Alzheimer's Tips

 As aging continues, memory lapses may become increasingly common. Is it Alzheimer’s disease?

“Dementia is a symptom, and Alzheimer’s disease is the cause of that symptom.

Alzheimer’s disease affects approximately 5 million people in the United States. It is a brain disease that gradually destroys a person’s memory and ability to learn and carry out daily activities; some Alzheimer’s patients may also experience abrupt changes in personality and behavior. Unfortunately, there is no known cure for Alzheimer’s disease, and there is no way to predict how fast the disease may progress in any individual.

Alzheimer’s disease is deterioration of nerve cells, which are responsible for cognitive skills and memory functions. These nerve cells, which control your behavior, personality, and other bodily functions, such as breathing, digestion, and circulation, die gradually; and the conditions progress from bad to worse, and even some regions in your brain may shrink. Memory loss or dementia is the first visible sign of Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer's Disease Tips

(1)  Your brain health is your heart health: what is good for your heart is also good for your brain. In other words, you need good circulation to ensure efficient pumping of blood to your brain to nourish your brain cells with oxygen and nutrients. Remember, your heart pumps about 20 percent of your blood to your brain. High blood pressure and high cholesterol are not brain friendly, because they cause blockage and build-up, and thus preventing the free flow of oxygen and nutrients to your brain. Control your numbers: cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, and body weight naturally.

(2)  Eat a healthy brain diet, which is a diet for a healthy heart, as well as a natural diet with little or no toxins that may damage the brain cells. For example, coconut oil and ginseng benefit the brain.

(3)  Control your body weight: do not become obese. A long-term study of 1,500 adults found that those who were obese in middle age were twice as likely to develop dementia in later life, and those who had high cholesterol and blood pressure had six times the risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease.

(4)  Free radicals cause oxidative damage to brain cells and tissues. Free radicals come from the toxic environment, as well as from toxic drugs and processed foods. Environmental free radicals cause oxidative damage to brain cells and tissues. No matter what, your brain is exposed to heavy metal toxins. Detox your body to remove its toxins on a regular basis for a healthier brain!

(5)  Learn to breathe right, because breathing affects your intake of oxygen to your brain. Optimize your breathing by learning how to breathe correctly, as well as by maintaining good posture at all times, because good posture and correct breathing go hand in hand.

(6)  Quit smoking, which interferes with blood flow and oxygen to your brain. Smokers are at a much higher risk for dementia.

(7)  Exercise regularly to control your blood sugar to maintain your heart health, and to pump more blood to your brain.

(8)  Keep your brain busy. Use it or lose it. Learn a new language, a musical instrument; play memory games.

(9)  Avoid stress in life. Stress may impair the normal functioning of your brain cells. Relax your mind with deep meditation, which is an antidote to stress. Research has shown that those who regularly meditated showed an increase of DHEA (anti-aging hormone); that is, those who meditated for more than 5 years were physiologically younger by more than 10 years than their chronological age. Meditate to make you younger and healthier for longer

(10) Maintain an active social life. Research has found those with a socially active life are better protected against Alzheimer’s. Often as you get older, your support system shrinks and you are unlikely to seek new relationships.”

The above is from Health and Wisdom Tips.

 Just remember, if it’s Alzheimer’s disease, there is not much you could do. Anyway, the consolation is that you wouldn’t have the memory to worry about that. The important thing is to keep your mind healthy and to increase your mind power.

Sharpen Your Mind for Better Health

When you think of longevity and natural health, think Alzheimer's disease. When you think of Alzheimer's disease, think sharpening the mind. When you think brain health, think from the neck up.

To live long with health and wellness, make some brain-healthy lifestyle changes, and take action by getting involved in these activities to keep your memory sharp and your brain healthy.

Truly, mental decline as you age may be due to altered connections among brain cells. The good news is: research has shown that keeping your brain active not only increases its vitality but also builds its reserves of brain cells and connections.

Research has also indicated that low levels of education are linked to a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease later in life. This may be due to a lower level of lifelong mental stimulation. That is to say, the more educated you are, the less chance you will get Alzheimer's disease - or at least the development of symptoms may appear much later in life.

Research has further shown that those who are bi-lingual and who constantly use two languages on a daily basis tend to develop greater immunity from the early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.

In short, your brain activities are responsible for your brain health, which is an important component of longevity health. To live long, you need to sharpen your mind, and don't let it idle.

