Do you want to have a better brain even as you age? Don't let your mind slip!
The human brain has great potential—even for those for who have dementia or memory problems. Your have fully utilized only a fraction of what the human mind is capable of. Therefore, it is never too late to harness the untapped potential of your mind. Don't let your mind slip!
Years ago, Richard Welch, scientist and researcher, developed a reading speed program, and in the process of research and development also discovered an amazing scientific program called Mental Photography. His amazing scientific proven phenomenon can help you harness 98 percent of your untapped brain.
How does Mental Photography work?
Richard Welch’s state-of-the-art system trains your subconscious mind so your memory becomes razor sharp. According to his groundbreaking research, if you have acquired the ability to absorb information speedily, you can then effectively store the information in your long-term memory. No only that, you can store every single word in your long-term memory for life, such that you will never forget it and you can always retrieve it at your will.
But how do you remember it in the first place?
A razor sharp memory requires concentration and focus. Richard Welch uses Albert Einstein’s “Distraction Index” which is a simple but extremely effective exercise that gives you 100 percent laser targeted focus and concentration. He shows step-by-step how you can spend 10 minutes a day just to maintain what you have stored in your long-term memory. You will be able to retrieve the information at any time, and automatically remember things that were once forgotten. Isn’t that remarkable?
Senior moments are common among seniors. But it does not have to be like that. A better brain with a powerful memory and targeted focus will give you an edge in every aspect of life, even as you continue to age. Mental Photography can effectively reduce the amount of sleep you need and make you wake up feeling great with more energy and enthusiasm than ever before. Help your brain remember the things you wish to remember. Do not let your mind slip. Brain health holds the key to longevity health.

Visualization and Mind Power
Your brain is powerful, even as you age. Throughout your life, you have, in effect, used only a small percentage of your brain cells. Do not underestimate your mind power. Fully harness and utilize your brain power at any age.
You may have heard about the ability to “see one’s future” or maybe to “see yourself achieving a goal or success.” For some this may seem purely science fiction. However, it is important to not fall victim to the common tendency of many to underestimate the power of the human brain. You might be surprised to learn that many of the coincidences or “déjà vu” phenomena that occur in your life are brain based and directed.
Visualization is the term often used to describe our attempt to use mental imagery to guide behavior and outcome. This is used by many of our best known athletes and others who are the best at what they do. Very often it is the mental side of action that differentiates good from great. . . . Read more.

A Healthy Brain Needs Napping
A healthy brain needs napping. Sleep has been known to be an important component to brain function and memory for some time. A recent study on sleep and learning conducted by Dr. Walker, University of California Berkeley, provides further support.
The study involved 39 healthy young persons who were placed into a nap or no nap group. At noon, all subjects completed a memory task intended to engage the hippocampus, a region deep in the medial temporal lobe responsible for learning new fact-based information. Both groups performed equally on this test.
At 2 p.m, the nap group took a 90-minute nap, while the no-nap group did not. At 6 p.m. of that day, subjects completed a new memory task. Those who remained awake throughout the day performed worse on the task, while those who napped did markedly better and actually improved in their capacity to learn.
Some scientists suggest the human animal is designed to sleep in bouts, rather than one long period of time - the finding supports taking naps. About 30 percent of Americans nap during the mid-day. The study’s results support the idea that sleep clears the brain’s short-term memory storage and creates the ability for new information to be learned.. . . . Indeed, the brain needs a meaningful break in order to function optimally.

