What is the Brain? What It Really Does & How to Best Care For It

A health article about brain health from Your Health Online the A to Z directory of dealing with Health Problems & nutritional Self Care Strategies

The brain is an extremely complex organ responsible for so many parts of everyday life. Things like functioning, development, mood, energy, fine and gross motor movement, and more are all brain responsibilities.

Often when people discuss brain health, it's regarding aging and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.

Why is brain health important for everyone? Your brain is a powerful organ you will need to use your entire life.

There’s no option for brain transplants. You have one opportunity to care for it, so starting at a young age makes a big difference!

In this online health guide, you will learn about this important organ, including what it is, a basic understanding of how it works, and how you can keep it healthy and strong.

What Is The Brain And What Does It Do?

It may seem obvious what the brain does, but this three-pound organ is responsible for so much. In this section, you’ll discover some of the amazing and fascinating functions of the brain and how it works.

What Does the Brain Do?

At a glance, here are some of the main things the brain is responsible for:

●      Receives information from the five senses

●      Stores memories

●      Controls thoughts

●      Maintains unconscious or automatic functions like heartbeat, breathing, body temperature, and digestion

●      Establishes moods, feelings, and emotions

●      Determines behaviors

●      Controls motor functions like speech, movement, and balance

●      Responsible for reasoning and problem-solving

●      Development

●      Maintains balance, movement, and coordination

●      Responsible for creativity and intuitionAdditional Fun Facts About the Brain

●      The brain is the most important part of the central nervous system

●      The brain uses up 20% of the body’s energy resources

●      The brain is the body’s largest and most complex organ

●      The brain is about 75% water

●      People use all of their brain (not just 10% of it)

●      The average person’s brain generates 12,000 to 60,000 thoughts a day

●      Brains aren’t fully formed until a person is about 25 years old

●      Unlike a computer, a human brain is believed to have unlimited storage capacity

●      Information from the brain can travel 268 miles per hour

●      Babies brains grow really fast -- by the time a human is two years old, they’ll have already grown 80% of their brain

●      The brain stops growing at the age of 18, but that doesn’t mean it stops developing or learning

●      Elderly populations can learn new things and make new neural connections

●      Men's and women’s brains are believed to react differently to pain

●      After accounting for water, the brain is largely made of fat

●      The brain is 60% white matter and 40% gray matter

Parts of the Brain

The brain is made up of different parts, and each is responsible for different functions.

There are three major parts of the brain:

●      Cerebrum

●      Cerebellum

●      Brainstem

The cerebrum makes up the largest part of the brain. It includes the right and left hemispheres and is responsible for speech, reasoning, emotions, learning, and fine motor movements.

It also interprets information received from the five senses.

The cerebellum is located at the back of the brain under the cerebrum.

It deals with voluntary muscle movement, balance, and coordination. It also helps maintain posture.

The brainstem connects the brain to the body through the spinal cord.

The brainstem controls automatic functions like breathing, heart rate, body temperature, digestion, swallowing, sleep cycles, and more.

What Are Gray Matter And White Matter?

Most of us aren’t brain experts, but we often hear terms used to explain how the brain functions. Two of those terms are gray matter and white matter.

You may know that gray and white matter are important to the brain, but you may not know what they are or why they matter.

White matter is the part of the brain and spinal cord responsible for communicating information to different parts of the brain (in the gray matter areas).

This part of the brain is sheathed in a white fatty protein called myelin, hence the name “white matter.”

Gray matter is the part of the brain where things are processed. Gray matter is essential to sensory activity, higher learning, memory, thought, motor control, coordination, and more.

Although the brain has more white matter, gray matter uses about 94% of the oxygen used by the brain.

Why Do People Talk About the Right And Left Sides Of The Brain?

The brain has two major hemispheres: the right and left. Bundles of nerve fibers connect these two sides. Each side of the brain is responsible for different thinking and cognitive skills.

It’s believed that the right side of the brain is responsible for:

●      Intuitive thoughts

●      Random sequencing

●      Creativity

●      Emotional thought

●      Non-verbal

●      Imagination

●      Adventurous impulses

●      Music awareness

The left side of the brain is thought to provide:

●      Analytical thoughts

●      Attention to detail

●      Ordered sequencing

●      Logic

●      Science and math

●      Number skills

●      Language

The left side of the brain controls the motor skills of the right side of the body, and the right side controls the motor skills of the left side.

