Stop Memory Loss with This ‘Unknown’ Mineral? (No Drugs!)

By Jack Taylor Posted February 22, 2022

Memory loss is a harsh reality of getting old. 

And, there’s no doubt that memory loss comes in all different shapes and sizes. 

For most of us, it means the occasional ‘forgetfulness’ … like misplacing your car keys, or forgetting the day of an appointment. 

But for millions of older Americans, age-related memory loss can lead to devastating brain diseases like Alzheimer’s or dementia.  

And while there’s no cure for memory loss, it doesn’t mean you need to wave the white flag in defeat… or wait around for a Big Pharma drug they claim will stop memory loss… 

Because thanks to some new lab research, there’s a natural – but relatively unknown – mineral that has been proven to help STOP memory loss.  

It’s found in some of the tastiest foods out there… and it’s something you can start incorporating into your diet TODAY.  

It’s selenium! 

Chances are you haven’t heard of selenium, but this nutrient is vital to your overall health. Studies have found selenium to play a critical role in important processes in your body – including your metabolism and thyroid function. 

Selenium is considered an essential mineral – which means it must be obtained through your diet. This is also why so many folks may be unaware of its importance for your health.  

According to a study published in the journal Cell Metabolism, selenium can help reverse memory loss and even boost learning in aging brains.  

In a series of lab and animal studies, selenium was able to increase neuron generation and improve cognition in elderly mice. This is important because neuron generation decreases with age, but when selenium supplements were given to mice, it reversed cognitive deficits that are commonly seen during the aging process. 

It’s important to note that this study was based on lab and animal studies. But, researchers continue to study how selenium can positively affect the human brain.  

In the meantime, there’s no harm in making sure you’re getting enough selenium in your diet. 

As I mentioned earlier, selenium is an essential mineral – which means it must be obtained through nutrition. But many healthy (and tasty) foods out there are packed with selenium, including… 

Oysters… eggs… yellowfin tuna… chicken breast… and even mushrooms. 

You can also find selenium supplements at health food stores and online vitamin retailers… usually for less than $10 per bottle. 

If you choose to go with the supplement, just be sure to stick to the recommended dosage on the product label.
