successful, they are struggling to keep themselves “afloat” all together and there’s every excuse for this. But there is also an opportunity to achieve more if you will take a few minutes to learn how a slight change in your philosophy can help you achieve “success” you’ve only dreamed of before.

Now you might be wondering what is The Secret of Impossible Achievers and the hidden truth is what I directly referenced above; your philosophy or your outlook towards life. This will either place you along the ripple with the impossible achievers or down the “regret” curve with the majority of people who believe their success, happiness, and well-being can be found another way. 

The impossible achievers know they are not more talented than any other person they simply have the determination and are willing to put in DAILY effort to get what they want. Do you have a BIG goal in mind? This milestone isn’t impossible to achieve but your outlook could hold you back. Instead of giving up next time you hit a road block re-examine the goal by breaking it down into smaller “steps” that can be implanted on a daily basis. 

This is a critical step because you have to trust that these small steps will lead to the larger goal. Those impossible achievers trust in and believe in there dreams so strongly that they have no choice but to manifest.

Now let’s review The Secret of Impossible Achievers

Positive Philosophy + Daily Execution of Goal + Overriding Belief in Dream

The secret really is that simple when you break it down. With this change in philosophy you may also want to give yourself an opportunity to achieve more. I’ve found a vehicle for achieving financial freedom and personal excellence and I can help you find your “tribe” as well. Don’t wait, ask me about the Nerium Opportunity today.

A Whole New Level: GR15

After returning from Get Real 2015 in San Jose, California all I can say is “WOW”. As the name of the conference implied the Nerium Opportunity has been taken to an entirely New Level and I can’t wait to share my experience with you. If you’ve never made it to a Nerium event or if this opportunity is new to you, then trust me, you’ll never truly understand the level of energy and enthusiasm I’m talking about until you experience the Nerium spirit for yourself.

  To start the conference I attended the National Marketing Director’s Summit at the Fairmount Hotel in San Jose. It was an evening full of inspiration, as the leaders in the company, came together for exclusive announcements and training. During the next three days the action officially started as the general sessions, guest speakers, and training began. 

During the general sessions our next breakthrough product in America EHT - Age Defying Supplement for Brain Health was announced, in addition to the news that Nerium obtained the world-wide rights to the patented SIG-1273® anti-aging molecule engineered by Princeton University biochemist Jeffry Stock. SIG-1273 is the result of 20 years of intensive biomedical skin care research and this revolutionary anti-aging molecule is now available exclusively in Nerium International’s Optimera Formula line. That goes without mentioning UP our enhanced, digital platform, the release of our rebranded, universal packaging, and of course the exciting announcement that our global expansion is extending to Korea in June. 

The announcements, speakers and training are reason enough to attend Get Real but one of the less discussed but just as important elements is the sense of community. If you’ve only associated with your up-line and team members, Get Real gives you the opportunity to stretch your wings and grow in diverse ways. By meeting new Brand Partners from around the world who bring different skill sets and experiences to the table. 

When you attend Nerium events, you learn about the ways Nerium strives to build a better community and are larger ripple within the general public. The connections you build will directly impact your personal and professional life for years to come. While our leadership has decades of combined experience, the company, itself, is still very young. Which  means everyone from the first Brand Partner to the newest “baby BP” can learn and grow from this one-of-a-kind event that will be “sold out” from here on out. 

To end an incredible convention I celebrated my team’s victories and a few of my own at the outdoor Discovery Meadow Park. It wouldn’t be Get Real without celebrating time together and kicking off future goals. After the entire experience I firmly believe we went to a whole new level and became a whole new company with the added credibility! I look forward to celebrating the success of my team at every White Party and I want to celebrate your success in September at Get Real 2015 in Dallas.
