This simple exercise calms you down and eliminates stress in 3 minutes or less
( Natural News ) There will be times, such as when you are stuck in heavy traffic, when stress will take a toll on you, making you feel agitated and anxious. During these times, you need an immediate and effective method to cool off. This simple three-minute breathing exercise can help you calm down and get rid of stress, preventing you from freaking out and making bad decisions. Sometimes referred to as box-breathing, this breathing technique is used by Navy Seals, first responders, and people who are constantly facing massive amounts of stress. It has a direct, apparent, and positive effect on the functioning of the nervous system. And the best thing about it? No one will even notice that you are doing it. In this breathing exercise, you simply inhale to the count of four using your diaphragm, then exhale to a slow count of four. It is important that you expand your lungs completely and fill them as much as you can. Avoid shrugging your shoulders to your ears to avoid doing a “stress breath,” which is a shallow breath normally done when you are agitated or depressed. In addition to the lungs, the stomach should also expand because the diaphragm is moving down into the belly to enable the lungs to expand more completely. As soon as you can do this, you will have to change the ratio, starting with a 4:8 inhale to exhale ratio. Then, you can move to 8:16, 10:20, 22:44, or 30:80, and so on. Breathing deeply and correctly for a few minutes can do wonders for how the body and brain respond to stress: Deep breathing causes the vagus nerve, which runs from the neck down to the diaphragm, to send a message to the brain to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous […]
5 ways to ‘liven up’ your water in the morning
( Natural News ) Most people could use a bit of a jump start in the morning, and the common fix for this is coffee. However, when you have been presumably fasting from bedtime to waking up, the hit of a highly acidic and caffeinated beverage to your digestive system and body first thing is akin to your loved one slapping you in the face to wake you up. In other words, it’s not really appreciated. The purpose of breakfast is to “break the fast,” which should be done relatively gently before you introduce any other caffeinated beverages or heavy foods to your body. Water is a great way to accomplish this, but since that can sometimes feel pretty vanilla compared to the caffeine injection, here are five ways to add some power (and flavor) to it in the morning. Citrus A common morning routine for health conscious folks is to take a glass of water and add a squeeze of lemon to it. This is a great idea (presuming the water is properly filtered or otherwise clean), as the gentle hydration of the water with a bit of sour to nudge the liver is a nice combo to wake up your systems and vital organs. But why stop there? There are plenty of citrus fruits that could do the same, which you could slice up and put in a pitcher the night before to drink all during the day, or to simply squeeze into your water as well. Think pink grapefruit, lime, and oranges too, and mix them up if you want to give your morning water ritual a tropical feel. Schizandra Schizandra will definitely put some zip in your step, with it’s curious and complex flavor profile as well as it’s support of the digestive, liver, and […]
Remember the promise of net neutrality? It was a power grab by tech giants who now decide what you get to see… or not
( Natural News ) Do you remember when tech giants like Facebook, Google, and Apple were all for “net neutrality?” They jumped up on stage and boasted that they were for an “open and free” internet . The tech elite cheered on the 2015 net neutrality rules, promising that internet users could not be blocked from sites they wanted to visit. Facebook COO Sherryl Sandberg sounded noble in a public statement: “An open internet is critical for new ideas and economic opportunity.” She said, “We’re ready to work with members of Congress and others to help make the internet free and open for everyone.” Google chimed in, too, rallying support for net neutrality to “protect the free flow of information and help make sure the Internet is available to everyone, everywhere.” Apple also supported “an