Amino Acids and Your Brain

Amino Acids and Your Brain – By Dr Eric R. Braverman

We're all aware that amino acids are present and importantthroughout our bodies. Muscle, for example, is very high in proteinand amino acids. But the most exciting area of amino acid researchis the study of brain metabolism.

Essentially, amino acids run your brain. Your central nervoussystem is almost completely regulated by amino acids and theirpeptides. Communication within the brain and between your brainand the rest of your body's extensive nervous system occursthrough chemical \"languages\" by which brain cells or neuronscommunicate.There are about 50 such \"languages\" that neurotransmitters use totransmit messages from one neuron, or nerve cell, to a specificorgan such as a muscle or gland that releases hormones.Neurotransmitters are powerful chemicals that can regulatenumerous physical and behavioral processes, including cognitiveand mental performance, emotional states, and the pain response.For a complete brain and body exam, contact us at PATH Medical.We approach a full physical exam the same way you were born -head first.