Memory loss is rather common as you age. However, it does not necessarily mean you're going to have Alzheimer's disease. But combat memory loss like a disease. It is a misconception that you should write down what you need to do in order not to forget - well, that's a very passive way of dealing with the problem of memory loss. It's very much like "cutting you toes to avoid the worms." Remember, if you don't use your brain power, you will lose it. It's that simple. Don't try to remember things the hard way.

Memory Improvement Techniques shows you how to harness fully your brain power. It unlocks the secrets to a perfect computer-like memory in just about 5 minutes a day.

Remember, at any age, your memory is powerful; the only problem is that it is untrained. Memory Improvement Techniques does just that - training you to acquire the skills of "flash memorization." You don't need to read memory books, or attend expensive memory workshops; just get the book, in which you will find everything you need to know about improving your memory. This book will make you proud of your memory -- and it goes a long way to delay and prevent Alzheimer's disease.

At any age, you can still make some significant changes in your lifestyle; you don't have to turn your life upside down, or make extremely drastic changes to achieve the many benefits of sharpening your mind. Start with something small to keep your brain active every day. Stay curious - commit to lifelong learning. Stay healthier and younger as you age.

Empower the Mind to Ask

You may have many questions about your life, such as "Why me?" or "Why not?" Not knowing answers to the questions, or, worse, not even knowing what questions to ask, is the source of human unhappiness. After all, life is about asking questions and finding answers to the questions asked.  

“Am I happy?” is just one of the many questions you need to ask yourself in the course of your life and living. Nobody but you have the answer to that question because it is your life and nobody can live it for you, let alone giving you the answer to that simple but difficult question.

That said, one of the objectives of life is to ask and answer as many more questions as you go along your life journey, thereby instrumental in awakening your self-enlightenment.

·       Some of these probing questions you may want to ask may include the following:

·       

         Who am I? How would I describe myself?

·           What are my life passions? Why am I passionate about them?

·           What are my achievements in life to date?  Am I proud of them, and why?

·           Do I have a role model in my life?  Do I ever wish I were that role model?

·           Do I love myself? If not, why not?

·           At this point in my life, am I worried about my future?

Life is a journey of self-discovery, a continuous process of asking thinking questions and seeking self-enlightening answers from them. Please note that the answer to every thinking question you ask may change over time, because life is forever changing, and changes are transformative. The more you ask, the clearer your mind will become, and the more ready you will be to receive the answers.

Although asking questions is a self-learning process, do not seek absolute answers from the questions asked; more importantly, do not seek answers that cannot be given to you. The most important thing in questions-and-answers is to experience everything, not just to pursue knowledge. As a matter of fact, knowledge can help, but it can also hinder. When you only follow what you know, and forget what you feel, you can easily be led down the wrong path. Extensive knowledge and logical reasoning may not necessarily compound wisdom.

Live every question you are going to ask yourself, and live in its presence. Be patient towards all those questions that you cannot answers. True enlightenment may dawn on you one day when you find yourself asking no more thinking questions because you already have all the answers; that is the ultimate self-enlightenment.

“From knowing to not knowing,

This is superior.

From not knowing to knowing,

This is sickness.

It is by being sick of sickness

That one is not sick.

The sage is not sick.

Because he is sick of sickness,

Therefore he is not sick.”

Tao Te Ching, Chapter 71

Enjoy the process of self-reflecting all the thinking questions you are going to ask yourself. Without self-reflection, you may exist for other people, and not for yourself. Now is the time to start asking questions, and putting yourself on the right path to intuiting wisdom in the art of living well.

The Book of Life and Living

This 200-page book on wisdom in living is based on the integration of conventional wisdom, the ancient wisdom of Tao from China, and the spiritual wisdom of the Bible. The art of living well is holistic living with harmony of the body, the mind, and the spirit.

Life is short. Make the best and the most out of your life. Learn how to use your mind to control your thoughts to live the life as if everything is a miracle.

"Doctor, You're Fired!"

If you wish to say to your doctors: "Doctor, you're fired!", you must learn how to empower your brain power.

According to Dr. Robert S. Ivker, D.O., past president of the American Holistic Medical Association (AHMA),"being mentally healthy means that you recognize the ways in which your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and attitudes affect your well-being and limit or expand your ability to enjoy your life."Therefore, brain power is the foundation of body-mind medicine.

Scientists have recognized that the mind and the body are not separate aspects, but rather interrelated expressions of who and what you are. Specifically, neuropeptides, (biochemicals) which are responsible for your mood, pain, pleasure, and immune and hormone function at the cellular level, originate in your brain.

