Employ Your Brain
Monday, April 19th, 2010For many years scientists thought our brains lost as much as 30 percent of their neurons as we grew older. Hence the saying you can’t teach old dogs new tricks.
Now research shows that we keep most of our brain cells and that we can continue to grow neurons until we die.
Nutrients help, take those food supplements, but check out to see that you are actually getting what is on the label and that your body can absorb them. Absorption is very important and sometimes a supplement needs to have a booster for best results.
At the present time exercise is considered the most important to put your brain to work. The brain, like the heart, needs oxygen and blood flow, which in turn promotes the creation of new brain cells, even as we age. This means we have to challenge ourselves to new ventures, a new look at the world, or our ideas about the universe for example. Going in new directions actually helps our brain to grow.
So let’s start exercising.
