YOU, YOUR KIDS & SCHOOL: The benefits of outdoor play
Outdoor play is crucial to a child’s healthy brain and body development. Now that the weather looks like it has finally turned the corner and warmer temperatures and sunshine are on the way, it’s exciting to think about children and adults enjoying more of the outdoors once again. Play is important for a child’s healthy brain and body development, and it’s through play that children engage and interact with the world around them. Children explore, take risks, experiment, develop fine and gross motor muscle memory, problem solve, discover and use imagination all through play. Anne Broderius Outdoor play takes children away from excessive TV and computer or video games, which have become all too common a form of play. Outdoor play provides an opportunity for important physical activity and children moving their bodies in a fun way that supports many areas of development. It’s important to encourage different kinds of play. Physical play such as walking, running, climbing, skipping, rolling, jumping and biking should be encouraged. These types of play help children develop gross motor skills, balance and coordination. Do you remember being a kid and rolling down a hill, playing on a swing set or riding bike all day long? Another type of play is constructive play. See how creative children are when given some random materials such as wood blocks, PVC pipe, balls, string, boxes and canisters. Do you remember how much fun it was to play with an old cardboard box as a kid? Sometimes children have more fun with the empty box than with the item that came inside of it. Children need lots of opportunities for social play. Providing children a chance to play with other children similar in age is important for development. Through social play, children learn how to share, cooperate, take […]
After reading this, you will start eating FISH from today
Eating fish oil, rich in omega 3 fatty acids, can help reduce the risk of asthma by nearly 70 per cent, finds a study. Fish oil is known to be rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) or n-3 and contains omega fatty acids 3 and 6, which play a central role in the normal development and functioning of the brain and central nervous system. The study found that “certain types of n-3 (from marine oils) were significantly associated with a decreased risk of having asthma or asthma-like symptoms by up to 62 per cent, while high n-6 consumption (from vegetable oils) was associated with an increased risk by up to 67 per cent,” said Andreas Lopata, Professor from the James Cook University in Australia. Around 334 million people worldwide suffer from asthma, and about a quarter of a million people die from it every year. “Even if you factor in contaminants, such as mercury found in some fish populations, the benefits of fish and seafood intake far more outweighs the potential risks,” Lopata said, in the paper published in International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. However, she stressed the need for further work to understand how the beneficial role of n-3 could be optimised and negative effects of n-6 be minimised. For the study, the team included 642 people who worked in a fish processing factory in a village in South Africa.
Consuming a Handful of Nuts Every Day can Boost Memory in Elderly
While age is the greatest risk factor for memory decline, eating a handful of nuts daily can promote mental health and memory skills by up to 60 percent, reports a new study. The findings of the study are published in The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging . "By eating more than 10 grams (or two teaspoons) of nuts per day older people could improve their cognitive function by up to 60 per cent compared to those not eating nuts effectively warding off what would normally be experienced as a natural two-year cognition decline," said lead researcher Ming Li from the University of South Australia. ‘Consuming nuts for an extended period of time could be the key to better brain health, including improved thinking, reasoning, and memory in seniors. ’ Read More.. The reason could be because peanuts have specific anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects that help reduce cognitive decline including dementia. Nuts are also known to be high in healthy fats, protein, and fiber with nutritional properties that can lower cholesterol and improve cognitive health. The study included 4,822 Chinese adults aged 55 and above. According to the World Health Organization, the number of people living with dementia globally is at 47 million. By 2030, this is projected to rise to 75 million, and by 2050, global dementia cases are estimated to almost triple. "Population aging is one of the most substantial challenges of the twenty-first century," Li said. "Not only are people living longer they naturally experience changes to conceptual reasoning, memory, and processing speed. "While there is no cure for age-related cognitive decline and neurogenerative disease, variations in what people eat are delivering improvements for older people. "If we can find ways to help older people retain their cognitive health and independence for longer even by modifying […]
Experts warn about harmful side effects of 5G, which requires 20,000 satellites beaming narrow-band signals to Earth that can “fry the cells of all living things”
