Exercisingthe Brain4 Easy Steps to a Healthier Brain

Our brain is a complex organ that allows us tomove, feel, hear, taste, smell and think. It con-rols our body and thoughts by receiving, ana-yzing and storing information. And althoughhe brain is only 2% of the bodys weight, itses 20% of the oxygen and 20% of the bloodow. The brain is also a muscle that must bexercised to prevent atrophy.

he four pillars for enduring brain healthnclude: Nutrition, Mental Exercise, Physicalxercise and Stress Management.

1 | NUTRITIONOur brain functionsoptimally when we con-sume a balanced diet ofhealthy Omega-3 fats.The modern diet con-sists of synthetic trans

fats, created by overheating oils and hydrogen-ated (heating and passing hydrogen through it)to extend the shelf life. But Omega-3 fats are

required for new cell replication. If the properfats are not available, the body is forced to usedamaging trans fats that cause metabolic dam-age.

Healthy fats are found in oily fish sucmackerel, herring or in Omega-3 supplemolive oil; sunflower oil, nuts and seeds.

2 |MENTAL EXERCISE

Humans are creaturehabit. A repetitive routine life restrictbrains ability to and adapt. But t

on new challenges modifying our life can exeryour brain.

Mix Things Up By:

- Rearranging you kitchen drawers and

cabinets.

- Singing your to-do lists to make them rhy

- Take a new way to work.

- Close your eyes in the shower or while e

this strengthens other senses and allow

brain to process information in a new way

- Play games with other people that require

to strategize.

Staying Drug Free

spent ten years on a cocktail of sleeping pills,

enzodiazepines, antidepressants, painkillers and

muscle relaxers, after surviving 34 surgeries, 14 of

which were on my spine. And Ive spent most of

my life in excruciating pain with non-existent

leep. After swallowing over a thousand pills amonth, I knew there had to be a better way.

his realization took me to my depths into a cold-

urkey withdrawal. At the time it seemed the only

way I could regain my life, but I had absolutely no

dea how I would face the daily pain and constant

nsomnia. And for many months after I quit the

ills, I didnt sleep and my pain soared.

fter quitting, I made a decision to take pills out

f the equation. Never again would they possess

nd hold me hostage, so to return to them was

ot an option. It meant searching for answers to

eal my body, mind and soul. And it meant learn-ng patience as my body healed from the years of

buse.

lost everything long before I went cold turkey.

My finances were depleted, my health destroyed,

riendships had vanished and my identity was

ost. Addressing each area was exquisitely labori-

us, and often I was overwhelmed with the mag-

itude I faced. So I took a tiny step at a time and

earned what was within my control.

months to garner 3-4 hours of sleep, but I discov-

morsel of growth. I felt the full range of emotions

3 |PHYSICAL EXERCISE

The human brain is continually rewiring itselfand creating new cells.Even in old age it cangrow new neurons.Movement and exerciseincrease breathing andheart rate so moreblood flows to the brain

and improves oxygenation.

Walking is especially good because it increasesblood circulation, oxygen and the glucose lev-els to the brain. That is why many feel thatwalking clears the head.

4 |STRESS MANAGEMENTChronic stress increases the production of Cor-

tisol, the stress hor-mone of the body. Con-tinually elevated Corti-sol levels can adverselyaffect how the brainfunctions. The followingapproaches can natu-

rally lower Cortisol levels by prompting therelaxation response:

Visualization or Guided Imagery.Guided imagery generally uses tapes and aguided suggestion, such as imaginingyourself in a beautiful spot on the beach orin the mountains. Visualization is wherethe individual creates their own innerscene without the use of suggestions.

Meditation slows thought and canlower heart rate, lower pain and increaselongevity.

Deep Breathingis a simple way to bringbalance into your life. As your breathingdeepens, respiration slows.

Vegetables & Fruits

Conventional agriculture uses 400 chemicalesticides to control pests and chemical fertil-

zers that swell produce to hold more water.

he United Kingdom recently found high levelsf pesticide residues in baby food, dried fruit,pinach, bread, apples, celery, and chips. Someesticides have been linked to disruptions inhe human endocrine system (hormone regula-on), breast cancer, uterine cancer and asthma.he U.S. Dept. of Agriculture revealed thatince the 1940s, the mineral levels in conven-onal fruits, vegetables, meat and dairy haveeclined substantially by pre-ripened picking,

ong storage times and the over-processing ofrops.

nstead of harmful chemicals or bioengineer-

ng, organic farms use natural methods, such asiversifying and rotating crops, combined withnd natural composts and fertilizers to maxi-

mize soil fertility. Healthy, organic soil pro-uces nutrient-rich crops year after year whileeeping the natural eco-system in balance

Grass Fed Meat

Animals on organic farms are raised withoutantibiotics, hormones, or other drugs. Theygraze on organic grass and are allowed to roam

with unrestricted access to water, food sun-shine and fresh air. And while organic meatsmay cost slightly more, the health benefits faroutweigh the expense.

