Fuzzy memory, forgetfulness, poor concentration, and even dementia may be caused in part due to the lack of oxygen to the brain. Your body and even your brain can’t be truly healthy unless you are generating optimal amounts of nitric oxide leading to optimum blood flow and nutrient delivery. You brain, while only about 2% of your body’s mass consumes an astounding 25% of your body’s requirement of oxygen. A lack of adequate blood flow to the brain bringing in nutrients and removing wastes, increases your risks for neuro-degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other dementias. A lack of blood flow can also cause a reduction in brain performance.
From the Neurology Journal: “About one quart of blood normally flows through the brain every minute. If the amount of blood flow is less than it should be, the brain cannot work efficiently. This can lead to memory loss and other symptoms.”
