Olives and olive oil long an essential part of the Mediterranean diet are high in monounsturated fat, which can reduce "bad" cholesterol in the blood. This is turn helps reduce the likelihood of stroke. A 2017 study by researchers at Temple University showed that eating extra virgin olive oil protects against the development of plaques and tangles characteristic of Alzheimer's. The same study also showed that olive oil support memory and learning ability . Many nutritionist recommend the exclusive use of olive oil for fat in the diet. Olive and olive oil also contain polyphenols, which r educe oxidative stress ( Free Radicals ) in the brain. The update is that eating olive oil every day can help improve brain function and support memory.

A recent study shows that continued exposure to loud noises permanently affects you ability to process speech. It's not just your hearing that can be affected by loud noises --It's your brains! The cumulative effect of this process may explain why older people have difficulty learning and memorizing -because their brains have greater difficulty filtering out useless stimuli, such as music or conversation. Their brains take in everything. People who are sensitive to noise may also find their mood negatively effected by loud sounds. They are also subject to sleep problems and lower cognitive performance. Whether you have a particular sensitivity to noise or not, a little quiet helps calm you down. And by a little we means a little. A recent study suggests that just two minutes of silence can conger big health benefits, mostly by helping the body relax. Another study showed that two-hour quiet periods each day helped (rat) brains grow more cells in the hippocampus, the memor...

To put yourself into a stat of mind that can lead to real rest, give yourself a change to let your mind wander. This is not a meditation at all in any formal sense To do it, sit or lie down comfortably when you can be alone and uninterrupted for an hour. Turn lights down or off and eliminate outside noises and distractions. Close your eyes and let yourself experience the silence around you. Don't try to focus on any one thought or ideas. This isn't mantra mediation. Breathe in a way that's comfortable. You can consciously slow your breathe down to aid in relaxation, but don't turn it into a struggle. As you do this, let your mind wander whenever it want to go, like a puppy let outside for an airing. Follow it if you wish see what interests it, but make no judgments. Don't push or move your mind in any particular direction. Let it go where it wants. That is the key here. So much meditation tries to harness the mind, tether it like a goat on a rope as bait for la...

All systems in the human body are vulnerable to environmental hazards such as toxic chemicals. But the nervous system, including your brain, is at special risk for some very important reasons; Nerve cell loss and other changes to the nervous system occur progressively during the later years of life. As a result, toxic damage many occur simultaneously with aging.  May neurotoxic chemicals are easily able to cross the blood-brain barrier, causing damage to sensitive regions of the brain.  Toxic chemicals often interfere with the nervous system's sensitive electrochemical balance, inhibiting the proper communication of information throughout the body.  To help your brain out, avoid artificial sweeteners, lead ( such as lead based paints), mercury, and pesticides.

When you've got a big project staring you in the face, it's tempting just to grind it out, getting up from your chair only to pour more coffee. (But who are we kidding? You've got the coffee pot sitting on your desk.) However, research shows this single-minded focus will backfire after a while. Just as kinds at school need a recess to recharge, adults at work need to take a break now and then. A recent study from the University of Illinos at Urbana-champaign showed that taking a short break can improve your ability to focus on a task. Researchers theorize that your brain gradually loses focus when stimulated by the same thing over and over (sort of like how you learn to ignore the ticking of a clock). By giving your brain something else to chew on for a few minutes, you can return to the original task with more focus. In the study, people who interrupted a long task with brief breaks showed no loss of performance over the course of fifty minutes, while multitasking, whe...

Evening primrose oil been shown to help lower blood cholesterol, which is good for your circulatory system and thus good for your brain. Some studies have also shown that it helps enhance memory and can calm hyperactive mental states, although research regarding it's usefulness in treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been mixed. Swedish studies, though preliminary, are relating evening primrose oil to an antioxidant that counteracts the formation of free radicals, which are destructive to brain health. If you have seizures or schizophrenia and take medications to treat it or take blood pressure medication, check with your healthcare provider before taking primrose oil supplements    These articles may be used only for Educational Purposes.  You can share it with your friends and families through social media .

One way to improve your memory is to speak out loud . One researcher found that when people were asked to memorize a list, those who read it out load were able to remember better than those who read it silently. Reading out load uses the auditory pathways of the brain . not just the visual , helping the brain to remember. A study conducted by researchers at the University of de Montreal found similar results, although in that study researchers theorize that increasing the number of "aspects" to the information ( the movement of your mount, using speech, etc.) Help you remember it. In other words, the multisensory approach helps your brain remember and recall. So if you're studying for a test or trying to remember the three you need from the grocery store say it out load. But don't try it at the library ! I think during of exam time, we probably need soundproof room 😆    These articles may be used only for Educational Purposes.  You can share it with your fr...
