Nutrition Tip from Your New Roads Chiropractor: Multivitamin Improves Memory!

Nutrition can Help your Memory“What did I come in here for?”
We all experience those occasional lapses of memory. Just check with your New Roads friends. They’ll agree that it can be upsetting! New Roads Chiropractic Center found some state-of-the-art nutritional research that may help you retain your memory functioning better and be a natural part of your chiropractic treatment plan..

WOMEN

Researchers studied 56 elderly women who told them that they had some memory loss. These women took a multivitamin, mineral, herbal supplement for 16 weeks. The researchers found an improved speed of response in spatial working memory.  Plus homocysteine levels dropped. (Good news! These are inflammation indicators. You don't want inflammation.) Vitamin B6 and B12 and even Vitamin E increased! (1)

MEN

A similar study was done with sedentary, older men (50 to 74 years old). They were in an 8 week study taking a multivitamin, mineral, herbal supplement. There were similar findings to the women’s: lower homocysteine levels and higher Vitamin B12 and B6 folate. The improvement in their memory was in the contextual recognition memory performance. (2) Any improvement in memory is a great thing!

So let’s talk at your next New Roads chiropractic appointment. If you or a loved one finds memory to be a challenge (or even a slight frustration), let’s talk about trying a quality multivitamin, mineral, herbal supplement. The quality makes all the difference!