( Natural News ) You can try to run, but you certainly won’t be able to hide from the devastating impact of 5G (fifth generation) wireless communications technology, should the tech cabal successfully complete its planned rollout over the next several years. According to reports , the scheme involves launching some 20,000 satellites into orbit, along with potentially millions of small cell towers here on the ground, in order to saturate the planet with radioactive transmission signals. The wireless industry, of course, insists that the high-speed technology is completely safe, as does the federal government. But Dr. Sharon Goldberg, a professor and doctor of internal medicine, insists otherwise. “Wireless radiation has biological effects. Period,” Dr. Goldberg stated during a recent testimony before the Senate, which you can watch on YouTube . “This is no longer a subject for debate when you look at PubMed and the peer-reviewed literature.” 5G causes cardiomyopathy, DNA and neuropsychiatric damage, and cancer, warns Dr. Goldberg Even with existing 3G and 4G wireless technologies, which are substantially weaker than 5G portends to be, problems are widespread. “These effects are seen in all life forms; plants, animals, insects, microbes,” Dr. Goldberg contends. “In humans, we have clear evidence of cancer now – there is no question. We have evidence of DNA damage, cardiomyopathy, which is the precursor of congestive heart failure, (and) neuropsychiatric effects.” Nobody can yet say for sure the extent of how harmful 5G will be until the switch is flipped. But it will be harmful, and this is precisely why Dr. Goldberg says it shouldn’t be allowed.

A nutty solution for improving brain health: Study
Sydney, Mar 22 (IBNS): Long-term, high nut consumption could be the key to better cognitive health in older people according to new research from the University of South Australia. In a study of 4822 Chinese adults aged 55+ years, researchers found that eating more than 10 grams of nuts a day was positively associated with better mental functioning, including improved thinking, reasoning and memory. Lead researcher, UniSA’s Dr Ming Li, says the study is the first to report an association between cognition and nut intake in older Chinese adults, providing important insights into increasing mental health issues (including dementia) faced by an ageing population. “Population aging is one of the most substantial challenges of the twenty-first century. Not only are people living longer, but as they age, they require additional health support which is placing unprecedented pressure on aged-care and health services,” Dr Li says. “In China, this is a massive issue, as the population is ageing far more rapidly than almost any other country in the world. “Improved and preventative health care – including dietary modifications – can help address the challenges that an aging population presents. “By eating more than 10 grams (or two teaspoons) of nuts per day older people could improve their cognitive function by up to 60 per cent– compared to those not eating nuts – effectively warding off what would normally be experienced as a natural two-year cognition decline.” China has one of the fastest growing aging populations. In 2029, China’s population is projected to peak at 1.44 billion, with the ratio of young to old dramatically imbalanced by the rising ranks of the elderly. By 2050, 330 million Chinese will be over age 65, and 90.4 million will be over age 80, representing the world’s largest population of this most elderly age […]
Here is what causes brain fog and how to improve concentration
Brain fog Medical herbalist and columnist Jenny Logan writes about losing concentration and how to combat brain fog. Following Brain Health Week (March 11 to 17), I thought I would have a look at natural ways to boost brain function and mental performance – and therefore lift that all too common brain fog. So many people describe a sensation of ‘brain fog’, but what does it actually mean? Brain fog encompasses a poor memory, lack of mental clarity, issues with concentration – the mind wandering, and therefore also a lack of focus. Sound familiar? Unsurprising really – most of us will have days where we feel like this. Brain fog is not a medical complaint, but it can be a symptom of another issue. There are many different causes of brain fog including: STRESS: Long term stress leads to fatigue, which in turn can severely affect mental performance. When you feel exhausted, it is hard to think and focus as you would like to be able to. POOR SLEEP: Sleep is the time when your brain ‘resets’ filing away memories and refreshing for the next day. Poor sleep will lead to low concentration and brain fog. DIET: A diet low in omega 3 fatty acids or B vitamins – particularly B12, can affect brain function. The omega 3 fatty acid DHA has been identified as important to normal brain function, and could be low in any diet which excludes oily fish. Low levels of B12 have also been linked to brain fog, as B12 only really occurs in animal products, vegan diets particularly may be low in this vitamin. MEDICATIONS: Certain medications could lead to low levels of B12 – this is specially true of antacid medications, as lack of stomach acid can prevent the absorption of vitamin B12. […]
6 health benefits of boysenberries
