Three Key’s To A Better Brain

Almost everyone experiences some degree of changes in memory and brain function as they age.  This can range from simply misplacing keys or taking longer to recall the name of the neighbor you run into at the grocery store, to more serious types of cognitive decline such as Alzheimer’s Disease and other forms of dementia.  Women may especially notice cognitive changes around the time of menopause, when hormone-related “brain fog” can become a bothersome and annoying complaint.  The upside to all this is that the brain responds well to the healthy choices we make in our lives.  Three new studies point to the various ways we can positively influence our brain, memory, and thinking as we age.

Published on Leave a comment on New Study: Gardening Twice A Week Improves Wellbeing And Cuts Down Stress

A new study reveals a significant association between gardening more frequently and improvements in wellbeing, perceived stress and physical activity.

The study from Britain’s Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) surveyed more than 6,000 people, and results indicate that those who garden every day have wellbeing scores 6.6% higher and stress levels 4.2% lower than people who don’t garden at all.

Joys Of Gardening We All Can Experience -
Good For Our Health

RHS Wellbeing Fellow and lead author, Dr Lauriane Chalmin-Pui says; “This is the first time the ‘dose response’ to gardening has been tested and the evidence overwhelmingly suggests that the more frequently you garden—the greater the health benefits.

“In fact gardening every day has the same positive impact on wellbeing as undertaking regular vigorous exercise like cycling or running.

“When gardening, our brains are pleasantly distracted by nature around us. This shifts our focus away from ourselves and our stresses, thereby restoring our minds and reducing negative feelings.”

Respondents who gardened 2-3 times a week had a 4.1% higher wellbeing score and 2.4% lower stress levels compared to people who don’t garden at all. However, gardening fewer than 3 times a month has less of a positive impact.…

4 Simple Ways To Help Keep Alzheimer's Out Of Your Future

By MIKE ZIMMERMAN

Exercise, a good diet, and mental challenges are great for your brain individually. Together? They'll make you unstoppable, at least according to animal studies. Here, ranked from most-research-backed to least, are the things to focus on.

1. Exercise 3 hours a week.

You've experienced it yourself on a mind-clearing walk: Moving your body is really great for your brain, both now and years from now. Majid Fotuhi of NeurExpand recommends keeping your heart rate up for at least 20 minutes at a time. In one study, people who increased their three weekly walks from 10 to 40 minutes expanded their hippocampi by 2% after a year—the equivalent of getting 2 to 4 years younger above the neck. Exercise increases levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that's essentially fertilizer for the brain.

2. Meditate 10 minutes a day.

Too much cortisol is toxic to hippocampus. Basic mindful meditation is an effective weapon against it (as is exercise).…

Hi Folks, Letting You See This Article I Found On The PaleoLeap.Com Website Today. I Think It Makes A Lot Of Sense. As A Researcher In Natural Health 33 Years (self-funded) I Thought I’d Read Their INFO When Researching Ancient Grains Further For Myself, Due To A Real Interest In Them And This Link Came Up In My Google Search.

To Eat Grains Or Not To Eat Grains -
That Was The Question

In my opinion, the KETO DIET and the PALEO DIET are somewhat Unbalanced And Extreme and Some Of The Alternative Foods Are Quite Expensive. However, Their Reasons For Not Having Grains Is More Revealing Than I Anticipated. I knew It Had To Do With Modern Wheat Etc But Read This:

What Is Wrong With Eating Grains? Paleo View

There are modern misconceptions about the role of genes and how they express are difficult to break. It’s now known that diseases that result from errors in the sequence of a gene are extremely uncommon, with less than 1% of diseases falling into this category. Contrary to what you may believe, Celiac is not one of them. (2)

Disease is not written in our Genetic Code.…

Published on Leave a comment on Why Attitude Is More Important Than IQ – Good Things To Know

When it comes to success, it’s easy to think that people blessed with brains are inevitably going to leave the rest of us in the dust. But new research from Stanford University will change your mind (and your attitude).

Psychologist Carol Dweck has spent her entire career studying attitude and performance, and her latest study shows that your attitude is a better predictor of your success than your IQ.

A Fixed Mindset Versus A Growth Mindset

Dweck found that people’s core attitudes fall into one of two categories: a fixed mindset or a growth mindset.

With a fixed mindset, you believe you are who you are and you cannot change. This creates problems when you’re challenged because anything that appears to be more than you can handle is bound to make you feel hopeless and overwhelmed.

People with a growth mindset believe that they can improve with effort. They outperform those with a fixed mindset, even when they have a lower IQ, because they embrace challenges, treating them as opportunities to learn something new.

Common sense would suggest that having ability, like being smart, inspires confidence. It does, but only while the going is easy.…

Published on Leave a comment on The Latest Research Gives New Hope To Patients Who Want To Cure Glaucoma

LOOK WHAT I FOUND. I HOPE THIS POST REALLY BENEFITS YOU!

How To Cure Glaucoma Eye Disease?

Disclaimer: First up, please understand that the term "cure glaucoma" is a search term used to find this page. It's not a claim to a cure. That's very important because it's against the law to make claims about a cure this condition.

So when glaucoma patients use the term "cure glaucoma", what are they actually looking for?

That answer is pretty simple: how to reduce eye pressure naturally so that they can prevent vision loss.

Now, lowering eye pressure will not prevent vision loss alone. Because the eye pressure doesn't cause vision loss. Otherwise, normal-tension glaucoma patients could never lose their sight. They don't have elevated eye pressure. So something else is at play.

So, let's back up...