It has long been thought that people are left or right-brain dominant.

For instance, people who are good at arts and creativity would be considered “right-brained,” and those who are drawn to logic, math, and reason would be considered “left-brained.”

Several studies have been conducted to see whether people use one side of their brain more than the other and if this shows up in their personality and interests.

So far, according to brain scans, this has proved to be something of a myth.

According to a 2013 study entitled “An Evaluation of the Left-Brain vs. Right-Brain Hypothesis:”

It has been conjectured that individuals may be left-brain dominant or right-brain dominant based on personality and cognitive style, but neuroimaging data has not provided clear evidence whether such phenotypic differences in the strength of left-dominant or right-dominant networks exist.

Studies also show that the left and right sides of the brain work in collaboration.

Carl Zimmer, a science writer for Discover magazine, explains it this way:

The pop psychology notion of a left brain and a right brain doesn’t capture their intimate working relationship. The left hemisphere specializes in picking out the sounds that form words and working out the syntax of the phrase, for example, but it does not have a monopoly on language processing.

The right hemisphere is more sensitive to the emotional features of language, tuning in to the slow rhythms of speech that carry intonation and stress.

Common Brain Conditions

The brain has nearly limitless capacity, is faster than a computer, and has more potential than we can imagine.

But this organ can also be fragile, and there are multiple things, including injury and disease, that can affect how well it functions.

Many conditions can negatively affect the brain, but some of the most common include:

●      Brain injuries

●      Cerebrovascular injuries like strokes and aneurysms

●      Brain tumors

●      Neurodegenerative disorders like dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease, or Multiple Sclerosis

●      Other neurological disorders, such as headaches, seizures, and vertigo

●      Psychological conditions that might include anxiety, depression, bipolar, post-traumatic stress disorder, or schizophrenia

●      Infections like meningitis Brain Injuries

A person experiencing a brain injury may have symptoms that include:

●      Nausea or vomiting

●      Confused or disoriented

●      Dizziness

●      Headache

●      Loss of consciousness

●      Convulsions or seizures

●      Clear fluid draining from nose or ears

●      Coma

●      Loss of balance

●      Inability to speak

●      Loss of movement or feeling in a part of the body

●      Difficulty walkingBrain Tumors

As with all of the examples, a person with a brain tumor may not experience all of these symptoms, but a brain tumor may cause:

●      Headaches

●      Nausea or vomiting

●      Seizures

●      Trouble walking or other loss of motor coordination

●      Changes in appetite

●      Personality changes or mood swings

●      Fatigue

●      Memory loss

●      Confusion

●      Depression

Not all neurodegenerative diseases are the same, but when talking about dementia, common signs are:

●      Memory loss

●      Changes in mood or personality

●      Difficulty with motor coordination

●      Slurred speech or other speech problems

●      Unusual agitation, apathy, or anxiety

●      Trouble completing familiar tasks

●      Poor judgment

●      New difficulty with short-term memory

Other Neurological Disorders

There are many different types of neurological disorders, and symptoms are unique to each type. For example, someone with vertigo might experience:

●      Abnormal eye movements

●      Headaches

●      Sweating

●      Feelings of being unbalanced, like swaying, tilting, or spinning

Psychological Conditions

Like other neurological disorders, psychological conditions will each have unique symptoms.

Not only that, but psychological issues will manifest differently from person to person.

Two people diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder may experience different symptoms or triggers.

With that being said, there are some common symptoms that people might have when struggling with psychological problems. These symptoms may include:

●      Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed

●      Fear of new people, places, or experiences

●      Strong feelings of sadness, sometimes without a known cause

●      Difficulty with concentration

●      Mood swings

●      Low energy or fatigue

●      Alcohol or drug abuse

●      Confusion

●      Extreme feelings of guilt

●      Social withdrawal

●      Dramatic changes in sleeping or eating habits

Infections Affecting the Brain

Infections in the brain can be caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, or in some rarer cases, protozoa or parasites.

Other parts of the central nervous system, such as the spinal cord, can also develop an infection.