Organic beef is naturally lean, lower in total fat(up to 2/3 less fat) than conventional meat, andtherefore lower in calories. A 6-ounce steakfrom a grass-fed steer can have 100 fewer calo-ries than a grain-fed. There are two to fourtimes more Omega fatty acids in organic grass-fed meats. Studies show that organic milk has50% more vitamin E, 75% more beta-carotene,and 70% more omega-3 fatty acids than con-

ventional milk.

Conventional cattle are routinely treated withhormones to rapidly increase the developmentof lean muscle growth. These synthetic hor-mones contain variations of estrogen, proges-terone and testosterone that mimic the func-tion of natural hormones. The genetically en-gineered bovine growth hormone labeled rbGHis used to increase milk production. A smallamount of these hormones can create a mas-sive change in our body, so (cont. on page 5)

Newcastle University (UK) led a four-year pro-ect and their findings confirmed that organicoods contain more antioxidants and less un-

ealthy fats than conventional. Organic wheat,omatoes, potatoes, cabbage, onions and let-uce had 20-40% more nutrients than non-rganic foods.

he high pesticide content in conventionalroduce is because they are heavily doused

with chemicals to ensure the fruits and vegeta-les are blemish-free. If you are on a tightudget and concerned about the cost of goingrganic, try to go organic with the fruits andegetables that have the highest level of pesti-ide residue. These Apples, Bell Peppers, Cel-ry, Cherries, Grapes, Nectarines, Peaches,

ears, Potatoes, Red Raspberries, Spinach,trawberries (contain the highest pesticideontent of any fruit).

regnant women are susceptible because theesticides add stress to their already taxedrgans. Pesticides can be passed from mothero child in the womb and through breastfeed-ng. Children are extremely vulnerable to pesti-

ide exposure due to their less-developed im-mune system and developing brains.

he average family spends five times more onunk food, carryout, alcohol and tobacco thann fruits and vegetables. However, this trend iseginning to change. According to a recenteport from the Hartman Group in the U.S.,Consumers believe that a fresh, real and cleaniet is the first step to treating and preventingisease, supporting vitality and mental energy.

Grass Fed Meat(from pg. 4) what happens when we continuallyconsumeanimal products that contain them?

Large-scale cattle operations use six differentsteroid hormones that have been approved bythe FDA for use in food production (estradiol,progesterone, testosterone, zeranol, trenbo-lone acetate, melengestrol acetate); antibioticsand often the remains of dead animals in thefeed. Estradiol and progesterone are female sexhormones; testosterone is the male sex hor-mone; zeranol, trenbolone acetate and me-lengesterol acetate are synthetic hormonesthat promote growth. As a result, this has leftmany concerned about the high rate of earlypuberty for girls living in industrialized nations.

Experts have suggested that the overuse ofantibiotics in animals may be the cause of hu-man drug resistance and the subsequent de-velopment of more potent strains of bacteriathat withstand antibiotics. The overuse of an-tibiotics causes the spread of toxic visitors(such as Candida) in humans. So it stands toreason that the same problem is occurring inanimals that are treated with antibiotics regu-larly.

Chickens that are housed indoors and deprivedof grass produce eggs that are artificially low inOmega-3s. Whereas eggs from hens that arepastured can contain as much as ten timesmore Omega-3s than eggs from factory hens.Additionally, eggs from hens raised outdoorson pasture have 3-6 times more Vitamin D thaneggs from hens in confinement. Pastured hens

have direct sunlight, which their bodies convertto Vitamin D and pass on to the eggs.

A study from the Journal of Clinical Nutritionstated that the more full-fat dairy productspeople consume, the lower their risk of heartattack---provided the cows were grass-fed.Grass-fed milk has up to 5 times more conju-gated linoleic acid (CLA), which is a healthy fatfound in meat and milk of grazing animals. Inthis new study, people with the highest levelsof CLA in their tissues had a 50% lower risk ofheart attack than those with the lowest levels.

Environmental Advatages(cont. from page 4)United States alone is losing three billionof nutrient-rich topsoil each year. Abouyears ago farmers began using chemical fizers and pesticides to boost crop yields. time the insects, weeds and plant diseaseveloped a resistance to the chemicals,

stronger pesticides were developed with mple applications required during the grocycle. Even this dramatic increase of pestihas not diminished the amount of crop volost to pests.

The International Food Policy Research tute conducted a study that showed 40% oworlds agricultural soil is seriously depdue to erosion from planting the same continually. There was also significant nutdepletion due to the use of chemical fertilwhile containing a substantial build up o(salinization) from the excessive irrigation.

Organic farming methods include rotcrops, using compost or manure insteachemical fertilizers that rebuild healthy Wildlife is an essential part of a total farmpastures for grazing actually reduce toerosion by 93%.

Cows that are fed grains and diseased anand not a natural diet of grass develop daous strains of E.coli in their intestinal tractno wonder that mad cow is becoming prevalent in industrial agriculture. Additiomeat that hasnt been properly aged (