Eye Pressure Is NOT The Root Cause Of Glaucoma. Treating Eye Pressure Doesn't Treat Glaucoma. Here's a startling fact the eye industry PRAYS you never find out: eye pressure is not the cause of glaucoma. Treating your eye pressure does nothing to cure glaucoma.

What Causes Glaucoma?

Contrary to what you may have heard, eye pressure is not the root cause of glaucoma.…

Published on Leave a comment on Practice This Mini Form Of Therapeutic Meditation – It Will Help You With Stress

By Brad Aronson

On this website, I have placed my Simple form of Meditation, just for pleasant thoughts and relaxation. Two days ago, I came across this Mini Therapeutic form by Brad that is much less complex than most therapeutic meditations.

I thought if I include this on Ours Australia, it could benefit a lot of people. Who does not need to cut down on stress these days? So I thought it most appropriate. Have you ever considered meditation? This may be right for you!

Meditation Is Helpful – If You Don’t Complicate It.
Meditating is a great way to be in the moment. There are countless studies showing that people who meditate are happier. I haven’t mastered meditating, however, I was introduced to a Mini Meditation that was helpful when I had a time of high stress.

I focused on counting and my breath, clearing my mind of everything else. Here’s how the mini meditation works:

  1. Close your eyes
  2. Count slowly to 4 while you take the biggest breath you can. Expand your stomach and then your chest as you breathe. Sit up straight to take in as much air as possible.

Published on Leave a comment on Grander Revitalising Board To Energise Water and Wine, Fruit and Veggies

I've had one of these for 10 - 12 years to restructure Water - making it soft and light and smooth, when placing a glass or jug or bottle of water on it for 30-40mins. A nifty little invention by a Joann Grander, a Naturalist in Hungary. Europeans have a real love and appreciation for Nature and Natural. Now there is a bigger board to place my Fruit and Veggies on for 30 mins before preparing meals.

It seems to have a Beneficial IONS affect on them that makes a difference to the taste of them and the quality of a glass or canter of wine placed on it (just like the water). I'm so delighted with the Revitalising Board, I'm about to have a Grander Home System laid on to the mains, so I can bath in this water, place some in the birdbath and water my plants with it - being a good accompaniment to organic fertilisers. I've just been sharing about these things with a friend who asked me "what I'm up to"........ she loved hearing all about it and it occurred to me, I really should let my Readers know also.…

Published on Leave a comment on The Value And Advantages In Having A Hobby/Hobbies

IT'S NICE TO HAVE A HOBBY: SOMETHING YOU'RE INTERESTED IN, SOMETHING LIGHT-HEARTED. EVERYONE "BUSY BUSY" SEEMS TO BE THE WAY OF MODERN CIVILISATION SINCE THE TURN OF THIS CENTUARY, HEY? BUT IS THAT HEALTHY FOR US OR OUR KIDS? NOT REALLY. NO. SOMEONE SAID TO ME A FEW YEARS AGO "SOME PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY LOVE, TO DO IT?" IT'S SO TRUE THAT SOME DON'T KNOW THEIR PASSION, TO PURSUE IT. THERE ARE BENEFITS WHEN YOU DISCOVER WHAT IT IS, LIKE MANY HAVE EXPERIENCED FOR MONTHS OR YEARS. WE HAVE A FRIEND WHO HAS JUST DISCOVERED HIS AND IT'S REALLY GREAT TO SEE. LIFE SHOULD NOT ALL BE WORK, CHORES AND TV OR SOCIAL MEDIA. TRY AND THINK YOUR WAY AROUND THAT. FEEL FREE TO LOOK FOR IDEAS AND EXPLORE. BE KIND TO YOURSELF, HEY?

6 Reasons To Get A Hobby

By Jaime Kurtz, Ph.D., PsychologyToday.Com

You're Really Not Too Busy.

Over a couple of generations, we have somehow misplaced their free time.

Various things contribute to this, but for many of us, being legitimately busy simply isn't one of them. Instead, we habitually waste time, creating the illusion of busyness.…

Published on Leave a comment on Are Dirt And Germs As Bad As We Think? Learn About GOOD Germs – Say NO To Ignorance!

By Uzma Muneer, D.O.

I WAS BROUGHT UP IN A COUNTRY TOWNSHIP NOT FAR FROM THE BEACH AND PLAYED OUTSIDE A LOT. MANY KIDS ARE BROUGHT UP HAVING CLOSE CONTACT WITH THE SOIL BECAUSE THEIR FAMILY HAS A VEGGIE GARDEN OR THEY LIVE ON A FARM. HEALTH SCIENTISTS ARE SAYING THIS GIVES CHILDREN A GOOD HEALTHY START IN LIFE AND BENEFITS THEIR IMMUNE SYSTEM. THEY’RE ALSO SAYING THAT KEEPING YOUR CHILDREN AND HOUSE SO CLEAN AND OVERUSE OF DISINFECTANTS IS NOT GOOD FOR THEIR HEALTH.

Are You Overly Careful How Your Kids Play?

Some Thoughtful Considerations.

Dr. Muneer specializes in Pediatrics, lets see what she has to say.

Picture this: A baby’s pacifier falls to the ground. A first-time mom sterilizes it thoroughly before giving it back. With her second baby, she quickly runs it under some water first. By her third child, the mom brushes it off and pops it right back into her baby’s mouth. Was her third child any worse for the wear?

We spend a lot of time and energy protecting our babies and kids from germs. But some germs could actually help protect them.

Our health is influenced by all the microorganisms inside our bodies and the surrounding environment.…