The boysenberry is a superfood that has many health benefits. According to several studies, boysenberries are linked to improved brain and lung health . The fruit can also help boost your digestion and immunity. Listed below are the six health benefits of boysenberries. They boost brain health. Boysenberries can boost brain health because they contain anthocyanin , a flavonoid with antioxidant effects that can help boost memory. Anthocyanins can also prevent oxidative damage. Additionally, they can lower your risk of Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive decline. They boost your immunity and fight cancer. Boysenberries are anti-inflammatory and can help boost your immunity and prevent different types of cancer, such as malignant esophageal and colorectal tumors. The berries also have vitamin C that can help fight off infections and eliminate cancer-causing free radicals. They help regulate blood pressure and triglyceride levels. Boysenberries can improve heart health since they have the antioxidant vitamin C. The berries also have a good potassium-sodium ratio. A cup of boysenberries contains 183 milligrams (mg) of potassium , which can help balance out the negative effects of salt. This then helps reduce the risk of high blood pressure. According to a 2014 study published in the Journal of Nutritional Science and Vitaminology , the polyphenolic compounds of boysenberry juice can help reduce nitric oxide concentration through the “aortic endothelial nitric oxide synthase activation in hypertensive rats.” In short, boysenberry could be beneficial for heart health, and it may help lower blood pressure.

Artificial neural networks can predict how different areas in the brain respond to words
Can artificial intelligence (AI) help us understand how the brain understands language? Can neuroscience help us understand why AI and neural networks are effective at predicting human perception? Research from Alexander Huth and Shailee Jain from The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) suggests both are possible. In a paper presented at the 2018 Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS), the scholars described the results of experiments that used artificial neural networks to predict with greater accuracy than ever before how different areas in the brain respond to specific words. "As words come into our heads, we form ideas of what someone is saying to us, and we want to understand how that comes to us inside the brain," said Huth, assistant professor of Neuroscience and Computer Science at UT Austin. "It seems like there should be systems to it, but practically, that’s just not how language works. Like anything in biology, it’s very hard to reduce down to a simple set of equations." The work employed a type of recurrent neural network called long short-term memory (LSTM) that includes in its calculations the relationships of each word to what came before to better preserve context. "If a word has multiple meanings, you infer the meaning of that word for that particular sentence depending on what was said earlier," said Jain, a PhD student in Huth’s lab at UT Austin. "Our hypothesis is that this would lead to better predictions of brain activity because the brain cares about context." It sounds obvious, but for decades neuroscience experiments considered the response of the brain to individual words without a sense of their connection to chains of words or sentences. (Huth describes the importance of doing "real-world neuroscience" in a March 2019 paper in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience […]
Research Found Hangovers Impact One’s Working Memory
Purest Vantage Activated Charcoal, which is known for its purity and potency, could be an excellent source of this natural remedy. ( Newswire.net — March 21, 2019) Orlando, FL — Hangovers are often treated through the use of some medications. While there are treatments available, it is best to prevent it from happening in the first place. Research found hangovers impact one’s working memory. A hangover pertains the appearance of symptoms when the blood alcohol levels have already returned to zero. When this happens, it has been found to cause minor impairment in the manner that the brain works. For individuals who often suffer from hangovers, it would seem quite normal to be unable to think clearly the morning after excessive night of drinking. It has been revealed by new research that a hangover can trigger the brain to be less able to function, in addition to producing symptoms like dizziness, anxiety, and nausea. In the conference at Keele University, preliminary findings presented revealed that a hangover impacts one’s working memory. This may mean that the sufferer is less able to hold and manipulate information in the mind and to perform certain tasks like mental arithmetic. According to Dr. Lauren Owen, Marie Curie postdoctoral research fellow at Keele University’s school of psychology, a majority of people are actually aware of the negative effects of excessive drinking. This doctor who has been leading the research, said: “Most people are familiar with the undesirable hangover effects that may arise the day after excessive drinking”. According to the researchers, there was a drop in the working memory performance by 5 to 10 percent in individuals who were hung-over. An increase in errors by 30 percent was also observed. While it has not been scientifically determined what causes a hangover, it is to […]
Research From Huth Lab at UT Austin Predicts How Neurons Respond to Language in Context
March 21, 2019 — Can artificial intelligence (AI) help us understand how the brain understands language?