Possible symptoms of an infection include:

●      Trouble with speech

●      Confusion

●      Irritability

●      Fever

●      Chills

●      Headache

●      Sensitivity to light

●      Nausea or vomiting

●      Changes in personality or behavior

●      Neck stiffness

●      Sleepiness

How To Care For Your Brain

Now that you know more about the brain, its major functions, and why it’s important to protect, let’s talk about the best way to care for your brain. 

A Quick Look at Ways to Keep the Brain Healthy

●      Exercise

●      Take care of heart health

●      Develop a healthy diet

●      Keep your brain sharp with activity

●      Avoid head trauma

●      Lower your stress

●      Get enough sleep

●      Don’t abuse alcohol

●      Quit smoking

●      Keep social

Exercise To Keep Your Brain Healthy

Exercise is a foundational part of keeping a body healthy. Whether you’re talking about brain health or just general well-being, exercise is usually at the top of the list of things you should do.

But how does exercise help the brain, and what kind of exercises are best?

One of the main reasons that exercise is healthy for the brain is that it’s healthy for the heart and the entire cardiovascular system. We’ll discuss this in greater depth in the next section, but for now, understand that a healthy heart helps keep the brain healthy.

In addition to helping keep your heart healthy, exercise is also beneficial for stimulating chemical changes in the brain that help increase learning and thinking. Exercise can also be a natural mood booster and help reduce stress that can negatively affect the brain.

In an interview with the Cleveland Clinic, neuropsychologist Aaron Bonner-Jackson, is quoted saying,

We know that physical exercise, and aerobic exercise in particular, is very beneficial for maintaining brain health, even in people who are at risk for developing dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. You can make a major difference in terms of how your body is functioning and, as a result, how your brain is functioning.

How Much Exercise is Necessary?

Experts recommend getting around 150 minutes of “moderate-intensity” aerobic exercise a week.

Exercise that falls under this category could include:

●      Jogging

●      Biking

●      Walking

●      Hiking

●      Swimming

●      Kayaking

●      Horseback riding

Vigorous activities can also be beneficial but are unnecessary for maintaining a healthy brain and body. If you choose to do more physically demanding activities, the recommendation drops to a minimum of 75 minutes a week.

More intense forms of exercise might include:

●      Swimming fast

●      Running

●      Hiking more difficult trails

●      Contact sports like football or rugby

●      Gymnastics

●      Martial artsHow to Exercise With a Busy Schedule

For many busy people, finding the time to exercise can feel impossible.

Here are some helpful tips for maintaining a healthy exercise life even when life is hectic:

●      Exercise a little at a time. You don’t need to do all your 150 minutes (plus) activities in one go. Try shorter bursts of exercise to maintain a healthy lifestyle. In fact, it’s better to get some exercise daily than only exercising once a week.

●      All exercise counts. You don’t have to hit up the gym to exercise. Raking the leaves, mowing the yard, shoveling the snow, and carrying laundry up the stairs are all examples of informal exercise that are probably already built into your life.

●      Get up a little earlier. This recommendation isn’t everyone’s favorite, but it's a great way to start the day if you get up a little earlier in the morning and fit in 20-30 minutes of exercise.

●      Use your commute for exercise. If you have an office job close to your house, you can try walking or riding your bike to work instead of riding the bus or driving your car.

●      Exercise during boring times. This may seem silly, but you can take those periods of downtime while waiting for water to boil or for a commercial break to end to get in short periods of exercise. Run in place, do some pushups, or simply walk around your house or apartment.

●      Go with your kids. Busy parents often struggle to find time to shower, let alone get in intense exercise. One way to get around this is to include the kids in your exercise routine.

Take the baby for a walk around the neighborhood in a jogging stroller.

When the kids get older, you can go for family hikes or bike rides. Not only will you be getting exercise, but you’ll also have a fun bonding time as a family.

●      Enjoy the exercise. So often, people think of exercise as grueling and difficult, but exercise can also be fun. Try finding the type of exercise you enjoy. For you, maybe joining an adult sports team in your area will provide exercise that you look forward to.

Improve Your Heart Health

Heart health and brain health are intricately bound. The health of the brain is heavily reliant on how well the heart works.

According to an article by the Cleveland Clinic:

A recent study shows people diagnosed with heart disease may have more brain changes than those with healthy hearts. Researchers studied 7,888 people over the age of 50 for more than a decade.