open internet” to ensure “that hundreds of millions of consumers get the experience they want, over the broadband connections they choose.” The tech monopolies that demanded that ISPs treat all content equally are the same tech monopolies that now decide which content is suitable for consumption. Facebook, Twitter, Google, Apple, etc. are the biggest hypocrites in the free speech debate because they are now de-platforming the sites that they don’t want people to see. Tech elite’s hypocrisy on free speech Just months after tech giants cheered on a “free and open internet” they revealed to the world what their true intentions are. The tech elite aren’t interested in an open and free internet. They are only interested in wielding power over the internet. The tech elite push their political, ideological, and financial objectives by shadow banning, de-platforming, and de-monetizing the sites, pages, and search results that they don’t want people to see or have access to. What responsibility do social media companies have to […]
Dr. Gabriel Cousens warns the world about the toxic effects of 5G wireless (coming soon to your neighborhood)
( Natural News ) Dr. Gabriel Cousens calls 5G “a complete, unmitigated health disaster.” But, what exactly is 5G, what dangers does it present and what must each one of us be aware of? PC Mag explains that the “G” in 3G, 4G etc. refers to a different generation of wireless technology. Each generation is differentiated by a change in encoding methods which make it incompatible with the previous generation. 5G promises faster speed, more responsiveness, and simultaneous connectivity for more devices than previous generations. So 5G networks need to be much smarter than previous systems, as they’re juggling many more, smaller cells that can change size and shape. But even with existing macro cells, Qualcomm says 5G will be able to boost capacity by four times over current systems by leveraging wider bandwidths and advanced antenna technologies. The goal is to have far higher speeds available, and far higher capacity per sector, at far lower latency than 4G. The standards bodies involved are aiming at 20Gbps speeds and 1ms latency. 5G will make use of a type of encoding called OFDM, and is likely to rely on a network of cells as small as household routers rather than on huge towers radiating over larger distances. Dr. Cousens warns that since 5G uses a much shorter wavelength, transmitters will have to be erected every 500 feet. This means that such transmitters will appear in schools, at bus stops, and “all over the place.” Even if you don’t use a cellphone, therefore, 5G technology means you will still be in an EMF zone continually, unable to escape its effects.

Fight brain decay with a good night’s rest: Age-related memory loss may be caused by SLEEP issues, new study finds
A good night’s sleep can provide a person with a lot of benefits, aside from feeling refreshed and raring to go. A research from the University of California, Berkeley suggests that “quality” sleep may help improve memory development , especially for older adults. People have always underrated sleep, despite it playing an integral role in memory creation, as well as shifting from short-term to long-term memory. When people deprive themselves of or are unable to sleep, then memory consolidation is impeded. This is particularly true for older adults, according to the research team , who published their findings in the journal Neuron. They discovered that older brains tend to forget more because their brain struggles with, and sometimes loses, coordination with two brain waves that are important to memory formation. “It’s like a drummer that’s perhaps just one beat off the rhythm,” explained Matt Walker, a co-author of the study and a professor at UC Berkeley . “The aging brain just doesn’t seem to be able to synchronize its brainwaves effectively.” For the study, around 50 participants made up of both older and young adults were asked to learn at least 120 pairs of words before they slept. Electrodes were then placed on their heads prior to sleeping to monitor the electrical waves that the brain makes during deep sleep. In particular, they studied the interaction between slow waves and faster waves, called sleep spindles, to determine the participant’s recall was in the morning.