Eating a handful of this food every day improves brain function by 60%
Image: Getty.Source:BodyAndSoul According to a new study out of the University of South Australia, researchers have found that eating nuts may actually help to boost brain function in old age. This is an important breakthrough, as the number and proportion of Australia’s aging population continues to grow (by 2057, it is projected there will be 8.8 million older people in Australia – 22% of the population). For the study, published in The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Ageing , researchers looked at the effect of eating nuts in 4,822 Chinese adults over the age of 55. They found that eating more than 10 grams of nuts a day – the equivalent of two teaspoons – was positively associated with improved thinking, reasoning and memory. Researchers also found that the same amount of nuts could improve older people’s cognitive function by up to 60 per cent, compared with those who don’t eat nuts, “effectively warding off what would normally be experienced as a natural two-year cognition decline”. The study analysed nine waves of China Health Nutrition Survey data collected over 22 years, and found that 17 per cent of participants regularly ate nuts (mostly peanuts). Peanuts are widely believed to be an excellent source of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects which Dr Li believes may help to alleviate and reduce cognitive decline. “Nuts are known to be high in healthy fats, protein and fibre with nutritional properties that can lower cholesterol and improve cognitive health,” lead researcher Dr Ming Li says. “While there is no cure for age-related cognitive decline and neurodegenerative disease, variations in what people eat are delivering improvements for older people.” Di Li adds that the study is the first to report a link between cognition and nut intake in older Chinese adults.

Tai chi found to benefit the brains of older people
( Natural News ) Taking up mind-body exercises – for instance, ballroom dancing or tai chi – could help maintain the health of your brain and your body during the later years of your life. This regimen was supported by the results of a new study, in which exercises that involve both mental and physical activities raised the cognitive function of older adults. The meta-analysis showed that learning, memory, the ability to speak fluently, and other parts of normal brain function benefited from mind-body activities. It matched the findings of earlier research regarding the positive effects of these types of workouts on the brain. Researchers at Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine (GZHUCM) went over 32 randomized controlled trials involving mind-body exercises for older adults. Eighteen of those studies covered the cognitive activity of participants who were in good health. The remainder involved patients diagnosed with mild problems in their cognition. The outcomes of those studies were collated into one set before being divided into groups. Each group underwent analysis for the effectiveness of the exercise. The time it took for an activity to improve the cognition of participants was also measured. (Related: Boost your intelligence AND your physical activity with dancing .) Ballroom dancing and tai chi deliver the same benefits to your brain and body The GZHUCM researchers covered several types of dances, the Pilates training regimen , and tai chi. These activities are considered to put both the mind and the body to work at the same time. The study is considered to be one of the first to combine these mind-body therapies. 100% organic essential oil sets now available for your home and personal care, including Rosemary, Oregano, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Clary Sage and more, all 100% organic and laboratory tested for safety.