Empower Brain Power

The human brain has about 15 billion cells, and only about 10 to 15 percent of brain power has been fully utilized, so there is still great potential of brain power for holistic health and complementary wellness of the body, the mind, and the soul—in other words, the overall well-being of an individual.

Although everyone's brain differs, everyone can empower the mind, given the proper tools and training. Brain power is requisite for the art of living well. To live well, one must know how to harness one’s brain power to one’s advantage. Life is all about choices, and whether one lives well or not depends greatly on the choices one makes. But to make the right and meaningful choices is never easy.

To illustrate, health wellness is a matter of choice, not of chance. As a matter of fact, to be well is always mind over matter. Without brain power of the power of the mind, health wellness would be only a wish, but never a reality in one's life. Unhealthy eating habits and a wayward lifestyle are the major causes of degenerative diseases and other health problems. Everyone knows that. But knowing is one thing, while doing is another. Only mind over matter can help you change your lifestyle to attain ultimate health wellness.

By the same token, to live well, you must make meaningful and positive changes. The world we are living in is forever changing. Change, which is inevitable, is the essence of life. Without change, there will be no growth, no development, and therefore no improvement. Therefore, no matter how reluctant or resistant you are to change, you must adapt yourself to these changes in order to have the capability fo say: “Doctor, you’re fired!”

If you are willing to accept changes in order to live well, embrace and welcome these changes in your life so that you will find strength on the inside to bring about changes on the outside. It is all in the mind—mind over matter. Empower your brain power to give yourself that inner strength to change yourself from the inside out.

Practice Affirmations and Visualization

You can significantly increase your brain power with practices and exercises to train your brain with subliminal messages and visualization. Brain power is amazing: it is capable of doing almost anything, if you know how to unleash its power. Remember, you have both a conscious mind and a subconscious (or unconscious) mind, both of which are directed by your thoughts.

Control your mind to say: "Doctor, you're fired!"

As If Everything Is A Miracle: This 125-page book is about the wisdom in living as if everything is a miracle, just as Albert Einstein once said: "There are only two ways to live your life. One is to live as if nothing is a miracle. The other is to live as if everything is a miracle."

This 125-page book is about the wisdom to rethink your mind, renew your body, and reconnect your soul to realign your being for total wellness and well-being to live stress-free as if everything is a miracle.

In this day and age, living in different phases of life is challenging. For one thing, in this world of technology and information, many of us are addicted to speed, which seems like a prerequisite for success in career and in many others facets of life. As a result, stress is unduly created, which may lead to toxic actions, reactions, thoughts and emotions. Consciously and subconsciously we have created for ourselves a world in which our bodies, our minds, and souls have become toxic and we live as if nothing is a miracle.

To do just the opposite—living as if everything is a miracle—we have to renew the mind, renew the body, and reconnect the soul, and realign the being so that we know who we really are, instead of who we "think" we are.

Use Both Body and Mind to Overcome Difficulties in Weight Loss

Many people wish to lose weight, but many of them become only victims in the battle of the bulge. There are several reasons why it is so difficult to lose weight:

If you want to lose 10 pounds, consider this: 3,500 calories equal one pound of your body weight; to lose 10 pounds of body weight, you have to expend 35,000 more calories than you consume. Mathematically, to lose 10 pounds in two weeks, you need to burn 2,500 more calories a day. You know this is not a piece of cake! So forget it!

There is no magic bullet to weight loss. If you want a quick fix to your weight problem, forget it!

If you want to jump from one diet to another, your body weight will only “yo-yo” more, creating more frustration, and many more health problems down the road. Forget about fad diets!

Low-calorie foods are generally disagreeable and unpleasant to the palate. To use low-calorie foods to lose weight is an ordeal. Food is to be enjoyed. Nobody has the perseverance for sustained self-denial. Forget it!

You are living in a difficult environment—an environment that promotes overweight, if not obesity.

As a baby, you are stuffed, and your parents want you to look plump, so you would look cute.

As a child, you are told to clean up your plate, so as not to waste your food. Often times, you parents bribe you with a candy, so you would behave yourself. When you are a guest in someone's house for dinner, you never turn down a desert, so you would look appreciative of hospitality.

As an adult, you are bombarded with coupons for cheap junk food.

As an American, you are pressurized into taking the Standard American Diet (SAD). The typical Standard American Diet (SAD) is loaded with fat—unhealthy saturated and even hydrogenated fats (now they are trying to ban this from the fast food industry).