Have you heard of l-theanine? This compound is crucial for improving brain health and mental well-being
( Natural News ) L-theanine, as a supplement or tea, is essential for improving brain health and mental well-being . This amino acid has a relaxing, but not sedating, effect. L-theanine is mostly found in teas, such as white, green, oolong, and black teas, although it can also be found in small amounts in Bay bolete mushrooms. Out of more than 1,300 chemical compounds found in tea, l-theanine is the most outstanding for its benefits for cognitive and mental well-being. Take a look at the effects of l-theanine on brain and mental health: L-theanine increases essential brain chemicals – L-theanine increases the levels of neurotransmitters, which are biochemicals that brain cells use to communicate with each other. L-theanine particularly increases the levels of the neurotransmitters serotonin, dopamine, and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), therefore enhancing recall, learning, and positive mood. L-theanine also boosts two other essential brain chemicals known as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and nerve growth factor (NGF), which promote the growth of new brain cells and nerve cells. L-theanine relieves stress and anxiety – L-theanine decreases both psychological and physiological stress responses, enhancing mental resilience. It also lowers heart rate and helps regulate blood pressure under stress. Since it increases GABA, a neurotransmitter that plays an essential role in relaxation, it can improve the symptoms of anxiety. Research also suggested that l-theanine can be an alternative treatment for anxiety, as it has been found to works as well as commonly prescribed anti-anxiety drugs. L-theanine puts the brain in a calm state – L-theanine can put a state of calm by changing brain waves. It causes an increase in alpha activity, which is the brainwave state linked to relaxation and attention. Its relaxing effect is noticeable after 30 to 45 minutes. L-theanine boosts cognitive performance – Tea contains both l-theanine […]
Thinking for you: New EEG headset measures brainwaves to learn what you like… can even “adjust your mood”
( Natural News ) The use of electroencephalogram (EEG) technology has long been in use in most hospitals and clinics all over the world and, historically, its use has been mostly limited to that environment. Until now, that is. At the recently wrapped up Consumer Electronics Show expo in Las Vegas, Nevada, a Belgian technology center called Imec has showcased a novel use of the technology that could finally lead to it hitting the mainstream market of regular end-users. Researchers from Imec have developed a product that uses EEG technology in the form of a headset . What it does is quite simple and straightforward, but its applications could number in the dozens, at the very least. According to a report from C|Net , Imec’s so-called EEG headset can gauge your emotions and end up doing all manner of things for you. For example, the report says that it can “help with therapy” while also tackling other things, such as “changing your video game as you play, improving memory when you’re learning, matching music to your mood,” and even quickly adjusting your mood by changing the music that’s playing through it. Yes, it’s also a fully working headset that can be used to play the music that (it determines) you would like to listen to. According to Imec, the integration of the music playback allows the system to not only measure, but also influence the emotions of the person that is wearing the headset. This is done through the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in order to “instantly identify the wearer’s emotional state.” Get more news like this without being censored : Get the Natural News app for your mobile devices.

Antioxidant-rich walnuts cut your risk of Type 2 diabetes by HALF
( Natural News ) Move over almonds, it’s time for a new nut to reign supreme: Walnuts. While every type of nut offers a bevy of nutritional benefits, walnuts are gaining recognition for their potential to slash the risk of type 2 diabetes. The antioxidant-rich nuts are easily recognized by their unique shape, which resembles the human brain. But as it turns out, these nuts are good for more than just your mind — they’re good for your whole body. Walnuts, like other nuts, are a high-calorie food. While it is true that they should be consumed in moderation, that doesn’t mean you should avoid eating nuts entirely. Walnuts are an excellent source of good fats, vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients — and they’re a good source of protein and fiber, too. They’re also incredibly versatile: Whether you’re adding them to baked goods, breakfast, a salad or another dish, walnuts seem to make themselves at home on just about any plate. Walnuts and type 2 diabetes A recent study of 34,000 people found that doubling your consumption of walnuts can help cut the risk of type 2 diabetes almost in half. Researchers from the University of California at Los Angeles looked at the dietary intake of study participants who were between the ages of 18 and 85. Questions about their health status, including if they had been diagnosed with or were currently taking medication for diabetes were also completed. The team used data gathered by the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Ultimately, the team found that people who consumed walnuts regularly had a dramatically lower incidence of Type 2 diabetes compared to those who didn’t eat walnuts. This association was seen across the board, regardless of gender, age, education, race, body-mass index (BMI) or physical activity level. The […]