Nootropics Claim to Make Your Brain Work Better, But the Science Behind Them Is Murky
Can you boost mental performance with a pill ? A growing number of self-styled biohackers and Silicon Valley types swear that so-called nootropics explain their ability to fit 30 hours’ worth of stuff into a 24-hour day. But the science behind it is a mixed bag. This Supplement Can Help You Look Younger and Live Longer Nootropics are basically cognitive enhancers; users claim that they help memory, aid concentration, or improve brain function without the side effects of dangerous or addictive drugs. Sounds ideal, but when you’re talking about nootropics, things get complicated. First, the term is extremely broad. The attention-deficit drug Ritalin is a nootropic—just ask a college student cramming for finals. So is modafinil, prescribed to treat narcolepsy, which off-label users say enhances decision-making, alertness, and focus. Even caffeine is a nootropic, because it stimulates the brain. But it’s obvious that popping black-market Ritalin is a far cry from a daily Starbucks habit. Notorious Supplement Maker Is Busted In Multi-Million Dollar Fraud Scheme How to Lose Abdominal Fat Causes of Excessive Sweating There is also a plethora of amino acids, vitamins, and herbs that promise to harness the power of natural compounds in an easy-to-take capsule, powder, or drink. A recent global survey revealed that around 30 percent of respondents in the U.S. have tried one of these natural supplements to boost their brains. Which raises two questions: Do they work? And are they dangerous? Even boosters point out that different nootropics—be they herbal or pharmaceutical—carry their own risks. In the meantime, researchers are muddling through scores of specific compounds, trying to deter- mine efficacy and potential side effects. For instance, we know that levels of NAD+, a compound found in cells that protects against neurological damage and fights cellular aging, decreases with age. And nicotinamide riboside—a […]
Drink matcha tea to enjoy these 6 health-boosting benefits
( Natural News ) Both matcha and green tea come from the Camellia sinensis plant, but that’s were the similarities end. The former, in particular, is processed further into powder — the word “matcha” literally means “powdered tea.” It’s also known to boost brain and heart health and even protect cells from harmful reactions. Matcha can even support a stable metabolism, keep the mind sharp and lift the mood, and purge toxins from the body. Antioxidants in matcha protect the heart The catechins in green tea can support the health of the heart and blood vessels. Drinking matcha tea, therefore, can lead to even more benefits because it’s the most potent version of it. People drinking either matcha or green tea can also lower the chances of dying from heart disease and stroke. The superfood can also curb the levels of bad cholesterol in the body. Matcha tea contains EGCG and other strong antioxidants that ensure the arteries stay healthy. They also stop free radicals from triggering inflammation and oxidative reactions that harm cells and tissues. Thanks to these antioxidant effects, matcha can slow down the effects of aging and bolster the immune system. (Related: Antioxidant-rich matcha green tea found to help beat breast cancer .) Powdered tea keeps the brain sharp and keeps weight down The brain is another important organ that loves matcha tea. Regularly drinking it can help maintain cognitive function in the face of advancing age and the advent of neurodegenerative diseases. A 2014 study by the University of Shizuoka showed that drinking matcha tea every day for three months sharpened the brain of elderly participants . The treatment also slowed the rate of cognitive decline caused by aging. In a separate experiment, healthy people who took matcha were able to react faster, remember things […]
The Complete Nootropic Drugs Guide Condensed
A Brief History Are you a college student smack in the middle of your exam season and you just realized that the traditional miracle elixirs (energy drinks and coffee) are not really working that well anymore? Are you a competitive young professional looking to get an edge over your coworkers, when the big boss starts considering whose idea is brilliant enough to land them that prestigious promotion? Or maybe you would just like to learn about boosting your brain without us guessing at who you are? No problem, fam, we got you covered in every situation. Take a look at this condensed guide to the world of nootropic drugs that we put together for you and see how you can supercharge your brain power with their help. Digging Deeper What are nootropic drugs anyway? Nootropics themselves are a group of chemical substances which have the effect of improving brain functions like memory, mood, or focus. Nootropic drugs are, for lack of a better word, supplements that have these substances as their active ingredients. You can learn more about active ingredients and the structure of medicines at this link . Some of the other names for these supplements that you can come across are cognitive boosters, memory enhancers, neuro-enhancers, or brain boosters; however, a nootropic drug is not the same thing as a “smart drug”. How is a nootropic different from a “smart drug”?

The driver plans the destination and observes road conditions, while the truck provides motive power. Your subconscious mind is like the truck and it only goes in the direction in which is a steered. This can be the road or off a cliff. Likewise, the consciousness paints a picture of what the world is and what your goals are and the subconscious acts on them through emotion, physical response and energy, whether these are correct, rational images or false negative ones. The subconscious is also like an emotional reservoir which your body and mind draw responses from to external stimuli.
The Power Within lays out a method of programming your subconscious and tapping into the Holy Spirit, God voice or what the Greeks called the daimon (godman).
