6 Pillars of Brain Health

 


Here are the 6 Pillars of Brain Health according to The Cleveland Clinic:                           

1. Physical Exercise - Exercise improves blood flow and memory; it stimulates chemical changes in the brain that enhance learning, mood and thinking. 

2. Food and Nutrition - Food rich in antioxidants can help fend off the harmful effects of oxidation in your brain.

3. Medical Health - Hypertension, diabetes, obesity, depression, head trauma, higher cholesterol, and smoking increase the risk of dementia.

4. Sleep and Relaxation - Sleep energizes you, improves your mood and your immune system, and may reduce build-up in the brain of an abnormal protein called beta-amyloid plaque, which is associated with Alzheimer’s disease. 

5. Mental Fitness - Mental exercises may improve your brain's functioning and promote new brain cell growth, decreasing your likelihood of developing dementia. 

6. Social Interaction - A rich social network provides sources of support, reduces stress, combats depression and enhances intellectual stimulation.

The Secret of Basic H® in Your Garden

Summertime is when all of us want to enjoy the beauty and bounty of our gardens – but who wants to spend all their time taking care of them ? Basic-H® has been used for years by farmers and home gardeners alike to reduce the amount of watering time, improve the quality of the soil, and treat for pests. Even in those areas where Basic-H® Soil Conditioner is not available (Pennsylvania, for instance), you can still get great results by using Basic-H®, Basic-G ® and Liqui-Lea ®. The best information we’ve found on using Basic-H in the garden has come from MaryAnn and Mike Mizicko of Vienna, Ohio. Mike is a very successful truck farmer – and Basic-H is his secret! Be careful to note special circumstances, such as whether to spray on foliage, to apply only to the soil around plants, avoid spraying on blooming trees or plants, and other restrictions. Basic-H is a surfactant, not a fertilizer, so don’t use one concentration for all uses, or you will kill the plants you love. Soil P...

Testimony: ADD

I'm an adult with ADD but was never diagnosed. Scanning my old report cards, I see "doesn't concentrate, can't stay on task, has focusing problems". All I knew growing up was that I seemed to be on a different page than everyone else. I'm the mother of 2 girls. Niki is 21 and I'm soooo proud of her. She is in Military Intelligence with the Army and is fluent in Russian and Spanish. With the physical and mental challenges she faces, she grabs a handful of B Complex and knows she can get through anything. Then, there is Kristina, my 13 year old. Diagnosed at 4 with ADHD, I knew from birth she was different. The doctor put her on Ritalin but it didn't work. We tried something else but she was getting worse. I was in nursing school and studying everything on ADD but having no success. At 7, medication kept her from sleeping so we had to put her on more medicine to sleep. She would disappear in the middle of the night. Often we...

Back Pain, Discs, Bone Spurs, etc Testimonials

The info below contains a lot of testimonies related to back pain. Back pain affects so many of us, myself included, that any relief you can find is better than none. What worked for these people is definitely worth trying. Back Pain ---Testimonies from SHAKLEE users for what helped ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 6 years ago I ruptured a disk and had other bulging disk associated with that in my lower back. The doctor gave me Vicodin and Soma which I took for 4 days with little relief. I began to think what I would recommend for a customer. I stopped the drugs and began to take 3 Joint Health, 3 Chewable Calcium and 3 Chewable C 4 times a day. My pain diminished, I was able to get up off the floor where I had been sleeping and when I finally got to a neurologist I was almost pain free. She was talking about avoiding surgery as she looked at the scan, amen to that. She said I should cancel a trip to Israel 3 months out because of the condition of the back. I didn...
