Written by Suzannah Moss - FHG Senior Writer Participants in an 8 week mindfulness meditation class experienced structural brain changes including increased grey-matter density in the hippocampus, known to be important for learning and memory, and in structures associated with self-awareness, compassion and introspection. This is the first research to document meditation-produced changes in the brain. Previous research has identified differences in brain activity and structure between practised meditators and non-meditators.

Researchers noted that long-term meditation alters brain-wave patterns, with greater activity in brain circuits involved in attention. They also found that brain regions associated with attention and sensory processing were thicker in meditators than in controls. The question was whether people with a thicker brain cortex in areas associated with awareness and sensory processing were more likely to meditate.

Aging brings with it less energy and a gradual decline in our cognitive ability – two things an NADH supplement can help with. Taking this essential antioxidant and cell energizer can give your body and mind the boost it needs. But what is NADH? Found in all plants and animals, our cells use NADH every day as it’s involved in all the body’s energy production and cell development. The proteins, carbohydrates and fats we eat degrade into amino acids, sugars and lipids which are then processed to create NADH – the convertor of fuel to energy. The most efficient natural intake of NADH comes from raw meat or fish because our digestion extracts it in greater amounts.

Unfortunately, the fast pace of modern life, pollution and chemicals added to our food mean the natural ways to derive energy from the things we eat can be affected. The antioxidant and immune system booster NADH also assists the human immune system which depends on the defensive actions of our white blood cells.
