It has been estimated that the average human brain contains about 100 billion neurons and, on average, each neuron is connected to 1000 other neurons. This results in the generation of vast and complex neural networks that are the mainstay of the brain's processing capabilities. Neurons are the basic data processing units, the 'chips', of the brain. Each neuron receives electrical inputs from about 1000 other neurons.
New research from Italy suggests that low levels of vitamin D may increase your risk of erectile dysfunction. When researchers tested 143 men with varying degrees of erectile dysfunction, they found that nearly half of them were coming up deficient in D, and only one in five had optimal levels of the nutrient.
Vitamins A, E, C, B and Zinc work together to keep your body functioning at its optimal level. The Institute of Medicine recommends that men get 900 micrograms of vitamin A, 90 milligrams of vitamin C and 9.4 milligrams of zinc each day, while women need 700 micrograms of vitamin A, 75 milligrams of vitamin C and 6.8 milligrams of zinc. Both men and women should get 12 milligrams of vitamin E and 10 micrograms of vitamin D daily. These vitamins are essential for the health of your cells, bones, organs and heart and it is crucial to get enough of all of them to maximize their benefits.
