The oily way to stay sharp
There is mounting literature supporting the use of Omega 3 for brain health, but to date a lot of the "revelation" has surrounded fish oils. Given that the brain is around 60% fat, it really should never have been a "revelation" that paying attention to your fatty acid intake would be of benefit, but there are several key reasons why the Essential Fatty Acids in Udo's Choice Ultimate Oil Blend could be a better choice for you than the non-essential fatty acids EPA & DHA from fish oils.
Slow energy release
By focussing on the fat found in Udo's Choice Ultimate Oil Blend, the first benefit over fish oils is improved energy release, and more sustained mental capacity. By contributing a large amount of slow release fat, and optimising your metabolism to avoid carbohydrate crashes, you can keep your wits about you whilst others are losing theirs!
Blood flow to the brain
EFAs improvethe membrane function of many different cells. This includes your blood cells, which are then better able to carry vital oxygen to your brain for cognitive function, and take away waste carbon dioxide.
Getting the message through efficiently
In addition, the soya lecithin that is in Udo's Choice works to strengthen the barrier around your nerve cells, known as the Myelin Sheath. The Myelin Sheath is essential to enable your nerve cells to conduct electrical charges within the brain and throughout the body's nervous system and protects the charge from interferance.
DHA and EPA conversion
In addition to these benefits Udo's Choice provides the body with the Essential fats it needs that convert to the fatty acids DHA and EPA which the benefits of which have been widely publicised in adverts about fish oils.
Udo's Choice offers a superior fuel for the efficient working of the brain.
Brain Health for Kids
To see how Udo's Choice Ultimate Oil Blend could be of benefit to children, we worked in association with Lever Park School in Bolton. Lever Park works with children that could otherwise fall out of the schooling system due to their behaviour, and helps them enjoy as full an education experience as possible.
In a breakthrough 7-month school study at Lever Park School, Bolton, 21 pupils aged between 11 and 16 got together each morning and made a smoothie with fresh fruit and Udo's Choice. With each pupil drinking this daily the following incredible learning and performance related results were achieved:
- 86% of literacy scores improved
- 76% of pupils felt happier about their academic performance
- 79% of parents noticed positive changes in their children
- 75% reduction in boisterous behaviour
There was also substantial reports from parents and teachers that the children were far more at ease with themselves, and the children themselves were delighted with their improved ability to control their emotions and feelings during the trial.
The trial was so successful that Lever Park saught out funding, so now the pupils enjoy an Udo's Choice smoothie every morning, and join the teachers in a more productive school environment!
