Anti-Age Your Brain Think Tank

Patrick Holford: Simple Wisdom for a Healthy Life

Keeping your brain young is a science. Ageing happens because of oxidation (think wrinkly skin). Nowhere is there more oxidation activity than the brain because your brain uses more energy than any other organ and generates more oxidants.

There are 7 key antioxidants which, together recycle each other. These are vitamin C, E, glutathione, anthocyanins, co-enzymeQ10 and alpha lipoic acid.

There’s a second line of defence involving B vitamins and minerals such as selenium and zinc. In this podcast I’ll be talking with the antioxidant expert Associate Professor David Vauzour, Dr Filip Van Hulle, a leading expert in CoQ10 and brilliant analytical chemist Dr Konrad Kowalski who has developed a simple test to find out how your brain is ageing and what to do about it.

What anti-ages your brain also anti-ages your body. Listen to this podcast to add years to your life and life to your years.
