How to Boost Your Acetylcholine for Super Brain Power

[@htas6888]

Half cup of blueberries, preferably frozen wild, a day... for a month or so, you can really see the improvement in memory. I tried it! Zinc is in sunflower seeds and if you eat it regularly, within a few days, you can feel vitality jump a notch. I put a table spoon full on my salad or on my oats.

[@Ottee2]

Good advice. I also use sesame and pumpkin seeds on a regular basis. And Brazil nuts & the occasional walnut, too.

[@htas6888]

@@Ottee2 those are real good, I use them regularly as well. Brazil nuts are the best source of magnesium, couple of nuts a month all that is needed but we get magnesium through a lot of other foods too, just not so high. I keep a small jar of raw Brazil nuts in the fridge for this purpose :)

Dr. Berg, I dont think one gets insuline resistance from eating carbs. Perhaps white sugar, but not carbs in general. In fact, I think some people, specifically, the slow metabolizers, get IR by eating meat, not carbs. I known lots of people in France who eat white bread all their lives and have no sugar (or gluten) issues. Also, consider the Kempner diet, which includes white rice and white sugar, and actually heals diabetes and obesity. In fact, carbs are necessary for many people and therefore may be much healthier than you think, even detrimental if avoided.

Acetylcholine is mimicked by nicotine which is why it’s so difficult to quit the nicotine addiction - the acetylcholine has switched off and when nicotine is stopped in quit smoking, it takes time for acetylcholine to kickstart again. Hence the withdrawal symptoms. So this is perfect timing for me. Cashew nuts are a useful magnesium source too.

That can explain why Acetylcholine deficiencient people tend to eat more sugar and hence “self medicate” using sugar. Because they observe that taking sugar, they get a kick in productivity but short term (by temporarily compensating ACh , but this pseudo-self-treatment will have negative consequences). So long term ACh deficiency can make the person prone to insulin resistance etc. So in theory, elevating Ach by other means can potentially reduce the habit of taking sugar. (A habit formed by conditioning reflexes (hunger etc) over years).

[@phil_mun]

Getting enough Cholin is surely an important issue. If you consider eating (more) eggs here, just please take also into consideration that eggs are usually high in arachidonic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid. (Don't know if pasture raised eggs here have lower amounts than regular ones, would be interesting to know.) Arachidonic acid isn't 'just bad', it's more complex than that, but could e.g. in certain situations perhaps lead to more inflammation. I think for people who think about adding (more) eggs to their diet it's good and relevant to know that this food also contains this fatty acid, so they can make an informed decision of wether or how much eggs they want to eat.

[@lynserkawi4704]

the question is how much arach acid for an egg

DR. Berg could you do a video opposite to this on how to lower acetylcholine levels or ways to increase cholinesterase enzymes which the body uses to break acetylcholine in the body. Well there a lot of benefits of high acetylcholine some of us have the opposite problem of having too high levels acetylcholine which leads to overthinking anxiety. I know about some ways to decrease it like avoiding nightshade foods which are high in solanine that interferes with the body 's ability to break down acetylcholine. I also know about limiting high choline foods like egg yolk. However, I wonder if there are foods or certain habits you can do to help the body increase cholinesterase.
