Brainfit for Life

Professors Evans and Burghardt have created a book that is accessible to the lay reader, but research based. They have gone through the research and teased out the tidbits about brain fitness that we can do ourselves.

Imagine not having to depend on a physician to prescribe medication for your brain health?

Imagine taking charge of all the tools you can take charge of, like workouts, nutrition, sleep, novel learning experiences, and stress management, and being assured that your brain was producing neurons on a daily basis, and putting them to work in the memory center of your brain? (That is called neurogenesis, by the way, and it is a capacity of your brain that was unknown until the 1990's).

And that novel learning experience? It increases brain plasticity, which is your brain's ability to re-wire itself, which it actually enjoys, given a new challenge, like a hobby, or a new language, or a new musical instrument. When the brain rewires, it creates new dendrites and synapsis, all the way through your life.

Not sure about you, but that sounds like a good thing to me, especially at 61 years of age, with small kids.

They have already developed skillful chore avoidance strategies, which evolve very rapidly. What worked yesterday in the parenting manual needs to be re-worked today, so I need to re-read Brainfit for Life.

My E-Book-Four Brain Fitness Programs Compared and Contrasted.

I am 60 and I am a late life parent, and I love being a Dad, and I want to be vital and involved in my children's and grandchildren's lives and I am going to look into every tool I can find which has the possibility of making my silver years vital and alive.

At age 32 I was blessed to get a second chance from an illness that has taken my parents and brother, so I believe in miracles, and I believe in doing the legwork to sustain miracles.

That second chance experience has made me more open to trying what a scientist would call alternative treatments.

I have tried out and learned about tools like Chi Gong, EEG Biofeedback, HeartMath, or heart rate variability biofeedback. Open Focus, Holotropic Breathwork, psychodrama, The New Warrior Adventure Weekend; all of which have been part of my professional practice for eleven years.

I have been an explorer in the use of brain fitness tools ever since I first read about them in the mid-1990's in Michael Hutchison's "Megabrain", and driven by the demand by Baby Boomers, there are some very useful brain fitness programs available for any of us to use. Those tools are good now and will get better.

There are also an abundant number of brain games out there that are entertaining, but do nothing for neurogenesis or neuroplasticity. (Brain games do not equal brain fitness programs).

If you are truely interested in brain fitness, then let me share my experience of the top programs out there available for your use.

Is it possible to use brain fitness tool to creatively explore and courageously enhance your human experience, to grow your mission at any time in your life? I believe so.

Brain Fitness Programs for Personal Growth

Not many years ago, neuroscientists told us that our brain was finished growing and worse, began deteriorating at about age five and that this process was irreversible.

Recent discoveries about neuroplasticity and neurogenisis have overturned decades of neuroscientific dogma.

Our brains do grow new brain cells throughout our lives, and what is more, we can prepare the brain to accept new brain cells, like we prepare a garden to receive seeds.

Brain Fitness Programs for Study

Practice some brain fitness. One of the four programs I have tested has no upper limit for improvement, so the more you train, the better you get, and the comparison that claim is based on is before and after on an IQ test.

Wouldn't it be nice to have your child train on this before ACT or SAT tests?

Standardized tests have their critics, but for many they are a fact of life. Test performance can count for so much when applying to college programs that we spend countless hours and thousands of dollars prepping for SATs, ACTs, LSATs, GREs, and GMATs.

While we can achieve solid improvements through traditional preparation methods these approaches don't make us smarter; once we've taken the test, all that prepping becomes a sunk investment.

Are you a Senior Citizen? Another of the programs I evaluated has been tested for senior citizens and has excellent science and reviews. Those using the program report long term improvements in memory and focus and activity levels.

Brain Fitness Programs For Health and Fitness

Advancing years also bring the threat of dementia and Alzheimer's.

How can brain fitness programs make a difference in dementia and Alzheimers?

By activating all the neurons in a circuit to fire together.

Cells that fire together wire together, new dendrites grow on new neurons and connect with other new neurons, and the brain continues to build its connectivity.

Joe Verghese, M.D. (New England Journal of Medicine, volume=348, issue=25, 2003) found that people can reduce their risk of Alzheimer's by 64% by doing just one more brain exercise (even a puzzle or board game) each week.

He also showed that people who exercised their minds four days a week had a 47% lower risk of dementia than those who performed brain exercises just once a week.

Brain Fitness for Business

Wouldn't you want to train your asset?

Not all of the programs I tested are appropriate to a business situation unless you want to block out an hour of time for all your staff members.

But two of the programs could be used as brain boosters between meetings, clients, phone calls, ect.

Wouldn't keeping your staff on their best brain be a cost effective investment?

All those things are doable now. And wouldn't it be wise to take advantage of user experience before you make a major purchase?

I have been using four of the commercially available brain fitness programs since early this year and my experience can guide your decisions about which brain fitness program to use.