The Surprising Fitness Supplement That Can Help You “Bulk Up” Your Brain Power
The Surprising Fitness Supplement That Can Help You “Bulk Up” Your Brain Power The Popular Fitness Supplement Can Actually Make Your Brain Better. Nootropics are natural supplements that are used to enhance cognitive performance. Nootropics have become extremely popular in the realm of high achievers, elite performers, and productivity junkies who all want to think faster , learn quicker , and get an edge over the competition . I have personally experimented with a wide range of nootropic products for several years and often get asked what my favorite nootropics are and there is usually one specific nootropic I mention that seems to throw every inquirer for a loop. This nootropic is creatine , which is often thought exclusively as a fitness/muscle building supplement, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Creatine isn’t specifically a muscle building supplement at all. It’s an energy building supplement and it’s extremely effective. What Is Creatine & How Does It Work? Creatine is a naturally occuring substance in the human body that is formed from the combination of the amino acids arginine and glycine . This is important because the body recognizes creatine and can excrete any excess creatine you take with minimal ( though still uncomfortable ) side effects. Our bodies main energy currency is Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) which is an adenosine with three phosphate groups attached. When our cells need energy, our cells batteries (mitochondria) break off a phosphate molecule and when the bond is broken it releases energy that the cell can use to get things done. This converts ATP to ADP (adenosine Diphosphate), which cannot be used for energy production. As you can imagine, there is only so much ATP available within a given amount of time, which means that the more energy your body demands, the quicker […]
101 Time Management Hacks to Boost Productivity Every Day
For most of us, time management and staying productive is a daily struggle. Sometimes that’s not the end of the world. But, if you don’t address this sooner then later, the things you were supposed to do today get pushed to tomorrow, then the next day. Eventually, you could end-up several weeks behind. That’s not good for business or your stress-level. Thankfully, you can prevent that from happening by using these 101 time management and productivity hacks. Let’s start hacks to gain yourself more time. 1. Just breathe. Here’s an interesting fact from Tom Evans , host of the Zone Show podcast. A tortoise’s life expectancy is around 120 to 140 years, while an elephant lives for around 80 to 90 years. Even though our own life expectancy is increasing, it used to be just between 50 and 60 years. While there are a number of factors that influence the life expectancy of these animals, Evans notes that, "a tortoise breathes around four times every minute. An elephant breathes around eight times every minute and we breathe around 12 to 15 times every minute.” As such, Evans, suggests that if you want to change your relationship with time then you should start breathing more slowly. “To begin we need to use our diaphragm and to do belly breaths. This of course is how a baby breathes. We’ve just got out of the habit.” “Now you don’t have to do it all the time but just doing seven to nine deep and slow breaths at the start of the day is enough to slow things down. You can also do it before any creative task or if you have been stressed. It works especially well if you are running late for a meeting. By breathing more slowly, we ‘expand’ time.” […]
9 focus-forming habits to lengthen your attention span
From the infinite scroll of Facebook and Instagram to the temptation of a perfectly sunny day, there are a lot of distractions that prevent you from zeroing in on your work. But as career expert and cofounder of Early Stage Careers, Jill Tipograph, explains, internal interferences are tough to avoid, too. “With lengthy work hours, increased workloads, boss expectations, and shared office spaces, one needs to have a box of tips and tools to stay focused for longer periods of time,” she says. So how to you meet your deadlines? Try these focus-forming habits that help to lengthen your unpredictable attention span: 1. Create a strategic schedule—and stick to it One of the biggest reasons for mind-drifting is idle hands and thoughts. It’s easier to find your flow if you create structure. Tipograph recommends beginning each week with a deep dive into what needs to be accomplished, giving you the opportunity to carve out every last detail of the workweek. Interruptions from colleagues, managers, and clients are bound to happen, so predicting to the best of your ability will ensure productivity. When in doubt, Tipograph says to over-schedule instead of under-schedule: “From when you will do different tasks of a project, to making calls, answering emails, hold meetings, to when to take breaks and meals, you will accomplish more and feel productive,” she says. Also, try to schedule calls and meetings back-to-back to better strategize your time. She adds: “It is interruptive to have calls and meetings throughout a day. Block off certain days and times for meetings and calls, allowing the other parts of your day for work.” 2. Hide your phone What makes your phone so tempting? Career and branding expert Wendi Weiner says it’s part addiction and part happenstance. If it’s there, right by your laptop, […]
