[What is Huperzine A]

Huperzia is a type of moss that grows in China. It is related to club mosses (the Lycopodiaceae family) and is known to some botanists as Lycopodium serratum . The whole prepared moss was used traditionally. Modern herbal preparations use only the isolated alkaloid known as huperzine A. Huperzine A is an alkaloid found in huperzia that has been reported to prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine, an important substance needed by the nervous system to transmit information from cell to cell. Animal research has suggested that huperzine A’s ability to preserve acetylcholine may be greater than that of some prescription drugs. Loss of acetylcholine function is a primary feature of several disorders of brain function, including Alzheimer’s disease . Huperzine A may also have a protective effect on brain tissue, further increasing its theoretical potential for helping reduce symptoms of some brain disorders.

[Function] Used in alternative medicine, huperzine A has been found to act as a cholinesterase inhibitor, a type of medicine used to prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine (a chemical essential to learning and memory).

Not only used as a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease, huperzine A is also said to enhance learning and memory and to protect against age-related cognitive decline.

In addition, huperzine A is sometimes used to boost energy, increase alertness, and aid in the treatment of myasthenia gravis (an autoimmune disorder that affects the muscles).

This isn’t a textbook, so here’s a short explanation: antioxidants make you healthier, so here’s how to arrange your diet accordingly.

Step 1: Drink tea
Start your morning with a cup of tea. Black and green versions contain flavonoids — a type of antioxidant which has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease.

Step 2: Drink coffee
If tea isn’t your cup of, well, tea, then have coffee instead. It’s America’s most common source of antioxidants.

Step 3: Snack on nuts, fruits and veggies
Snack on nuts and increase your fruit and vegetable intake. There are several forms of antioxidants in these food groups.

Tip
Vitamins A, C and E aren’t just vitamins; they’re antioxidants as well.

Step 4: Eat specific foods for specific antioxidants
Eat specific foods for specific antioxidants: carrots for beta-carotene, spinach for lutein, tomatoes for lycopene and berries for anthocyanidin.

Step 5: Try other foods for more types
Try other foods for their antioxidants: onions and apples for flavonols, grapes for proanthocyanidins, pears for phenols and broccoli for dithiolthiones and sulforphane.

Tip
These were just a few examples. Visit health and diet websites for complete listings of foods and antioxidants.

Step 6: Nibble on dark chocolate
Lastly, nibble on some dark chocolate; it’s heavy on antioxidants, which should remove some of the typical guilt.

Some studies suggest that antioxidants reduce the speed of aging, fight several types of cancer, reduce arthritic inflammation, and improve brain function and vision.
