Train Your Heart To Protect Your Mind...Neuroscience Research

New research in the Neurobiology of Aging reveals that maintaining cardiovascular health is a key aspect of maintaining brain health during the aging process. Researchers at the University of Montreal measured physical fitness in two groups of people: young adults ages 18-30, and older adults aged between 55 and 75. They also had their brains and bodies scanned by MRI to measure blood flow, brain activity, and to measure the health of their aorta. The researchers found that physical fitness could help slow age-related cognitive decline, and that a healthier aorta corresponded with healthier brain vasculature. These results support the idea that lifestyle factors play an important role in the aging process.

September is Chiari Awareness Month!

I am Just One....

JUST Smile

Sometimes when I say "I'm OK", What I really want is for someone to hold my hand, look me in the eye and say, "You're not OK", here's $1000 

This Moment...

Look past your thoughts
and you may drink
the pure nectar of this moment...

Forgiveness

Forgiveness...
“The willingness to forgive is a sign of spiritual and emotional maturity. It is one of the great virtues to which we all should aspire. Imagine a world filled with individuals willing both to apologize and to accept an apology. Is there any problem that could not be solved among people who possessed the humility and largeness of spirit and soul to do either -- or both -- when needed.”

― Gordon B. Hinckley

Truth to Power...

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that

Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day... TODAY, and I'm going to be happy in it
