Grow Your Brain by Stephen Bucaro

learning a new language. You can also challenge your brain

by working puzzles, solving brainteasers, playing strategy

games, or by teaching others.

It is now known that stress takes a heavy toll on your

brain. When you are under stress your body experiences the

"fight or flight" syndrome. When ancient cave man was

being chased by a Saber Toothed Tiger, the last thing his

body needed was to allocate resources to grow more brain

cells. In response to a threat, real or imagined, your

body produces hormones that stop the growth of brain cells.

To avoid stress, make an honest assessment of the things

that are causing your stress. Are they really life

threatening, or are they merely an annoyance? Most of the

time an impending event that we are stressing over never

comes to pass.

Eliminate the things in your life that are causing stress.

If you can't eliminate something that is causing stress;

find a more constructive way to deal with it. They say

"stress kills". I believe that. Even if stress doesn't

kill you, we now know that it WILL decrease your mental

sharpness.

It is now known that the old idea "fish is food for the

brain" is actually true. Scientists have discovered that

omega-3 fatty acids found in fish are an important

component of neurotransmitters. Other sources of omega-3

fatty acids include avocados, olive oil, and walnuts.

Omega-3 fatty acids work in conjunction with vitamin E.

The best sources of vitamin E include seeds, nuts, whole

grains, and brightly colored vegetables.

Avoid fatty foods that increase your cholesterol level.

Cholesterol stiffens the walls of arteries, restricting

the flow of blood. And you now know that good blood flow

is required to grow your brain.

Age is NOT a factor in decreasing mental sharpness. Loss

of mental alertness is caused by lack of regular sound

sleep, lack of exercise, stress, and mental laziness. Take

the steps described in this article and you will do what

until now scientists thought was impossible. You will grow

your brain.
