Ways To Maintain Healthy Brain

• During a 12K run my niece started our discussion
  by asking which I would rather lose first, my
  mental cognition or my physical ability. An odd
  topic to start our race, but it was one that
  traveled us several kilometers down the road.
  Having lost my mother and my sister to
  Alzheimer's disease I have witnessed the mental
  decline as brain messages no longer connect and
  the mind drifts away until no recognition or
  understanding exists. It is a horrible death with
  the only positive aspect being that the one with
  the disease is not aware of the loss, or if so,
  the awareness lasts for only a few milliseconds.
  The loving bystanders, however, are subjected to
  the tragedy of watching someone slip away into
  oblivion over a period of months, years, and even
  decades. I love my brain and its miraculous power
  and I am not willing to relinquish it. A former
  student of mine, a fine, wise, gentle,
  intelligent man, became ill with ALS. That was
  another horror to witness as little by little he
  lost his physical abilities while his brain
  operated in prime condition.

• If you want to maintain a healthy brain and
  neural pathways even throughout old age, you have
  to exercise your brain properly. I cannot fathom
  the dreadfulness of his last minutes of life as
  he knew full well what was happening and could do
  nothing about it. It makes me cry to even think
  about it. Loving bystanders in this case were
  fully aware of his death and anguished that he
  also knew it was imminent. Perhaps his family
  wished that his brain did not function so well.
• And so which would I care to lose first? Neither.
  I cannot even think about such a terrible choice.
  Instead I will focus on neuroplasticity, the
  ability of the healthy brain to function fully
  with easy and automaticity as I tend to its
  needs. While I am unable to read the cards of the
  future, I do know that here and now I can take
  good care of my body and mind and hopefully both
  will act together in a rhythmic, synchronized
  pattern that maintains optimal power and
  delivery. I'd really like to time them to click
  off together.

• With Alzheimer's disease, there is no cure, no
  prevention, and no reversal. While this news is
  dismal and discouraging, I do know there are some
  things that I can do to work to keep my brain in
  an excellent state of reasoning and activation. I
  know that exercise is good for the brain as
  increased oxygen flow feeds the brain as it fills
  the lungs and strengthens the body. And just as
  it feeds and strengthens, physical capacity is
  augmented making me feel better and more capable
  through the exhilaration of movement. As I feel
  healthy and bursting with energy, I can
  accomplish more. These accomplishments lead to
  challenges where I must kick up the brainpower to
  reap successes that in turn pack my positive
  outlook on life. All of these combine to keep me
  all-around healthy as they charge the
  neuroplasticity of each brain cell. It is like a
  two-for-one sale with the price being my personal
  dedication and motivation. In case you didn't
  know... the brain needs a workout the same as the
  body. When you flex the muscles of your brain,
  you're helping to build pathways to memories and
  you can recall them much easier.

• Lumonol Review Here are a few tips on exercising
  your brain so that you build those important
  memory muscles Use all your senses.  Smells,
  textures, colors and tastes can all help you
  remember things much better. Taking notes,
  speaking aloud what you want to remember,
  noticing the smells surrounding you and taking
  visual, colorful mental pictures can stimulate
  the brain in many areas. You can remove the brain
  clutter and remember things much easier if you
  organize your thoughts as you would de-clutter a
  desk or cabinet. Write down things such as
  thoughts, conversations and other experiences you
  want to remember and then go over them at some
  point during the day. Focus on the task at hand.
  Multi-tasking isn't a good idea if you want to
  remember what you're doing and how you did it.
  Your brain becomes confused when you're trying to
  do too many things at once, so be sure you're
  focused on whatever new challenge you choose.
  Make it challenging. Any task that increases your
  knowledge can help flex your brain muscles. For
  example, you may want to learn a new language,
  game, sport or go back to school and take a class
  or two. http//thelumonolreview.com
