How To Develop Your Full Brain Potential, Read Faster And Recall More
Why can’t we maintain the brain power we had as children?
There was a time when our memory was at its peak. But as time goes on and as the concerns of life crowd on us, we seem to lose some of the brain power we had as kids, or did we?
- The body naturally ages, and that includes the brain too
- The stress of everyday life takes a toll on our health
- Inadequate nutrition further compromises our health.
A Danish study of more than 5,000 adults found that those with adequate Vitamin E levels are 25% less likely to develop Alzheimer’s and dementia. Vitamin E, a fat soluble vitamin is believed to prevent the deterioration of signal pathways in the brain.
Vitamin E sources include spinach, Swiss chard, sunflower seeds, sunflower oil, mustard greens, almonds,papaya etc.
- Most of us do not breathe right; did you know experts tell us that by the time we are in our fifties, we would have lost about 40% of our breathing capacity?
- Even if we were all to breathe right, there is less atmospheric oxygen today than say a century ago.
- Ocean phytoplankton and trees, the earth’s oyygen generators, are been depleted at an alarming rate, and by implication, carbon dioxide concentration is believed to be increasing.
- Toxic medication can interfere with proper brain function:Lipitor for instance has been linked to memory and cognitive impairment.
- Would you believe obesity has also been linked to dementia? A Boston University study found that people with the fattest bellies have 3 times the risk of dementia. New research also shows that obese people have smaller brain size. Small brain size, research shows, is a risk factor for dementia!
What do all these have to do with you, or Brain Fitness?
Everything!
The brain, though 5% of body weight, consumes about 25% of its oxygen supply; in fact brain cells start to die within a few minutes of oxygen deprivation.
That’s why an ongoing research on the Naked Mole Rat, at University of Illinois, Chicago, is very important.
This African rodent may be the most efficient user of oxygen of all known animals. Among its numerous unique characteristics, the brain cells of this rodent survive longer under oxygen deprivation!
But there are techniques for:
- Improving brain fitness
- Protecting yourself from aging brain diseases
- Developing a photographic memory even with the pressure of everyday life.
Does Man Have Superior Brain Power?
Compared to other animals man probably has the largest brain as a percentage of body weight. But this brain is also only 5% efficient. We use only 5% of our brain power on average!
How can that be? Look at what man has achieved with only 5% brain efficiency, and that’s without a concerted brain fitness program.
What tremendous abilities and talents can we unleash with another 5% improvement in brain efficiency!
We are told that locked in the 95% of the brain power we have yet to use are incredible abilities, the surface of which we haven’t even scratched. Our brain is what has helped us survive and dominate other species-after all compared to other animals, man is soft and lazy and his senses are dull.
Consider these:
- Pound for pound the gorilla is stronger than man
- You’ve seen a dog get hit by a car, get up and with a little howl skimp away. A man with such trauma could be in the hospital for weeks
- We can hardly see in daylight, but some animals such as cats can see in the dark. Bats can even “see” without eyes
- Migrating birds read the subtle vibrations of the earth
- Sharks can smell a drop of blood a mile away
- Remember the Indonesian tsunami? It was reported that hours before the tsunami hit, animals started moving to higher ground. They sensed it.
If you lose your cell phone, can you recall all the numbers and names in your contact?
With the right brain fitness training, you can.
When it comes to brain efficiency, man is not helpless.
We know from experience that some disciplines can catapult man beyond the constraints of normal abilities. With these modes of interventions, you can supercharge your brain, read and comprehend what you read, and develop a photographic memory.
These disciplines include, but not limited to:
- Yoga/Meditation
- Martial Arts
- Hypnosis/Bio-feedback
- Subliminal Mind Programming
- Constant intellectual Stimulation
- Avoiding toxic medications
- Living a non-toxic lifestyle-Smoking for instance prevents deep breathing, which reduces available oxygen to the brain
- Keeping Stress as far away as possible
- The role of proper nutrition in brain function can not be over emphasized. Good nutrition is required for peak brain performance.
- Despite the scare on mainstream media about cholesterol, would you believe cholesterol is needed by the brain for transmitting electrical signals
- Other brain improvement techniques etc.
The memories stored in your brain let you know your way home, recognize your loved ones, navigate life.
The brain bookmarks a lot of indicators, landmarks, and associates these with some particular persons, places, and events-in fact a lot of brain improvement training programs incorporate these techniques in their training.
Why is a good memory important?
Well, memory is what makes you, you. That’s why Alzheimer’s disease is vey devastating, both to the patient and loved ones.
Your memory is what establishes your identity by itself, in a group, family, country. It defines your associations and relationships.
Your memory can even store past experiences, so you can “re-enjoy” them at a later date-a compliment, the feelings of love you feel for your loved ones, the feeling of joy when held by a lover days earlier etc.
A strategy of brain and memory enhancement is even good for business, your social life and survival.
If you ever forget an important date in your woman’s life, you’ll appreciate the need for a good memory. This will get you demoted from the bedroom to the couch. Ouch!
Did you know babies recognize their mothers by smell? The baby associates a particular smell with that of his mother. The baby stores this memory of maternal identification. That’s why the baby stops crying when you hand him to his mother. The baby says to himself:I recognize this person, this is my mother, this is comfort, I am safe!
Did you also know that the first sense to develop in a fetus, is the sense of smell?
So you see, memory does not just involve what we hear. It can also involve what we smell, what we see, or what we experience. A good memory can save your life.
That’s why a brain fitness training program is the greatest gift you can give yourself.

Muslim Chinese Martial Arts $86.03 Muslim Chinese martial arts have a long history in China, and many Muslims have participated at the highest level of Chinese martial arts. However, the Qing Dynasty persecutions greatly stimulated the practise of martial arts among Chinese Muslims. The Hui started and adapted many of the styles of wushu such as Bajiquan, Piguaquan, Liu He Quan, and other styles. There were specific areas known to be centers of Muslim martial arts, such as Cang County in Hebei Province. These traditional Chinese martial arts were very distinct from the Turkic styles practised in Xinjiang.

List of Fictional Martial Arts $84.44 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Many works of fiction such as movies and books have characters that practice martial arts. Usually they practice existing martial arts, such as Judo or Aikido, but sometimes a martial art is made up for dramatic purposes or to lend a fictional world a sense of authenticity. This is a list of such martial arts, sorted by the medium of the fictional work they appear in. Dejafu from Terry Pratchetts Discworld. Specifically demonstrated in Thief of Time by the History Monk LuTze, its only known master. It is best described as the feeling that you have been kicked in the head this way before. Cards as Weapons mock martial art of throwing playing cards with extreme force and accuracy, as presented in magician/cardscaler Ricky Jays book of the same title. It has since been used in many pieces of fiction as the martial arts of choice for a gambling rogue character, usually using razorsharp shuriken designed like playing cards for their attacks. The Magician with Bill Bixby features steel playing cards used in this manner.
