Never Stop Learning

The most difficult part of adult learning is choosing to learn. 

That’s the closing line from a recent Seth Godin blog. If you want to read it in its entirety, click the link below. Reading it double-tapped the nail on the head for me. There are definitely some courses and areas of study I would love to learn more about; I just haven’t chosen to spend the time doing it. One course would be on where and how to use herbs in cooking. The other is learning how to make sauces of all types. As Seth suggests, I just haven’t decided to do it for a myriad of reasons.

The other nail on the head was for you as readers to take the time to learn about aging, regardless of your current age: what you can do now, if you’re not older, and what you can do when you’re there. The earlier you start in life, the more you can accomplish and the better you’ll be able to meet the challenges of aging.

Meanwhile, I’m preparing the next component of Aging with a Vengeance. That will be another opportunity to learn more about changes in your body as you grow older, and even better, what you can do about it based on the latest science. Before I announce the date for the next webinar, I’m going to give you the opportunity to get the first three Aging with a Vengeance videos so you can learn about Reclaiming Your Power, Taking Back Your Muscle, and Managing Pain at a reduced rate. I’m lowering the price of these webinar replays to just $9.95. That’s an opportunity to learn a lot at your own pace. Then you can take another opportunity with the next Aging with a Vengeance later this month.

Insiders: Remember you can download free copies of the MP3 or PDF for all topics of The Bottom Line. Subjects include Alzheimer’s disease, migraines, sucralose, and more.

“You don’t know what you don’t know” is a common expression. Isn’t it time you take this opportunity to learn?

What are you prepared to do today?

Further Research: Fat Intake and Learning

I always find more research than I can actually use; either the study was too small or the study didn’t exactly apply to the topic. It doesn’t mean it wasn’t good research, but I have to stop somewhere. This week, I’m going to share my take on three research articles I found when I prepared for the ADHD webinar.

The first involves an examination of dietary fat in kids and their ability to learn. The researchers examined the diets of 70 children 9 to 11 years old. Their hypothesis was that as the ratio of omega . . .

Drinking Your Phytonutrients: The Bottom Line

To finish this series, I’ll briefly cover two recent research studies on coffee and tea, and then give you the bottom line and a recipe.
 
Research
Green Tea and Neuronal Mitochondria
The mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cells, and that includes brain cells. When they operate at peak activity, they provide our brains with the energy for learning and memory. The downside is that they produce many free radicals in the process, and if we don’t have antioxidants to quench those free radicals, it can cause a decline in mental function. Researchers have recently . . .
