How Can You Safeguard Your Brainpower?

If there’s one thing we all would like, it would be to retain as many of our memories as we can as well as all of the things we’ve learned over our lifetime. We’d also like the ability to learn new things, like how to make a doll house for our granddaughter or how to bake our favorite dessert. In order to do that, we have to do whatever we can to keep our brain functioning properly.

Protecting Your Brain is my webinar that provides you with state-of-the-research ways to be able to do that. This webinar will teach you:

  • The factors that can impact and damage your brain
  • What is normal brain function and what is not
  • What can you do to protect your brain in spite of prior damage?
    • Continual Learning
    • Fitness – functional and body health
    • The best diet to protect your brain
    • Supplementation that supports the brain

This webinar is available for download in my store right now, and includes the questions about brain health I asked for weeks ago with answers based on the most current research.

The cost of the webinar is just $14.95 (Member and Insider discounts apply), but it contains priceless things you can do to protect your brain whether you’re 25 or 75. This webinar is for you. Don’t wait to get your copy. Do it now—you might forget it later!

Use It!

Paula, Riley, and I were in South Carolina for the past week visiting our son and his wife; the picture shows some of us collecting shells at Edisto Beach. After getting in and out of a boat, I came face to face with an issue that’s been bothering me for a while: balance. I don’t mean I’ve been falling down a lot; I mean getting the sensation that I’m not as stable as I used to be.

I decided that I was going to hit the road again—walking. I’ve been using the recumbent bike almost exclusively to maintain my fitness. But the lack of movement over uneven surfaces as you’re moving forward (or backward or sideways) causes stabilizer muscles to atrophy quicker than when you were younger.

We also helped cut down a couple of small white oak trees and stacked what will be firewood. Freshly cut wood is heavier than you might expect, and that brought to light the muscle I’ve lost.

Let me summarize it this way. Your body is going to change, without question. The more physical tasks you give up, whether it’s shopping for and carrying groceries, working in the garden, even taking out the garbage, the more physical decline you’ll have. Exercise is important for many reasons, but functional fitness helps you live your life. Use your body, or your world will start to shrink.

If losing muscle is worrying you, download Taking Back Your Muscle and Reclaiming Your Power, the first two parts of the Aging with a Vengeance series; they’re on sale for only $9.95 each. Meanwhile I’m working on the next Aging with a Vengeance presentation; the topic will be memory and learning. If you have any questions about diet, supplements, or products you’ve heard about, let me know and I’ll weave them into the presentation. It doesn’t matter how old you are now—this is about the number one fear that comes with aging: losing what we know. We’re going to attack it with a vengeance!