None of the participants had a history of heart attack, chest pain, stroke, or dementia at the start of the study. Study results show that the people who went on to develop heart disease also experienced a more rapid decline in brain function than those who never had a heart event.

What is the connection between these two very different systems in the body? When the body’s arteries and blood vessels become built up with plaque or blood clots, it can harm the heart and brain.

Plaque buildup can cause high blood pressure and potentially a heart attack, but it can also contribute to stroke and vascular dementia.

To take care of your heart, it’s helpful to:

●      Monitor cholesterol and blood sugar

●      Maintain a healthy blood pressure

●      Develop a healthy diet

●      Exercise

●      Quit smoking

●      Maintain a healthy weight

●      Drink in moderation

●      Manage stress

●      Get enough sleep at night

●      Don’t sit too long (get up and stretch your limbs)

Best Diets For Brain Health 

A healthy brain often starts with a healthy diet. Whether you’re discussing preventing the risk of disease, maintaining a healthy mood, or keeping the brain sharp, your food intake can significantly affect the brain.

There is no single superfood that will keep your brain healthy, but instead, a long-term balanced diet, including a mix of fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and omega 3s, is thought to help maintain brain health.

Although not all nutritionists agree on the perfect diet, many believe these foods will help keep your body and mind healthy:

●      Berries

●      Wild salmon, cod, haddock, and other fish rich in Omega 3s

●      Nuts and seeds like walnuts, flaxseed, and sunflower seeds

●      Avocados

●      Beans

●      Citrus fruits

●      Colorful vegetables

●      Dark chocolate

●      Leafy greens

●      Spices like turmeric, cinnamon, and ginger

●      Black coffee and black or green teas

●      Whole grains like brown rice, barley, and oatmeal

●      Eggs in moderation

●      Olive oil

●      Red wine in moderation

Best foods to avoid or eat in moderation:

●      Sugary drinks like soda, sports drinks, or sugary fruit drinks

●      Diet drinks with artificial sweeteners

●      Refined carbs

●      Foods high in industrially produced trans fat

●      Highly processed foods like chips, microwave popcorn, or ready-made meals

●      Aspartame

●      Alcohol in excess

●      Fish high in mercury

●      Margarine

●      Fried foods

●      Doughnuts

●      Red meat

●      High fructose corn syrupHow To Maintain A Healthy Diet

Maintaining a healthy diet has undeniable health benefits, but sticking to a plan can sometimes feel impossible. Many people start diets only to abandon them quickly when they don’t fit into their lifestyle or when things become stressful, and they fall back on old habits.

Here are some helpful tips to change your diet into a healthier one without losing your mind:

●      Make small changes. Attempting to flip your entire diet in a day isn’t likely sustainable. That’s why it’s better to incorporate new dietary changes slowly. Try adding more vegetables to the weekly meal plan. Swap your unhealthy snack for a healthier snack you still enjoy.

●      Start weeding out unhealthy foods. If you have unhealthy foods in your house, you’ll probably eat them. You’ll start dragging in the afternoon and grab the snack you know isn’t good for you. Try getting healthy foods that excite you, and you look forward to eating.

●      Don’t be too hard on yourself. It’s a common temptation to toss a whole diet when you indulge in something you know to be unhealthy. Eating a piece of pie or getting a basket of fries at the local fast food place doesn’t undo all your hard work to stay healthy.

○      Eating a doughnut for breakfast doesn’t have to keep you from eating healthy the rest of the day, and if you have a week of quick processed meals, it doesn’t mean you can’t go back to your healthier foods the next week.

●      Keep healthy snacks ready and prepared. One of the biggest reasons someone eats unhealthy snacks is because they get a sudden craving for something to eat. They get a sudden urge to eat, and the easiest thing to grab is a packet of cookies or a bag of chips.

○      Be prepared with healthier snacks like homemade trail mix, cut-up fruits or veggies, or hard-boiled eggs.

○      The added bonus is these healthier snacks will do a better job of improving your mood, providing energy, and making you feel full longer.

●      Make sure you’re full. Many people start diets primarily to lose weight. As a result, they may try unhealthy plans that significantly cut their calories, fat, and carbs. These crash diets can be dangerous and usually don’t lead to long-term weight goals.