Alzheimer's and Intimacy
In a recent article in The Wall Street Journal,Tuesday, November 3, 2009, about caregivers of spouses with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) who find new companions for love. The article questioned whether such behavior could be considered adultery?
There are nearly 5 million Americans with AD and at least that many at risk. The number of those with AD will likely continue to grow to as many as 15 million by 2050. A recent survey reported there will be nearly 35 million with AD across the planet. Many of those suffering AD are married and the healthy spouse can serve the role of caregiver for many years, including a significant amount of time when their spouse with AD no longer recognizes them. The role of caregiver is difficult and ripe with emotional, physical, and financial stress. The article in The Wall Street Journal raises another stressor, which is the idea that the healthy spouse may be without intimacy, love, and companionship for many years.
It is nearly impossible to understand how emotionally difficult it must be to care for a spouse with AD. Some describe AD as two deaths, one when you are told about the diagnosis, and the second with the actual physical death of your loved one. Along the course of AD, a spouse will no longer recognize his or her partner. A healthy spouse, who provides care to their partner with AD, is vulnerable to loneliness, depression, and ongoing loss. How does one cope with loss of the emotional connection or loss of love in the traditional sense when your spouse is physically still present?
The Wall Street Journal article raises many thoughts and ideas that do not have easy answers. It points out that we need to support even more our caregivers who dedicate so much of their time to their spouses with AD.

Eat One Meal A Day with Others for Better Brain Health
Eating one meal a day with others may boost your brain health, and hence avoid or delay the occurence of dementia. The human brain requires a comprehensive and integrated approach to health and a brain health lifestyle.
Eating one meal a day with family members or even friends and those you may not know very well (be safe first) can be a major brain health activity. Sitting down to a meal helps you to slow down, you can listen to some music in the background, and tell stories over your meal. You can also use utensils that typically means you will eat healthier and eat less than when you eat with your fingers. These are several brain health boosts with one activity.
It is good to learn from Rasmussen Surveys that 65% of those surveyed by telephone eat with their family twice weekly. 38% eat a meal three times a week with their family and 27% report eating between two and three times weekly with their family. Only 22% do not eat with their family during the week.
Therefore, it is recommended that you carve out the special time necessary to sit down and eat a meal with your loved ones on a daily basis. Your brain and body will thank you. . . .

Pets and Health for Those with Mild Dementia
Research has attested to the value of having and caring for pets on general health. Research supports a positive relationship between having a pet and general health with more specific value in reducing blood pressure. Pets can create a vital role for someone as the dog, cat or other pet needs to be fed, walked, cleaned etc. Sometimes, caring for a pet can be the major role in a person’s life, particularly if someone is living alone, or having mild dementia.
A pet can also provide unconditional love, friendship, companionship, and a sense of family. Many people consider their pets significant members of the family and it is quite normal to experience grief when a pet dies.
For those who do not and cannot own a pet there are opportunities in the community to spend time with animals . . . . .

The Obvious Signs of Dementia
As we continue to age, we all become forgetful. Memory lapses are not uncommon, but it doesn't mean we all will have dementia.
The symptoms of dementia may be gradual, and sometimes even insidious. When signs of dementia begin to surface, some patients may try to "cover up" or even blatantly deny that there are problems; others may blame others. No matter what, ultimately, the early signs of dementia will become more serious and obvious, and they include the following:
(1) The person is uncharacteristically negative and suspicious. Sometimes it is difficult to tell if it is dementia or not, especially if that person is also suffering from anxiety or depression.
(2) The person is negligent of his or her personal care and grooming, such as not bathing or shampooing. Again, an individual with severe depression may also neglect his or her personal hygiene.
(3) The person has difficulty in conversation, such as repeating the same thing, or talking vaguely without any specifics.
(4) The person has lost his or her motor skills, such as displaying uncharacteristically illegible handwriting, or inability to type or use the computer.
(5) The person is unable to make a phone call, even if he or she remembers the phone number.
(6) The person eats improperly, such as eating only sweets when there is a proper meal.
(7) The person keeps the house badly cluttered and disorganized.
(8) The person shows poor judgment in spending. Again, an individual suffering from anxiety or other mental disorders, such as bipolar depression, may also demonstrate the same behavioral problems in over spending.
(9) Other more dangerous signs of dementia may include: consistently forgetting to turn off the stove; wandering around outside at night; acting inappropriately in response to "paranoid" suspicions, such as calling the police based on paranoia.
If a member of your family demonstrates some of these obvious signs of dementia, be more observant of the behavioral patterns or conditions to see if medical or professional help is needed.
