This is because there comes a time when neurons fail to regenerate and repair mechanisms become less effective. Is there a way to stop it?

 

You can not totally avoid, although it may slow the rate of brain shrinkage. The secret, according to experts, is physically active and between 70 and 80 years.

The good news is that this does not affect the acquired wisdom of older people, as though his brain is not 100% still have much to teach us, do not you think?

Did you know that benefits us to be curious?

They say curiosity killed the cat, luckily we are human and may be convenirnos the curious. And the expectation can maximize the ability of our brain to put in a state of almost total learning and retention.

BECAUSE SINGING

Looking for a fun way to get and stay healthy?

Try singing on a regular basis.

But not any old singing will do. The kind of singing that will provide you with significant health benefits has to come from deep inside your chest, even from your abdomen.

If you want to start singing for health and have some fun with it, I highly recommend that you learn how to sing in harmony with another person or group of people. Singing in harmony with others is easily one of my favorite things to do.

If you want to learn how to sing in harmony with others but don't know how, you can do what I did and learn with tapes or CDs. Back in 1997, I had to drive from northern California to Toronto. For five straight days, I did nothing but drive for eleven hours a day while listening to and singing along with some tapes by a lady named Cathy Fink and some of her friends.

I loved that her tapes were recorded in such a way that I could listen to and sing along with different parts of songs by turning the balance dial on my car stereo one way or the other. When I turned it all the way to the left, I could hear the lower pitched version of the song, and when I turned it all the way to the right, I could hear the higher pitched version of the song - what a brilliant and simple way to learn how to sing in harmony!

And another note: I'll use this post on singing for health to shamelessly plug one of my favorite songs, one that includes some harmony. :) Below is a video of Jason Mraz and his drummer/co-singer performing "I'm Yours" for a Korean audience. This performance was actually held before the song was released in an album.

             Did you know that being cynical can hurt your heart

According to a study in the United States, these psychosocial factors may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.Distrust and cynicism, the researchers say, are related to inflammation, and this in turn increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.

They also found that chronic stress and depression are associated with higher levels of inflammatory markers in the blood.

It is known that emotional factors impact on the heart because the discharge of substances such as adrenaline generate arrhythmia and hypertension, "says Dr. Laham. "And this causes the arteries to become more rigid and thick," says the expert. 

"It has been shown that emotions such as anger, depression and anxiety cause dysfunction in coronary activity, but cynicism is more subjective than those other emotions," he says. "I think cynicism is another feature which is developed from other factors that have an impact on heart disease," says Mirta Laham.

             ¿Did you know that eating too much red meat can develop Alzheimer? 

Eating lots of red meat may increase the risk of Alzheimer's, Professor George Bartzokis, UCLA in the United States, said the disease is caused by one of two proteins, called tau, the other beta-amyloid.These amyloid plaques, in turn destroy more and more myelin, disrupting the signal from the brain and leads to cell death and the classics of Alzheimer disease clinical signs, so it is necessary to reduce the consumption of red meat.

As we age, these proteins can disrupt the signal between neurons or simply kill them.

MRI technology used in this study, revealed that the increase in iron is produced along with the damage tejidos.Por Thus the results suggest that the accumulation of iron in fact may contribute to the cause of the disease Alzheimer
