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.…

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.…

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.…

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.…

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.…

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.…
