Keep cognitive function from DECLINING… with a ‘royal oil’
Friend, aging isn’t just an issue of vanity.
Sure, there are the cosmetic factors… the thinning hair and the wrinkling skin…
But today, I want you to think about what happens on the INSIDE as you age.
Because those UNSEEN changes could have a MUCH greater impact on your livelihood as you reach your “golden years.”
Especially when it comes to your brain… and how your cognitive skills might start to WANE as you get older.
Fortunately, there’s a way to help keep your cognitive function SHARP with each birthday that passes.
It’s the key ingredient behind what the ancient medicinal practice of Ayurveda considers the “king of oils”…
But in Western culture, it keeps a low profile… and is best known as a humble condiment!
The sesame seed… from the Sesamum indicum plant… is one of the oiliest seeds out there.
In fact, throughout multiple languages, its name loosely translates to mean “liquid fat.”
Besides pressed into oil, you can also find sesame seeds mashed into pastes and “butters,” especially in the Middle East… and toasted as a condiment, especially in Asia.
Folks have been consuming sesame seeds (and their related products) for over 5,000 years now.
Followers of the ancient Hindu faith even consider sesame a symbol of immortality!
What could it do for you?
Well, it just might help you DEFY aging when it comes to your precious memories.
Let me explain…
Research in lab dishes (in vitro) and in animal subjects (in vivo) have demonstrated the ability of sesame oil products to help BEAT BACK excess brain inflammation…
And even PREVENT brain cell die-off.
When your brain cells die… and new ones don’t grow back in their place… that’s when your brain SHRINKS!
And this “shrinkage” has been associated with cognitive decline.
A recent clinical trial involving older folks with impaired memory function found that after 12 weeks of consuming a sesame-based product 3X daily, the study subjects demonstrated significantly IMPROVED verbal memory, compared to the placebo group.
Verbal memory helps you recall the right word without struggling… tell a story without drifting off into a tangent… and perform other memory functions that involve language skills.
The study’s authors attribute the results to sesame oil’s rich content of sesaminol glucosides – compounds that are scientifically classified as “lignans” and bring antioxidant action to the table.
That goes along with what Japanese authors of an animal study found in 2019…
Which was that sesame lignans could help BEAT BACK cognitive dysfunction by helping to NEUTRALIZE oxidative stress.
That’s not all…
Because an animal study out of Egypt published earlier this year also found clinical evidence that sesame oil helped BANISH oxidative stress and inflammation in the study subjects’ brains.
You’ll find the HIGHEST concentration of lignans in black sesame seeds… which contain the hull. Known as “kala til” in India, you can find them at your local Asian specialty market.
Now, sesame seeds contain high amounts of omega-6 fatty acids – so, you’ll want to balance those out with a proportionate amount of omega-3s.
Fortunately, you can find sesame lignans combined with omega-3s in a supplement like “Super Omega-3” from Life Extension.
You can also try adding sesame oil to your routine. Just choose a high-quality, organic version from a maker you trust.
To planting the seed for AGELESS cognition,
