Insufficient Energy and Insufficient Essential Nutrients are the cause of mental decline. At birth the brain occupies nearly 14 % of our body weight and it consumes 70 % of the body’s total energy intake. Nutrients that our body cannot make or synthesize in quantities  sufficient to meet our needs must be replenished. When these essential nutrients are not present in critical facets of our brain, mental decline increases. Poor nutrition adversely affects the brain function: Poor Brain Health, Brain Chemical Imbalances, Neurological Maladies, Memory Loss, Lack of Energy, Memory Lost, High Blood Pressure, Parkinson. Cerebral Palsy, Alzheimer, MS, Schizophrenia, Cortisol Imbalance, Depres- sion, ADD, Muscle Loss, Dementia etc.

THE HUMAN BRAIN BY VOLUME, THAT IS APPROXIMATELY 500 % LARGER THAN ANY OTHER PRIMATES. AT BIRTH THE BRAIN OCCUPIES NEARLY 14 % OF OUR BODY WEIGHT AND IT CONSUMES 70 % OF THE BODIES TOTAL ENERGY INTAKE. AS AN ADULT THE HUMAN BRAIN OCCUPIES PROXIMALLY 2 % OF OUR TOTAL BODY WEIGHT. THESE ARE NUTRIENTS THAT OUR BODY CAN NOT MAKE OR SYNTHESIZE IN QUANTITIES SUFFICIENT TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE BRAIN. WHEN THESE ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS ARE NOT PRESENT IN CRITICAL FACETS OF OUR BRAIN, IT MAY CREATE PERMANENT IMPAIRED BRAIN FUNCTIONS. Nerve cells (neurons) in the brain create, send and receive electrical impulses, which allow the brain’s nerve cells to communicate. Anything that disrupts these communication pathways can lead to a seizure. Epilepsy is the most common cause of seizures. But not every person who has a seizure has epilepsy. Sometimes seizures happen because of: High fever, which can be associated with an infection such as meningitis-Lack of sleep Low blood sodium (hyponatremia), which can happen with diuretic therapy-Medications Head trauma that causes an area of bleeding in the brain-Stroke-Brain tumor Illegal  or recreational drugs, such as amphetamines or cocaine Alcohol abuse, during times of withdrawal or extreme intoxication