Can Nootropic Supplements Make You Smarter
Reviewing Provasil and Other Nootropic Supplements : A question highly debated is: can nootropic supplements make you smarter? Many people believe they contain effective compounds and elements that can improve brain function and memory retention. But, to fully understand if nootropics work, it is first important to understand how they work. Piracetam (Nootropyl) was first brought to fruition and coined by Corneliu E. Giurgea sometime during the 1950s or 60s, according to sources. It was a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant that promoted focus and clarity while clearing up ‘brain fog’ or mental fuzziness. “The term nootropic comes from a Greek word meaning ‘acting on the mind,’” writes the Cognitive Enhancement Research Institute (CERI) [1] . “Piracetam enhances cognition under conditions of hypoxia (too little oxygen),” they write, “and also enhances memory and some kinds of learning in normal humans. Outside of the US, piracetam is used to treat alcoholism, stroke, vertigo, senile dementia, sickle cell anemia…” In addition, some claim that nootropics can shield neurons that exist within your brain from damage caused by aging and the accumulation of environmental toxins. As we get older, the brain and other body functions experience a natural decline or setbacks. However, according to researchers with the American Psychological Association, there are ways to maintain mental clarity and focus as you age. These include behavioral improvements and strategies, as well as implementing healthy and beneficial foods, nutrients, and elements into your diet, which improve brain and memory function. “Challenging oneself by learning a new language or playing a new musical instrument,” says the American Psychological Association (APA), “may be a solution to preventing memory problems or the development of dementia or Alzheimer’s.” Today, top rated nootropics s upplements contain elements like piracetam and similar compounds, as well as other natural compounds known […]
The brain-boosting benefits of high-quality olive oil
( Natural News ) The Mediterranean diet is one of the best ways to eat for a healthier and longer life, thanks to its primary component, olive oil. People living in the Mediterranean region are some of the healthiest and long-lived people in the world. Olive oil provides many health benefits, but its benefits to brain health are often overlooked. Here are some of the ways olive oil helps keep the brain healthy and protects it from degeneration : Olive oil is rich in antioxidants – Olive oil is specifically rich in natural antioxidants known as polyphenols. In fact, it contains more than 30 phenolic compounds that are powerful antioxidants and free radical scavengers. Polyphenols can protect the body and brain from oxidation caused by free radicals and other toxins. The protection from oxidation is especially important because the brain uses a lot of oxygen, making it vulnerable to oxidation. Olive oil is packed with essential brain vitamins – Vitamins E and K are two vitamins that are important for brain health, and olive oil is rich in these. Vitamin E , particularly in the presence of vitamin C, helps maintain good memory, decelerates memory loss, and greatly lowers the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. This vitamin can also reduce the damage brought by a stroke by redirecting blood supply after the event. On the other hand, vitamin K helps maintain the brain’s sharpness as you age and enhances brain processing speed. It can also boost your memory, particularly remembering words, which is a common problem as people age. This vitamin also plays a role in preventing Alzheimer’s. Olive oil fights against depression – Research found that replacing unhealthy vegetable oils, such as canola, with olive oil can cut the risk of depression by nearly 50 percent. Based […]
New evidence suggests strength training can fight off depression
( Natural News ) You may want to add weights to your regular workout routine, as the benefits of strength training go beyond the physical. New research published in the JAMA Psychiatry journal suggested that regular strength training may help fight off depression . Researchers in the study looked at the results of 33 randomized, controlled trials on depression and strength training. In the paper, strength training was referred to as resistance exercise training. The study reviewed included more than 2,000 participants including males and females of different ages. After analyzing the studies, the researchers discovered that resistance training dramatically cuts the incidence of depression. The analysis revealed that participants who were assigned to a weight training group had a lower risk of depression regardless of whether they had met a clinical cutoff for depression at the start of the study. Even after considering the participants’ age, gender, or improvements in muscle mass, the outcomes remained significant. This suggests that even participants who had physical changes due to strength training still saw improvements in mood. Although the researchers did not look at how resistance training exactly wards off depression, study lead author Brett Gordon suggested that there are several psychological and physiological factors that could be responsible for the link. Gordon explained that psychological mechanisms could include the anticipation of enhanced mental health after exercise and social interaction and social support during exercise, although more research was needed to confirm the mechanism.