A typical fast-food burger has over 500 calories and over 30 grams of saturated fat.

Even the healthy-looking salads touted as health food in some fast-food restaurants are nothing short of calories and fat: with the fattening dressing, some may even exceed those of a burger.

Everyday about one quarter of the U.S. population eats fast food.

Twenty years ago, the average American consumed less than 2,000 calories a day, but today the average calorie consumption has increased by a staggering 60 percent.

The billion-dollar food industry is forever creating new products to allure you into eating more and gaining more. Maybe you are meant to be obese!

Effective weight management is to use both the body and the mind. That is, you must have internal body cleansing to get rid of all toxins that are responsible for food cravings, as well as harness your mind power to exercise discipline and perseverance in your fight against obesity.

Empower Your Mind to Let Go of All Attachments

Attachment is human refusal to let go of anything that seems indispensable and indisposable.  It is no more than a safety blanket to overcome fear—fear of change and of the unknown from that change. To cope with that fear, all attachments become distractions.

Attachment is basically your emotional dependence on things and people that define your identity, around which you wrap your so called “happiness” and even your survival. Attachment is holding on to what you are unwilling to let go of, whether it is something positive or negative. Attachments are the source of human miseries. Worse, attachments may come in many different forms—such as careers, relationships, success, wealth—that many of us are most vulnerable to. Use your mind power to let go of all your attachments.

The Wisdom of Letting Go

The ancient Tao wisdom from China provides a blueprint for nourishing human wisdom: an empty mind with reverse thinking, mindfulness for clarity thinking, living in the present with no expectations of the future, no picking and choosing, accepting and embracing everything that comes in the natural cycle of change—what goes up must always come down. True human wisdom is the ability to understand that attachments are no more than distractions of the mind from letting go of anything that is impermanent.  

You are a two-in-one person: your ego-self and your spirit. They always co-exist and are in constant struggle with each other. The more attachments you have, the more assertive and dominant your ego-self is over your spirit, which provides spiritual wisdom to help you live in the material world.

The human flaw comes from attachments of the ego-self. To overcome this flaw, human wisdom alone may be inadequate; it requires the complement of spiritual wisdom, which is turning to the Creator with trust and obedience—that is, letting go to let God control the uncontrollable in life.

This 111-page book provides inspiration from ancient Tao wisdom to enhance human wisdom to believe in spiritual wisdom of letting go to live as if everything is a miracle.

29 Smart Steps to Teach Your Smart Kid to Read

Get your book for FREE from AMAZON from October 4, to October 8, 2016.

This 117-page is based on how I taught my daughter to read some 30 years ago. 

Like all proud parents, I was and still am proud of the fact that I could teach her how to read when she just turned three (most children learn at the age of five). The TV and all electronic devices may not be as effective as YOU, the parent, to teach your child through everyday intellectual interactions, games, and activities. 

This book provides 29 steps that could begin as early as your baby is one-month-old. My daughter became a proficient reader when she was five (reading books with little or no illustrations). By seven, she would not let me teach her anything -- she could find everything from books. It paid off and it's worth all the initial efforts in teaching her to become an early reader. Now she's an attorney in the United States.  I wrote this book because she has recently become a mother herself, and that's why I wrote this book to share my experience some three decades ago.

Anger and Stress

According to NBC News, in Chicago, there is a place called “Anger Rooms,” where guests can unleash their anger by smashing and destroying objects like glass or a TV. Of course, you have to pay a fee for that. The room can also be set up to look like an office or a kitchen so that guests can experience this one-of-a-kind therapeutic experience to release their frustrations.   

Donna Alexander, the creator of the Anger Room, first thought of the idea as a teenager living in Chicago, She said that after she had witnessed domestic violence and fights at school as a teenager, she wanted to create a space where anyone can lash out without serious consequences. 

The 30-minute session in the Anger Room, where you could literally destroy everything in the room in order to de-stress yourself is not a therapy; it is absurdity. The reason is that it may de-stress you during that session, but it does not address the stress issue itself, which is the origin of your problem. So, what would you do the next time you find yourself in a similar stressful situation—destroying your own room like you did before? Stress comes from the ego-self. Get rid of your ego, and there will be no stress. 

“No Ego No Stress” is made up of 4 parts.

PART ONE An Introduction to Stress:

It explains how and where stress comes from; the damage and devastation of stress to human health.

