() The brain is a complex organ that is central to the many body functions that humans have, which is why it is crucial to take good care of it. Every day, there is a risk of being exposed to neurotoxins that are harmful to the brain. Fortunately, there are many ways to protect the brain from neurotoxin-induced damage.

Neurotoxicity is a condition wherein the brain has acquired damage due to the presence of neurotoxins. These neurotoxins can either be synthetic or naturally occurring. Some examples of neurotoxins include manganese, botox, recreational drugs, anti-psychotic medications, food additives, environmental pollution, nail polish, pesticides, paints, and many others.

Exposure to these neurotoxins can directly or indirectly interfere with brain function. They can work by preventing synapse formation, which could inhibit communication between brain cells. In addition, neurotoxins can also alter the levels of hormones for nervous system development and promote oxidative stress that leads to the degradation of nerves and brain cells. Because of these impaired brain functions and features, neurotoxicity has also been associated with an increased risk for diseases like autism, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and multiple sclerosis.

To avoid the adverse effects of neurotoxin exposure, here is a list of things that can help protect your brain:

  • Water filters – Drinking water, especially if it comes from the tap, contains neurotoxins like fluoride. Water filters that use reverse osmosis or ion-exchange can effectively remove fluoride from water. However, activated carbon filters will not remove them. Aside from water filters, distillation units can also be used.
  • Houseplants – Previous studies have shown that some easy-to-grow houseplants can effectively filter out neurotoxins from the air. Examples for houseplants that act as air filters include English ivy, spider plant, Chinese evergreen, peace lily, Boston fern, miniature date palm, and weeping fig.
  • Turmeric – Turmeric contains curcumin, a bioactive compound known for its wide range of health benefits. One of these is protection against neurotoxicity, especially that which is caused by chemotherapy drugs.
  • Ginger – Ginger is commonly used for cooking but it can also protect the brain against neurotoxicity by reducing excess glutamate levels.
  • Gotu kola – This herb can protect the brain from certain neurotoxins, namely lead, arsenic, aluminum, and excess glutamate.
  • L-theanine – Neurotoxins involved in Parkinson’s disease can be neutralized by L-theanine, an amino acid commonly found in tea.
  • Ashwagandha – This traditional Ayurvedic herb can help get rid of excess glutamate levels.
  • Periwinkle – The periwinkle plant contains vincamine, which is the precursor of vinpocetine. Vinpocetine works against excess glutamate levels to prevent neurotoxicity.
  • Folate – Supplementing with folate protects against environmental neurotoxins, such as lead.

To avoid neurotoxicity, you have to be more mindful of the things you consume, the places you go, and everything else that you may be exposed to since neurotoxins can be found almost anywhere. (Related: A hundred health sapping neurotoxins are hidden in packaged and restaurant food.)

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