○      Eating healthy can lead to weight loss, which can benefit overall health, but focusing only on a person’s weight only misses the point. Body health isn’t only about weight, and losing weight too quickly can be detrimental to the body.

○      Instead, try to find filling foods that leave you feeling satisfied. Foods with protein, healthy fats, and fiber are good choices for feeling full longer. In general, healthier foods help you feel full longer because you get the nutrients your body needs and avoid sugar crashes that make you hungrier between meals.

●      Meal prep and meal plan. Like exercising, many Americans eat unhealthily because they’re busy and don’t have time to prepare healthier meals. Meal prep and meal planning can help prepare your week so you aren’t coming home after a long day of work hungry and not knowing what to eat.

○      Some prep a whole week's worth of meals at the beginning of the week. They pick a day off to make meals and put them in their refrigerator for the rest of the week, ready to eat.

○      You can also choose to prepare certain parts of the meal ahead of time (like a salad you can eat during the week or sides prepared ahead of time.)

○      Meal planning can also help you stick to a healthier diet and has the added bonus of lowering your grocery bill. Keep a meal plan on the wall for each dinner that includes healthy options.

How to Keep Your Brain Sharp

It was once believed that the human brain peaked in early adulthood and deteriorated from there. Experts also thought an injured or diseased brain couldn’t heal and gray matter or neural connections lost were lost forever.

Although the brain is indeed finished developing around age 25, it doesn’t mean it can’t heal or grow. After new discoveries in neuroscience, experts now know that the brain can heal.

The brain can produce new gray matter and new connections. Instead of being stagnant, the brain is a muscle that can be strengthened.

This strengthening is referred to as “neuroplasticity,” which is the brain’s ability to form new synaptic connections in response to learning something new or having a new experience.

To keep the brain sharp and strong, here are some tips:

●      Stay curious. Having a natural curiosity helps our brain become more receptive to learning, and we enjoy learning more. Find something you’re interested in and watch YouTube videos, pick up a book about it, or read an article.

●      Keep learning. Some people mistakenly believe that learning ends at graduation, but learning can be a lifelong pursuit. It also helps keep the brain strong.

●      Try new things. Harvard Health shares, “Challenging your brain with mental exercise is believed to activate processes that help maintain individual brain cells and stimulate communication among them. Many people have jobs that keep them mentally active but pursuing a hobby or learning a new skill can function the same way.”

○      Some ideas for new activities to try:

■      Learn a new instrument

■      Learn a new language

■      Try a new sport

■      Start gardening

■      Learn how to paint or draw

■      Learn woodworking

■      Learn how to use your expensive camera

■      Find someone to teach you how to sew, knit, or crochet

■      Start writing creatively

●      Practice brain exercises. Brain exercises can help keep your brain sharp by practicing concentration, memory, and focus.

○      Brain exercises might include:

■      Jigsaw puzzles

■      Cards or board games

■      Participate in activities that use all your senses -- baking is a good example

■      Take a new route to work or to the grocery store

■      Meditate or pray

■      Crossword puzzles or sudoku

■      Play video games (especially problem-solving ones)

■      Socialize

How to Lower Your Stress

Lowering stress sounds like a lovely dream, but how can you conceivably do this?

You’re trying to balance work and personal life, your kids’ schedule is hectic, and you’re doing everything you can to keep the house clean and a hot meal on the table.

Also, life is unpredictable, and you may have received sad or disappointing news recently.

You may have lost your job or discovered someone you care about was diagnosed with a health issue.

Stress is a normal part of life, and stressful things will happen.

However, there are things you can do to help cope with stress and reduce stressors.

●      Exercise. As already discussed, exercise is good for the brain but also for reducing stress. Exercise lowers stress hormones and releases endorphins that help improve mood.

●      Get good rest. Sleep deprivation is a sure way to increase stress and anxiety. Getting a good rest at night gives our bodies and brains time to recharge and improves memory, mood, and outlook.

●      Get social support. Spending time with friends and family reduces stress and increases the sense of belonging and self-worth.

●      Get in a good laugh. Laughter releases endorphins into your brain, lowers blood pressure, relaxes your muscles, and even boosts the immune system.

●      Don’t take on too much. It’s okay to say no to things when you’re overwhelmed or overcommitted. Your kids don’t have to join every activity offered, and you don’t have to raise your hand for every project at work.