PART TWO Conventional Wisdom:

The major life stressors come from career, money, relationship, adversity, and time. Conventional wisdom offers many strategies for stress relief, such as exercise, herbs, medications, meditation, and psychotherapies, among many others. Conventional wisdom may reduce stress levels, but it does not eradicate stress completely. Conventional wisdom only complements the ancient Tao wisdom for ultimate stress relief.

PART THREE Tao Wisdom:

This part not only explains what Tao wisdom is all about, but also contains the complete translation in simple English of all the 81 short chapters of “Tao Te Ching” which is one of the most translated works in world literature. Going through the whole script, interpreted and translated by the author, will enable you to understand the essentials of Tao wisdom for stress-free contemporary living.

PART FOUR No Ego No Stress:

Stress originates from the human mind: how it perceives and processes life experiences. What is stress to one individual may not be stress to another. This part explains in detail how having no ego can eradicate all stress related to career, relationship, money, adversity, and time.

Stress is one of the many underlying causes of human diseases, especially autoimmune diseases, and a major stumbling block in natural health and self-healing. Unfortunately, stress is common in modern living: it may come from careers, relationships, finance, and simply everyday living. To get rid of stress, you need more than just relaxation techniques to help you:  you need to get rid of your ego. Without your  ego, you have no stress. It's just simple!

Your Stress and Your Ego

Stress comes from your mind, which originates from your ego. Stress is one of the many underlying causes of human diseases. If you have been diagnosed with an life-threatening disease, it is particularly important not to let stress worsen your disease symptoms or prognosis. Let go of your ego is let go of your stress. There is no other way.

Overcome stress with Tao wisdom, the ancient Chinese wisdom  of Lao Tzu,  the sage who authored the immortal classic "Tao Te Ching. "  This ancient classic has become one of the most translated books in world literature; its popularity is due to its  profound and unconventional wisdom, which is both intriguing and controversial. Tao wisdom may hold the key to stress relief for modern living.

"NO EGO NO STRESS" is a 134-page book on how to use the Tao wisdom to relieve stress. All stress-relief strategies of contemporary wisdom cannot totally eliminate everyday stress; they may only complement the ancient Tao wisdom in coping with stress. Live your life as if everything is a miracle.

Learn how to use the ancient Tao wisdom to overcome stress related to autoimmune disease.

NO EGO NO STRESS” points out how the human ego is formed by the subconscious mind through its perceptions and interpretations of life experiences. The author relates to the famous saying by Descartes, the great French philosopher: “I think, therefore I am.” It is a myth or misconception that you are “who” and “what” you think; you are not the products of your thoughts. “Who” and “what” you think you have become is just your ego-self, erroneously created by your thinking mind.

Tao wisdom focuses on the need of “emptying” and “reversing” the human mindset in order to see “who” and “what” you truly are, without any attachment to your ego. According to Lao Tzu, the ego is unreal, because it is based on past memories and projections of those memories into the future as desires and expectations. The past was gone, and the future is yet to come; only the present is real. Therefore, the ego-self that exists in the past or in the future is non-existing in the present, except in the mind. Without the ego, there is no need of protecting or sustaining it. Without fear and expectation, there is no need of judging, picking and choosing—they often result in making wrong choices and decisions, and thus creating stress. With no ego, there is no need of over-doing to fulfill the expectation. The problem with conventional wisdom is that the mind focuses on the past or the future, but seldom stays in the present. Only when the mind stays in the present can it see things as they really are and not as what they should be. Tao wisdom is essentially understanding of the true nature of things: that everything in life follows a natural order and pattern, such as life begets death, success is followed by failure, what goes up must come down. Tao wisdom is self-intuition to know and understand self and others, as well as the world around.

Which Is Stressful: Concentration or Mindfulness?

Many of us do not concentrate on one thing at a time because our minds are compulsive; that is to say, our minds are multitasking. Concentrating on multiple things at the same time is always stressful.

But is concentration itself stressful?

Concentration is forcing the mind to focus on one static point using willpower. For example, if you concentrate on writing an essay or studying a topic for an examination, you may put in so much of your attention or time that you even forget your dinner. Worse, if you are multi-tasking, trying to concentrate on doing several things at the same time.

Mindfulness is different from concentration in that in mindfulness you are noticing something in a relaxed manner. That is to say, your attention is naturally spontaneous without any undue distraction.

Practice mindful walking: walking while paying attention to your steps, the movements of your limbs or focusing your eyes on the sidewalk or a distant object or building. The objective of the attention is to shut off your mind to give it a meaningful break.
