One by one

One by one, kid by kid, religion is creeping up on us. The effects of religions like Christianity, Catholicism and the other 36,000+ Christian denominations are bringing us down as a society. Whether it’s indoctrination , crusades, inquisition or just the outdated moral values religions have introduce to the world is devastating.

Religions such as the catholic religions, puts a halt to the studies of science and health care. They hold back stem cell research which could be vital in the fight against diseases like cancer, parkinsons, alzheimers, spinal cord injuries and muscle damage. Catholicism also prevents abortion and the use of contraceptives which has resulted in millions becoming infected with HIV/AIDS as well as millions of unwanted pregnancies which creates pressure on impoverished societies.

Indoctrination is a tactic used to brainwash children at younger ages. Rational Thinking is skewed and damaged by superstitious notions which cannot be backed up by evidence. For centuries, even before people learned to read and write, religion has continuously rejected the findings of objective Science. In 1632, when Galileo published his book, Dialogues on the Two Chief World Systems, he was summoned by Pope Urban VIII a year later to appear before the Inquisition in Rome. Just for asserting the his ideas that the Earth was not the center of the universe or that the earth is not flat, Galileo was then sentenced to life imprisonment in a Roman dungeon for most of his life. This stops education and could put us back in the Dark Ages.

There is a connection that parents who are theists have children with lower IQ’s. These children will be less intrested in science. Religious people, who will live in that adulthood, will become less intelligent compared the to people around them. Research has already proven this. Paul Bell in Mensa Magazine, 2002, reviewed all studies taken of religion and IQ. He concluded:”Of 43 studies carried out since 1927 on the relationship between religious belief and one’s intelligence and/or educational level, all but four found an inverse connection. That is, the higher one’s intelligence or education level, the less one is likely to be religious or hold “beliefs” of any kind.”

Religions since the beginning of time has been to control the masses, but it’s the 21st Century now, and we shouldn’t let religion blind us anymore. The time to put a end to religion has come. These are only the few examples religion have provided for society that has been left in ruins. Being an indoctrinated theist since I was born has put a toll on my life, but now that I further the study on my religion and world religion, I can proudly call myself an atheist and fight what I believe in, and I hope you can too.

Alzheimers Prevention and Brain Health

First I want to assume that you are reading this because you are starting to worry just a little bit about your memory and the possibility of Alzheimers later in life.  You’re not the only one-there are 72 million baby boomers taking turns on line every day looking for information, help and hope for the Alzheimers prevention .  You may have noticed long time friends or people at work maybe your own spouse decline right before your eyes.  It’s more than a little scary knowing you could be there too; so we look for answers.

Brain fog is not necessarily an indication of Alzheimers, Age Associated Memory Impairment (AAMI) or any form of dementia.  But it is a good indication that your brain health needs attention.  It could be that any number of things or a combination of things could make all the difference; but it is up to you to take action.  Clearing up the brain fog could very well be the first step in Alzheimers prevention.

A recent study of baby boomers concluded that 62% share Alzheimers as their biggest fear of growing old.  Not heart disease, not heart attack, not stroke, not cancer but Alzheimers.  I found myself in that group.  I also discovered that among physicians, men and women who see more pain, suffering and disease than any other segment of the population, they would prefer anything to Alzheimers.

  

Alzheimers is characterized by elevated levels of beta-amyloid peptides that cause plaque to build up in the brain.  The plaque causes the neurons to shrivel and tangle (fibrillary tangle) which prevents the synapses from firing neurotransmitters to relay information through out the brain.

The increase in this disease among people under 65 is increasing at an alarming rate. Alzheimers prevention is the only course of action we can take at this point as there is no known cure for the disease.  

 

So do you bury your head in the sand and hope you get to dodge this bullet or do you take the necessary steps to be healthy and mentally alert your entire life?  The good news is that what you do to enhance and improve the most important organ in your body will enhance and improve your entire body. BUT if you think that this disease is just inevitable to some people keep your affairs in order it may become a self fulfilling prophecy.

  

If on the other hand you want to reduce your risk and increase energy, focus, concentration, memory and overall brain fitness here are several steps to take to make that happen.

