If your doctor told you that mental decline is simply a matter of aging, think again, because I have sharp news for you. It may not be possible to prevent memory lapses, but you can maintain a healthy and sharp brain power as you age gracefully.
More and more reports are coming out from scientific research in some exciting findings about the flexible power of the brain to heal itself. It doesn't matter how old you may be, the brain can be exercised and modify its structure to ward off age related degeneration.
Dr. Al Sears who wrote a report on the aging brain said your brain is like a muscle, so you will have to use it or lose it. He goes on to describe the tremendous flexibility of the brain and I quote "Your brain is a dynamic, adaptable system. Its neurons respond to environmental factors and mental stimulation. By stimulating your mind, you preserve your memory. What’s more, you can even restore the clarity you had in your youth!"
Other research shows that the more you stimulate and exercise you brain and feed it with healthy nutritious brain food, the less likely your chance of developing Alzheimer's disease. The more you stimulate and create connections, or synapses between your brain cells by using your brain, the higher your ability to resist disease.
Exercising your brain is only a job half done. Your brain is the most important part of your body which needs constant regular exercise. You can combine the two by using the best form of exercise the as been developed by man according to NASA, which is the rebounding or cellular exercise. In this way you will be exercising every cell in the brain.
The ideal way to keep your brain sharp and focus is relaxation and meditation. These are crucial for maintaining memory and cognitive abilities as mental exercises. That is the best way to relieve stress.
Stress is a killer of your brain cells rapidly deteriorating your mental power as you age. The reason for that is when you are stressed, you body releases more of the cortisol hormone. Cortisol in itself is not the problem, but when in excess it becomes toxic to the brain cells.
What is the big deal about cortisol? It threatens your mental health more as you age, because unlike most other hormones that fall in their production level as you age, cortisol level in your body actually rise as you get older. To keep your mind sharp and youthful, you must consciously work to lower your cortisol level.
You can do this simply by reducing your stress level. A quick and effective way to reduce stress is to get out of the Rat Race. Fight for your freedom, time freedom, financial freedom, you owe it to yourself.