●      Eat a healthy diet. A well-balanced diet helps improve the mind, health, and mood.

●      Find things to be grateful for. Changing your attitude from negative to positive is a proven way to reduce stress. Expressing your gratitude can help reduce stress and change your outlook.

●      Do something for fun. Have a hobby or interest apart from work or responsibilities. Find something you enjoy doing, like painting, participating in a sport, hiking, fishing, boating, etc.

It could also be spontaneous or unplanned, like going for a drive down the coast or singing karaoke for the first time.

How to Sleep Well

According to the CDC, one in three adults isn’t getting enough sleep. It’s recommended that adults get between seven and nine hours of sleep, and getting less than this can lead to many health concerns, including high blood pressure, heart disease, mental distress, memory loss, changes in mood, trouble with concentration, and poor balance.

Physical or mental health issues, a busy schedule, or stress and anxiety may cause trouble sleeping or getting enough sleep at night.

Although some sleep issues are unavoidable (for example, having a newborn baby), others can be improved.

Here are some tips for getting a better night’s rest:

●      Turn off screens. Give yourself time before bed when you aren’t watching TV or spending time on your phone. Screens make it difficult to fall asleep and may increase insomnia. Try reading a book instead, which is known to reduce stress and help you fall asleep naturally.

●      Give yourself enough time to sleep. Most adults have, at one point or another, pulled an all-nighter or stayed up late into the night finishing a paper or work project. While this is okay to do occasionally, it should not be a normal mode of operation. Work will be there for you in the morning, so pick a time of night when work or chores are put aside and focus on rest instead.

●      Get exercise. Exercise has an added benefit of making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep at night. Avoid exercising before bedtime, as this will signal to your body that it’s time to stay awake.

●      Cut back on caffeine. Try to avoid consuming caffeine later in the afternoon. For some who are very sensitive to caffeine, it may be helpful to reduce or eliminate daily caffeine.

●      Develop a sleep schedule. People tend to sleep better when they have a well-developed circadian rhythm -- or, in other words, try to go to sleep and wake up around the same time every day.

●      Get rid of distractions in the bedroom. Make the bedroom a place of rest and relaxation -- not a place of work.

●      Consult a specialist. If you’re struggling to sleep due to a mental or physical issue, it’s best to consult a doctor. They may be able to prescribe medication to help and may issue a sleep study to understand why you’re having trouble sleeping.

Keeping Your Brain Healthy Starts With Living a Healthy Life

To take care of your brain, remember the advice you’ve been given for years about living a healthy life.

Get exercise, eat a healthy, well-balanced diet high in whole foods and low in heavily processed foods, and use your brain every day.

Our brains are meant to be used, so continue finding things that interest you.

You’re never too old to learn something new or try a new hobby.

Vitamin & Nutrient Associations

Even when we try to eat well, we're disadvantaged. The nutritional content of most food has been compromised over the years, not only by deficient soils and modern production, transportation, storage and processing methods, but also by the enormous amounts of chemical and artificial substances added to promote growth, storage life, taste and appearance.

It's for this reason that more and more medical authorities are advocating the use of vitamin and mineral supplements. However, finding them in the right combination can be both confusing and costly.

The nutrition products I am going to recommend you make use of knowledge gained from the botanical world's 6,000 year history. They incorporated health building nutritional herbs with the best modern technology to help our bodies cleanse and detoxify so that the cells - the tiniest living units - can be as fully nourished as possible.

This allows the cells to grow, repair and to perform their functions with the best possible efficiency so that we feel and look better and are more able to prevent and fight disease. Once the body begins to clear itself of toxins it can more efficiently absorb nutrition.

Further reading through our articles on health issues will give you a body of information that will help you decide what options you have to deal with the underlying causes of your problem through giving your body the nutrition products that will assist you body to heal from the inside out.

You can visit our health food products page here: Herbalife Health Nutrition Supplements and learn more about our core nutrition program, the Cellular Nutrition Advanced Program and also check out these targeted products, Florafiber to replace your healthy flora and Aloe Vera Juice to help cleanse your system.

Also using NouriFusion Skin Essentials will clearly help provide you with excellent skincare support for your ‘outer nutrition’.
