Deans' stroke musings: This Trace Mineral May Help Slow Biological Aging

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

This Trace Mineral May Help Slow Biological Aging

This isn’t a supplement story; it’s a diet pattern story. Copper-rich foods also deliver fiber, phytonutrients, and healthy fats that support anti-inflammatory balance.

Aim for at least 0.9 mg of copper per day from whole foods. That’s the recommended daily allowance (RDA). Some new research suggests that 1.2–1.6 mg/day may optimize brain health for older adults.
Here are the top food sources of copper:

A new study shows that small amounts of copper may help keep your cells younger, longer.

Make it delicious:

Lunch: Lentil–quinoa bowl with arugula, tahini-lemon dressing, and sesame seeds.
Dinner: Seared salmon (or tofu) with farro, spinach, and walnut–herb pesto.
Snack: Dark chocolate with a handful of cashews.

Bonus points: Combine copper-rich foods with other anti-inflammatory staples like olive oil, herbs, cruciferous vegetables, and berries, and cut back on ultra-processed foods and added sugars.

Tiny Swaps, Big Payoffs:

Swap croutons for toasted sunflower seeds on salads.
Stir cacao powder into Greek yogurt.
Trade one refined-grain side for lentils or farro a few times a week.
Finish roasted greens with tahini and lemon.

How to Boost Copper Absorption Naturally

Even the healthiest diet can fall short if your body isn’t absorbing minerals efficiently. Here’s how to make copper work harder for you:

Pair with vitamin C: Combine copper sources with citrus, bell peppers, or broccoli to enhance absorption.
Balance [zingk]nounA mineral important for immune function and wound healing.Learn More intake: High-dose zinc can block copper uptake — so avoid unnecessary zinc supplements.
Rethink iron dosing: Large doses of iron can interfere with copper absorption; use only when prescribed. (For me I need to take iron pills so I pass the hemoglobin test to donate blood; I'm O negative(Univesal donor), so very popular.)
Add healthy fats: Enjoy copper-rich meals with avocado, nuts, or olive oil to improve mineral transport.

A few small shifts, like sprinkling sunflower seeds on a salad, savoring dark chocolate, or cooking with mushrooms and chickpeas, can keep your cells younger and your brain sharper. No megadoses required! Just mindful, mineral-rich meals that work as hard as you do.
