"Scientific studies have proven that natural compounds found in orange peel support brain health, enhance memory, learning, and overall mental performance, and even hold potential as a treatment for conditions like depression."
Orange Peel: A Revolution in Brain Health
I've always been curious about one thing: in experimental studies, participants were given orange juice to drink for 36 weeks or were provided with 1-2 capsules of citrus antioxidants. Their cognitive performance was measured, and significant improvements were observed. Similarly, depressed young individuals were administered citrus antioxidants for weeks, and their progress out of depression was monitored.
But how?
What molecular mechanism allows orange peel antioxidants to achieve this? It seems that scientists are starting to provide clearer answers. Citrus antioxidants have been found to increase the levels of a neuroregulator in the brain called TGF-β1 (Transforming Growth Factor Beta 1). This directly promotes the formation of new synapses and strengthens memory. New neuron connections help regulate speech, boost confidence, and in a way, give us hope for the future.

When I decided to dig deeper into the literature on oranges this morning, I found that they truly contain compounds that can shine a light on our future—offering remedies for the nation's youth, elderly, and all of us.
A small note I’d like to add: the greatest treasure we possess in this life is our brain. And what doesn’t it contain?
The memories of living our favorite moments with loved ones are there.
The scent of jasmine when we first smelled it, or the earthy aroma after a rain shower in the sun is there.
The moments when we laughed until our stomachs hurt are there.
The excitement we felt the first time we went to the cinema is there.
The pride we brought to our family when we graduated from university, and the sparkle in our parents' eyes is there.
The future we work day and night to build for ourselves and those we love, our hard-earned dreams, is there.
Even the homeland we defend with all our being, unity, and spirit—it’s all there.
And we must protect those memories, those moments, and that organ that carries us into the future as a whole. For this reason, the one thing we must always do in this life, without delay or neglect, is take care of our health.
To protect our health, nature offers us endless options.
I always say life is about choices. Living with happiness and health is in our hands, just as much as living a life filled with stress and unhappiness. Both are our choices.
