Exercise & A Yoga Stretch For Your Brain? You're going to love this!

Everyone knows that exercise is good for the body,
but did you know that it also is very important for a healthy brain?

Left Brain, Right Brain: Cognifit.com a free MindWorks bonus

The "use it or lose it" principle seems to work in our brains as well as for our muscles. 

Studies show aerobic exercise provides a tremendous benefit to a person's memory and demonstrates that it can also reduce both the biological and cognitive consequences of aging. (Sounds good, right?)

In addition to physical exercise, stimulating your brain will also make a significant difference in your cognitive skills. Whether you're trying to get your brain back into shape or you just want to keep it as strong as it is now, doing puzzles, taking on something challenging, learning an instrument, 
---anything to stimulate mental networks in a variety of ways can help the brain stay sharp and focused.

So is your brain worth 13 minutes a day?
It takes just 10 minutes to complete a really cool brain training program and then add an easy 3 minute Yoga exercise to powerfully stimulate healthy brain function. 

If you practice yoga regularly, then good for you!

Super Brain Yoga

You most likely already know that Yoga is scientifically proven to improve cognitive skills.
Just add this simple little exercise to your regimen and you're good to go.

If you aren't familiar with yoga, or you think it's nothing but bunk, you might want to consider that The Cleveland Clinic now recognizes Yoga for its many health benefits.  The Practice of Yoga, which predates even written history, may only have a few studies to prove its many health benefits, but none can argue that it has withstood the test of time. Sometimes common sense must prevail, even without loads of 'scientific proof'. 
So I urge you to take just a few minutes a day to do this targeted brain health Yoga position. It surely won't hurt you and it may just do your brain a world of good.

I have to warn you that this yoga exercise does make you look little goofy while doing it.
(So just make anyone who is around you do it too! LOL)
Here's a short video explaining how to do the Yoga Exercise:




There is a science behind the movements and MRI proof that it does make
a difference. So, come on, a little goofy never hurt anyone.

Just give it a try---your brain is worth it!! It's been shown to help children
and adults alike.

I just started this week, so I can't really speak to the results yet, but I'm also engaging my parents, including my mom who suffers from severe dementia in the practice, so I'll keep you posted. 

Next, I highly recommend the Brain Training Program, Cognifit,
which is included as part of the MindWorks Healthy Brain Program


CogniFit is a great program which only takes a few minutes a day. 

Once you get in the habit of using it, you'll begin to notice a difference.
(Just like when you exercise your body!)

Here's how CogniFit works:

I love, love, love that Cognifit is included for free as a bonus when I bought MindWorks as part of my complete brain health program. 

MindWorks is a breakthrough brain health supplement from Shaklee,
the #1 Natural Nutrition Company in the U.S.
Lead by MIT-trained neuro-scientist Dr. Laurel Fisher, PhD, 
it took Shaklee's science & research team nearly 5 years to develop MindWorks.
It's been making such an impact in people's lives that it will be featured on
The Dr. Phil Show in November.   More details about that to come soon. 

If you'd like to try MindWorks just click on the photo below to receive a sample in the mail.  (If the link doesn't work, just go to : www.startsamplingcom/mindworks)
Want yours for FREE?  You'll need my referral code:  XA78730 

    While supplies last!   No worries, your address, etc. won't get shared. I respect your privacy!

Just so you know, I've been taking MindWorks for a little over 2 months and I find that I no longer have those 'mind mush days'.  Instead, I'm able to complete my daily to-do lists --sometimes without even looking at my list.  
That is HUGE for me. Usually, I'll start a task, get sidetracked, go to another task and never really get anything accomplished.
Some might call it "Oh Look, Shiny Thing" syndrome. Well, that was me.
Maybe you can relate.  All I know is that I stay much more on-task & focused and I love it.

I already had a subscription to Lumocity (also a good program), but when I got to use CogniFit for free, I thought I would compare the two programs so I could give people user feedback. 

I find I prefer CogniFit and now 'play' it daily.

Both programs work very well to strengthen areas which need attention, but I like the variety of 'games' on Cognifit much better.  Because I know that if isn't at least a little 'fun', I would not take the time to do it.  And now that I get it for free and don't have to pay for a yearly subscription, that's just an added bonus! Heck, who doesn't like to save a few dollars?  :-)

Stay well, my friends and Thrive!