Researchers emphasize the importance of nutrition in preventing dementia
( Natural News ) Nutrition experts have long stressed the role of essential nutrients in preventing deadly disease, an article on Nutra Ingredients USA stated. Some of them are now arguing for the recognition of other nutrients like curcumin and lutein that amend the symptoms of non-lethal yet serious diseases, such as the various forms of dementia. These like-minded researchers came together for “Is Dementia the ‘New’ Heart Disease?” – a satellite symposium of the Nutrition 2018 health conference. Researchers like Dr. Elizabeth Johnson of Tufts University talked about the important role that nutrition plays in cognitive health. Johnson, a member of the university’s Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center , said that dementia and heart disease share many risk factors. She and her colleagues have therefore been calling attention to cognitive decline, be it related to age or not. Furthermore, they are also figuring out how nutrition can help prevent dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and the like. Johnson is an expert on lutein, a carotenoid that acts as a color pigment in plants. She studied the nutritional effects of lutein on the brain and the blood vessels of the heart. Based on her findings, lutein is one of the very first nutrients that gets hauled to the brain. Johnson considered this preferential treatment to be odd given there are hundreds of other carotenoids in nutrition. (Related: What’s up, doc? Carrots are one of the best foods to eat if you have heart problems .) Lutein linked to dementia in adults and brain development in children In a 2017 research paper she published in the journal Nutrients , Johnson reported that lutein in avocados could improve eye health and boost attention spans.

Is ‘Mommy Brain’ Real or a Just a Myth?
Here’s how it begins. You look for your phone while you are on your phone. You walk into a room on a mission but by the time you reach the room you’ve forgotten the mission. You cannot shop for anything without a list. Sound familiar? You are either a certain age, or a purported victim of so-called mommy brain. Is ‘Mommy Brain’ Real or Just a Myth? But is “mommy brain” real? Do we really become more scatterbrained when we become mothers? Or is it just cultural bias that would have us believe that pregnancy and childcare impact a woman’s cognitive chops, long after baby is born? While there is some evidence to suggest that pregnancy affects the brain’s neuroplasticity, the jury is still out on whether these changes constitute a detriment. How does pregnancy change the brain? Pregnancy may change the brain through a process called neuroplasticity, which involves biological adaptations to new experiences. A 2016 landmark study in Nature Neuroscience found that even two years postpartum, women’s gray matter shrinks in areas involved in processing and responding to social signals. This reduction in brain matter concerning social cues, however, correlated with an increase in attachment to the mother’s infant. What some call loss may actually be a ratcheting up of efficiency. A new mother’s brain becomes better wired to respond to their infant’s needs or to detect threatening people in their environments. The study’s lead author put it this way: “Gray matter volume loss can also represent a beneficial process of maturation or specialization.” Herein lies the essence of the mommy brain debate: Is the memory impairment associated with child-rearing significant, or simply making way for what’s essential? Yes, you may forget someone’s name, but is this necessarily indicative of a decline in learning, reasoning and comprehension? […]
Pumpkin seeds, mostly eaten during Halloween, contain an impressive array of vitamins and minerals that support heart health
( Natural News ) Pumpkin seeds are typically eaten only during Halloween, as they are usually scraped out of the pumpkin in making jack-o-lanterns. However, these nutty seeds and their byproduct pumpkin seed oil should be consumed more often because they contain a variety of vitamins and minerals that are good for the heart . Pumpkin seeds and pumpkin seed oil are a great source of manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, copper, protein, zinc, and iron. They are also rich in essential fatty acids and tryptophan, which make them an effective tool in improving heart health and preventing diseases, such as arthritis, osteoporosis, bladder dysfunction, and anxiety. (Related: Health benefits of eating pumpkin seeds .) To support heart health, pumpkin seeds work by increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL) or “good” cholesterol levels, while decreasing low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or “bad” cholesterol levels. As a result, the risk of cardiovascular disease risk is lowered and heart health is enhanced. This benefit of pumpkin seeds may be attributed to their high concentrations of phytosterol, a compound that prevents cholesterol absorption in the intestines. Pumpkin seed oil actually contains a higher level of phytosterols compared to the seed alone. In addition to their heart-healthy benefits, pumpkin seeds play a role in lowering blood pressure levels. The benefits of pumpkin seeds go beyond heart health. They are also good for the bones because of their high magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc content. In addition, pumpkin seed oil helps relieve inflammation linked to arthritis and related conditions. Researchers from the University of Tennessee discovered that magnesium is important to bone mineral density and preventing osteoporosis. A different study, which was published in Osteoporosis International reveals a significant association between adequate phosphorous and zinc intake and reduced bone fracture risk.

