How to keep your Brain wired as YOU Age. YOU and how to keep Brain/Mind wired to be the BEST. The following is from bigthink.com. Until the 1980s, the scientific consensus was that the nervous system was fixed and incapable of regeneration. The growth of neurons was considered most active during prenatal development. As we age, neurons atrophy, the thinking went.
How to keep your Brain wired as YOU Age.
No scientists believe new neurons are continually born throughout adulthood. Several breakthrough studies suggest that we may have more control over how our brains functions and develop throughout adulthood-our thoughts, behaviors, and emotions than previously assumed. Why does this matter? Because by learning how to control our mentality, we may be able to deliberately reshape our neural pathways and rew=wire our brains to make ourselves more successful a fulfilled. In other words, shape your brain and you can shape your life.
How to keep your Brain wired as YOU age.
In 2007, Harvard Medical School conducted a study with volunteers in a lab who were asked to learn and practice a five-finger piano exercise. A neuroscientist instructed half of the volunteers to play as fluidly as they could, trying to keep to the metronome’s 60 beats per minute, two hours a day for five days. The other half were instructed to merely think about practicing the piano, holding their hands still while playing the music in the heads. Practice rewires the brain. More startling, however, was that the same region of the brain had expanded in the volunteers who merely thought about playing in a disciplined way.
Rewire your Brain – for the better.
Here are 5 ways to rewire your brain for meaningful life changes: Identify the beliefs that support your intentions. Embrace your positive emotions. Visualize. Take actions that support your intention. Repeat, repeat, and keep repeating. Following if from chopra.com: How to release emotional toxicity. While the ancient Vedic sages were not able to study the brain at the cellular level, they knew that meditation is a powerful practice for regaining inner calm and aquarium. Ayurveda teaches that just as physical toxins, can build up in our cells.
Let everything go that YOU do not control.
Let it go – let God take it – send it all out to the universe. You cannot rewire YOUR brain for success if you are holding onto stress, and all the negatives.

How Depression affects YOUR Mind
In today’s world people that are politicians, celebrities, local leaders and people that have reached the pinnacle of success in their so-called professional or private lives are revered.
Why is that?
Do we look up to those that may talk the talk but do not walk the walk?
Why in the world, when someone says “I am a Christian” then holds a political office and takes away other’s liberties? That is not being a Christian – when God wants us to be free and have liberty. Not have rules and regulations against our liberties.
I worked for a contractor and he thought he was such a great Christian because he had been married to the same woman for over 30 years but yet he and a small group of other men kept everyone out of the contracting business with the way they ran Corpus Christi, Texas. He thinketh no one else should be successful or have opportunities or have the freedom to become successful like him. WHY?
So a man thinketh so he is.
I find that in today’s society it is so tightly controlled because of the kind of attitudes listed above. Why do they?
Why do we allow it?
Can people have a cottage industry from their homes and make $200,000 to support their families and live the successful life they want.
Why?
Rise up and speak your mind:
your community
in your local government
in your county government
your school district
your statehouse
Mind control is what they want to have over you. Do not let them have that control
Take care to be involved.
I know you are busy but your grandchildren depend on you to speak up about liberty
Russell Means was a great human being who was an American Indian who said at the end of his life: America is now a Reservation. I totally agreed with him because I knew at that point we had become what the American Indians had lived for years – living on the reservation and given only what they wanted to give us Americans, all of us.
Why?

“Internet gaming disorder” has been suggested as a new
psychiatric diagnosis to be included in the American Psychiatric

such as pathological gambling.

the longer the time spent in front of screens, including playing
video games, the lower their bone mineral density measured.
Excessive use of electronics take away many opportunities to
engage in weight-bearing activities, which is key for building strong
bones.

YOU and Foods for YOUR Thought
First of all, foods are not about only your waistline but it is about keeping your brain healthy as well. But, the foods you eat, especially foods high in antioxidants, can help ward off dementia and improve your brain health. Because, as Stoney Brook University registered dietitian Stephanie May tells students, choosing colorful fruits and vegetables and avoiding processed foods, will fuel you’re for the success of aging:
Blueberries
A superfood rich in antioxidants, blueberries reduce oxidative stress on the brain and have been shown to improve learning
capacity and motor skills. And the phytochemicals give fruits and vegetables their color and foods high in these chemicals have the most effective means of improving your health, and blueberries have one of the strongest concentrations available.
Citrus fruits
Lemons, oranges, and grapefruits can all help your brain stay healthy. Get some in your daily diet. Studies show that people who have citrus fruits every day are able to prevent cognitive decline by more than two years.
Nuts
Almonds are high in vitamin E, monounsaturated fats and other vitamins and minerals, making them a snacking no-brainer- particularly when t comes to preventing cognitive decline and preserving memory. Walnuts are powerful brain food, too, thanks to their high amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Including them in your diet can improve brain cell communication and growth, according to a 2014 study in the Journal of Nutrition.
Fish
Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which helps prevent cognitive decline, but it is far from the only fish high in these beneficial fats. And sardines, anchovies and lake trout are all great sources of omega-3 fatty acids, meaning you can hit your quota of eating fish twice per week without getting bored of eating the same thing. Anti-inflammatory, so they reduce inflammation in the body. Therefore, and all these are good for cardiovascular health and have been shown to preserve brain function
Avocados
High in the good fat-and helps our brains functions. However, the monounsaturated fat in avocados helps prevent high blood pressure which is a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease. As a result, they are also a good source of lutein, a carotenoid related to better cognition.
Coffee
Your morning cup might do more thin just help get your day started, hi in antioxidants, regular coffee drinkers have a decreased risk in dementia. For that reason, one cup will do you.
Greek yogurt
The vitamins and minerals in Greek yogurt can help relieve stress and give your body and brain energy. Probiotics can help prevent cognitive decline and age-related memory loss
Eggs
When you eat eggs, your brain uses these vitamins to support memory and increase communication among brain cells.
Whole grains
Oatmeal, barley, and quinoa – all great complex carbohydrates that help fuel the brain. And oats contain soluble fiber, which removes cholesterol from the body and prevents plaque from forming in the arteries. As a result, but clear arteries help ensure good flows well and may help reduce the risk of developing stroke and dementia.

Our mind is the very essence of our being what makes us feel
alive. What are we without our minds? Our perception,
experiences, feelings and the ability to think and act are all
processed by our mind. Doesn’t that require us to keep our mind
healthy at all costs?
Healthy and Happy Mind – for YOUR aging
A healthy mind one that is not scattered all over the place. It is not grieving the past nor is it anxious about what might befall in the future. Being focused and productive and at the peak of its creativity. It can be all this only when it is free of stress. Stress is responsible for making a mind dull and for triggering emotional and physical problems. Have you noticed how easily someone? can get you to shout and howl when you are already stressed? A healthy mind keeps you calm and composed even at troubled times. You are able to enjoy what you are doing now, be it reading this article, getting a report done on time, or walking your dog. It strengthens your relationships with people. In fact, your mind is so powerful that it can also affect your physical and emotional health. You are more like to fall ill when you are stressed because your immune system weakens. I believe that meditation and/or prayer help eliminates stress- because you are connecting with your higher power and understand that you are the only person you control. Pray/meditate for others but accept and realize that it only about YOU who you can control. Not your partner, nor your children or family or any of your friends. That eliminates 90% of stress when you realize it is only YOU
Be kind to yourself, encourage and empower YOURself
