Brain health tips

Peak performance - Dr. Harold Harung



Reasoning training

"Zientz teaches patients three simple strategies: integration is breaking down and summarizing information, innovation is coming up with solutions to problems and strategic attention means blocking out useless details.
"So you can save your cognitive capital for thinking about things that really matter," said Zientz.
Sina Aslan, Ph.D., Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Center for Brain Health, studied the brains of people who completed the Smart Training program and noticed more blood flow for those participants.
One person improved blood flow by over 12 percent.
Most of the patients also increased the speed of communications across brain networks by 30 percent.
"Thirty percent faster speed is probably regaining 20 years of brain function," said Dr. Chapman
Researchers can actually see brain changes after just twelve hours of training, but it isn't a permanent fix."[7]

Prayer and the brain

"It has been found that 12 minutes of daily focused prayer over an 8 week period can change the brain to such an extent that it can be measured on a brain scan (How God Changes Your Brain: Breakthrough Findings from a Leading Neuroscientist– March 23, 2010 by Andrew Newberg M.D, Mark Robert Waldman. P26,27.). This type of prayer seems to increase activity in brain areas associated with social interaction compassion and sensitivity to others. It also increases frontal lobe activity as focus and intentionality increase.