First change your diet:  there are some foods that do so much to create and maintain brain health they have to be included in a brain healthy diet.  Eat whole grain foods that contain the bran, germ and endosperm.  Eat apples, yes; an apple a day does keep the doctor away.  Include more berries in your diet, all sorts, but the darker the better.

It also turns out that fish really is brain food you should eat fish 3 to 5 times per week; salmon, tuna, herring etc.  And remember the tough vegetables- cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. Yes I know- you hate that kind of stuff- but you are an adult now and Alzheimers prevention is your objective.

On the other hand if you have been avoiding nuts because of the fat content you can quite worrying nuts are good for you, the right fat, good slow metabolism, they help you feel full.  Along with nuts include all kinds of dairy products but make them low fat when possible.

Eat more greens, the darker the better, spinach, turnip, kale etc.  Yes I know…. But remember who you are and what your objective is.  Add soy to your diet, it’s especially good for Alzheimers prevention.

Sweet potatoes, one of natures most perfect and complete foods over all, is particularly good for brain health.  So don’t save then for the Holidays; eat them often.

Beans and legumes, there are many varieties and they are all very good for you and good for your brain.  Tomatoes are another incredibly healthy fruit for over all health, especially the brain.

If for any reason a diet featuring these foods is difficult, consider a supplement.  Brite Age Health has a formula, scientifically proven, in a large double blind placebo controlled study, to enhance and improve brain health and brain function.  To reverse what we call life style assaults on the brain take Brite Smart ™ and to ensure you have enough brain specific nutrition take Brite Shield ™.  Available at www.britetest.com   Remember Alzheimers prevention is the only cure.

Howard Jamison asked:


The Baby Boom Generation is aging and the number of people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia disorders is expected to rise to between 11 and 16 million people by the year 2050. The number has doubled since 1980 and has already affected over 5 million Americans.

This anticipated increase of the disease may exceed the medical community’s ability to cover the additional costs of care needed for those affected. This shows the need for innovative research and new treatments.

Did you know that:

Smoking after age 65 increases your chances of developing Alzheimer’s by 79%?

Obesity in midlife makes you 3 1/2 times more likely to have Alzheimer’s? · Diabetes makes you twice as likely to develop Alzheimer’s? Genetics account for only about 25% of Alzheimer’s cases? Chronic stress may quadruple your risk?



The Alzheimer’s Association has identified 10 early warning signs that should prompt families to seek diagnosis and treatment. Early detection helps increase the chances for getting medical care that can relieve symptoms and provide for a longer period of independence.

7 Warning Signs of Alzheimer’s

1. Memory loss - disrupts daily life and is a sign that usually includes forgetting information, dates and events.

2. Challenges in planning or solving problems - when a person can no longer keep track of monthly bills or follow a simple plan.3. Confusion with time or place - when one begins to lose track of dates, seasons and the passage of time.

4. Misplacing items and inability to retrace steps - when the person begins to place objects in unusual places or accuses others of stealing.

5. Diminished judgment - suddenly having poor judgment with money.

6. Withdrawal from work or social activities - suddenly giving up hobbies, social activities, work projects and sports.

7. Changes in mood and personality - sudden displays of confusion, suspicion, depression, fear and anxiety.

In the meantime, there are preventative measures that can be taken to delay or prevent the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease.

7 Prevention Steps For Alzheimer’s Disease

1. Follow a Mediterranean diet - avoid trans fats and red meat as much as possible. Eat foods rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, whole grains, and nuts.

2. Daily fruit and veggies - eat daily servings of berries and green leafy vegetables.

3. Supplement your diet - taking vitamins, herbs, and amino acids may provide additional brain protection. Folic acid, vitamin B12, vitamin D, and fish oils are believed to preserve and improve memory.

4. Plenty of exercise - at least 30 minutes five times per week. Simply taking a brisk walk can increase the cardiovascular exercise needed.

5. Keep the mind active - read, solve puzzles, & brain teasers. Look for activities that exercise the brain.

6. Regular rest and sleep - Going to bed and getting up at the same time. Dim the lights and have comfortable temperature in the room.

7. Avoid stress and learn to relax - turn off your stress with quiet, deep, abdominal breathing. Regular meditation, prayer or reflection may help prevent the damaging effects of stress.