What Are Nootropics? The Internet Is Buzzing About These Controversial Smart Drugs
Humans are always trying to be bigger, better, and faster. In our latest attempt at self-improvement, people are turning to nootropics , or substances aimed at boosting mental performance. You’ve likely seen these supplements in the health aisle or in pop-up ads promising to improve memory or focus. And you can expect to see a lot more of these claims. By 2024, Americans are expected to drop $11.6 billion on brain health supplements, reported Markets Insider . That’s up from $2.3 billion in 2015. But do any of these brain enhancers actually work? Or could all that money be used more wisely? Here’s a breakdown on what nootropics are, whether they work, and what you can do to boost your brain health. Getty ImagesEugen Wais / EyeEm What are nootropics? Sometimes called smart drugs, brain boosters, or memory-enhancing drugs, the term "nootropics" was coined by scientist Dr. Corneliu E. Giurgea, who developed the compound piracetam as a brain enhancer, according to The Atlantic . The word is derived from the Greek noo , meaning mind, and trope, which means "change" in French. In essence, all nootropics aim to change your mind by enhancing functions like memory or attention. Nootropics ostensibly work by protecting neurons in your brain from becoming damaged by toxins and aging . The theory is that they stimulate neurons and increase blood and oxygen flow to your brain, which supposedly leads to improvements in your attention span and other areas of cognitive functioning. Board-certified neuropsychologist Brian Lebowitz, PhD and associate clinical professor of neurology at Stony Brook University, explains to MensHealth.com that the term "encompasses so many things," including prescription medications. Brain enhancers fall into two different categories: naturally occurring substances like Ginkgo biloba, creatine and phenibut; and manmade prescription drugs, like Adderall, and over-the-counter supplements […]
Butternut squash offers an excellent way to increase your vitamin C levels
( Natural News ) You’ve most likely heard it said a number of times: Squash is a good source of vitamin A. And it is, indeed. A cup of butternut squash is enough to supply almost 300 percent of your body’s needed vitamin A. But what you don’t hear much is how butternut squash can be a good source of vitamin C , yet another nutrient that’s good for your eyes, skin, and overall health. The butternut squash, Cucurbita moschata , is also known as winter or pumpkin squash. It has a characteristic peanut- or bottle-shaped fruit with rich orange flesh and, like other types of squash, edible seeds. It has one of the longest shelf lives in the squash family, which means you can keep it in your pantry without worrying about it going to waste for quite a while. As mentioned above, butternut squash contains plenty of vitamin A. It’s sweet, thanks to its rich complex carbohydrate content. In fact, it has a glycemic index rating of 66 compared to glucose reference of 100. But despite its high position in the glycemic index, butternut squash is known to be good for your blood sugar. Its complex carbs slow down the breakdown of carbohydrates into simple sugars, delaying the release of insulin. Butternut squash also contains minerals like potassium, iron, and magnesium. Its color points to its high concentrations of health-boosting plant pigments like alpha- and beta-carotene, as well as beta-cryptoxanthin, lutein, and zeaxanthin. It is also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids. The butternut squash as a source of vitamin C The butternut squash’s vitamin C content is remarkable. It comes second only to vitamin A in terms of concentration per serving. A cup of butternut squash can give you 49 percent of the vitamin C […]

Mind has both conscious and subconscious halves. These are likened to a driver and the truck he drives. 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).