Don’t delay, start today, as it is never too late to begin a new habit for your health!

Kyle J. Norton asked:


As we mentioned in previous articles Alzheimer’s disease is a brain disorder named after German physician Alois Alzheimer. Alzheimer’s destroys brain cells, causing problems with memory, thinking and behavior severe enough to affect language communication, memory, lifelong hobbies or social life. Alzheimer’s gets worse over time, and it is fatal. In this article, we will discuss how to prevent and treat Alzheimer’s disease with common sense approaches.

1. Reduce intake of saturated fat and trans fat

Foods that contain high levels of saturated fat and trans fat such as french fries and meat will cause the cholesterol and triglyceride to build up in the blood stream and clot up arteries resulting in difficulty in transporting oxygen to brain cells. As brain cells die off in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus, we have Alzheimer’s disease.

2. Eat your vegetables and fruits

Vegetables and fruits contain high amounts of nutrition that is vital for our body to function everyday. Nutrition deficiency such as DHEA, B vitamin complex cause hormone imbalance resulting in less testosterone for men and progesterone in woman forming the plague and tangle in the brain.

3. Eat your Fish

Cold water fish is the best choice. It contains high amounts of fatty acids Omega 3 that helps to reduce the cholesterol and triglyceride in the blood stream and strengthening our immune system by nourishing our brain as well as fighting off forming of free radical in our body including our brain.

4. Reduce intake of alcohol

Moderate drinking helps to improve circulation of blood. Excessive drinking causes cognition, brain disorders, and brain chemistry increasing the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

5. Cut extra calories

As men age, the risk of damage of brain cells caused by inflammation and oxidation increase. Study shows that low calories diet helps our body function better than normal diet.

6. Exercise

Moderate exercise helps to improve circulation of blood and increase oxygen level that is vital for nourishing our brain cells as well as guarding our brain against any memory loss.

Susan Nickerson asked:


There are 5 early symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease you should watch out for. Most of us know about Alzheimer’s disease, but few of us know what these early or initial symptoms are.

So why is it important to understand more about this disorder? Currently, it is estimated that 10% of people over age 65 have Alzheimer’s disease and that over half of the U.S. population aged 85 and older suffers from it as well.

As far back as 2001, it was noted that Alzheimer’s cost the federal government about $50 billion. And costs are expected to rise annually.

Either directly or indirectly, we are all touched by this disorder. The more we know about the early stages and symptoms, the more we can do to lessen its effects on sufferers — and their families and friends.

In this article, you’ll discover Alzheimer’s early symptoms so you can take steps today to prevent further memory loss and cognitive decline in years to come.

So what are these 5 early symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease — and what can you do if you recognize them in yourself or someone you care about?

Brain longevity expert Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D., who is also President and Medical Director of the non-profit Alzheimer’s Research & Prevention Foundation or ARPF, shares his insights.

According to Dr. Dharma, the five early symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease are:

1. Short-term memory loss

2. Judgment impairment

3. Disturbance or changes in personality

4. Some type of other neurological difficulty involving language, motor activities, sensation, or executive brain function

5. Some loss of long-term memory

While many of us will have experienced some of these symptoms from time to time, early Alzheimer’s disease can be recognized when these 5 early symptoms begin to impair your life. One example of symptoms that significantly impact your life would be getting into your car regularly, only to forget where you are going.

If you recognize these 5 early symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease in yourself or loved one, what steps should you take?

Well, along with visiting your doctor for examination and testing, take a proactive and integrative approach to treating early Alzheimer’s disease.

According to Dr. Dharma and the ARPF, you should take action and change your habits in these 4 areas to help prevent further memory loss:

>> Diet and vitamins to feed your brain

>> Stress management to keep your cortisol level down

>> Exercise — physical, mind/body, even brain aerobics

>> Pharmaceutical drugs to minimize symptoms

Please consult your doctor if you think you or someone you love is demonstrating impairment due to these initial symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease.

By taking action now, you may be able to delay the full onset of Alzheimer’s disease, so that its most devastating symptoms never fully develop. Armed with your knowledge of these 5 symptoms, you can begin to recognize the early symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease.
