Hello, I just know that you are having a great start today and if not, you will begin to alter your perception to create what you want. To understand why you may want to alter your perception, read our previous articles to stay head. Yesterday was Stress-Silent Killer Part 3 and the previous articles on stress can be accessed there. Lets take off and learn something.

Many in the science community are aware that immune cells contribute to maintaining our brains ability to preserve cogntion and cellular renewal throughout life. As far as we are concerned here, a healthy mind requires a healthy body.

For those of us that relied soley on the medical community for information, it was once generally accepted and still taught in colleges today that each person is born with a fixed number of nerve cells in the brain. As our cells gradually degenerate and die during our lifetime, they cannot be replaced. Maybe this is where we get the notion that we can not learn new concepts after around the age of 18. Not to mention our rigid conditioned thinking patterns. This theory is especially alarming when we consider the high levels of stress-induced cortisol that causes our brain to shrink.

Although this theory is still being taught in colleges today by medical staff that charge thousands of dollars for the course and hundreds for the books. Wait a sec, imagine that? And this email is FREE OF CHARGE. Keep reading.

This theory was shot down when researchers discovered that certain areas of the adult brain do retain their ability to support and promote cell renewal, (called neurogenesis) throughout life and in particular, under conditions of mental stimuli and physical activity. The hippocampus is one such area that supports memory function. Can you imagine what life would be like without a functioning memory?

Professor Michael Schwartz and a team of scientists at the Neurobiology Department of the Weizmann Institute of Science, a top ranking multi-disciplinary research institute has new findings showing that certain simple actions slow down cognitive deterioration. Now, most people think that this is solely related to the elderly, yet they don't overstand that the elderly did not just wake up like this one day out of the blue. The digression started many years ago.

The findings above show us that the primary role of the immune system's T-cells or white blood cells that are responsible for the body's immunity enable parts of our brain such as the hippocampus to form new nerve cells and maintain cognitive function. So, for those that did not do so well in high school and college, there is still hope...

There are animal studies showing that exposure to an environment rich with mental stimulation and opportunities for physical activity lead to increased formation of new nerve cells in the hippocampus. The couch potato syndrome watching tv does not apply. Here, we can apply the term "use it or lose it" as it relates to brain power. If we don't work out, what happens to our muscle tone?

This should give us a new meaning to "a healthy mind in a healthy body". Knowing that our immune system contributes to the renewal of nerve cells is very important considering aging populations, high-stress environments, environments that are not mentally stimulating and declining immune system functions.

As we know, unhealty aging is also associated with decreased memory and the formation of new brain cells. By manipulating and boosting our immune system via nutritional foods, it is very possible to prevent or at least slow down age-related loss of memory and learning abilities. For those of us in our 20's, 30's, 40's and 50's, please understand that what you do today and each day will have a huge impact on what happens tomorrow.

Remember that what you do displays the actions that show you care to yourself and loved ones. It is bigger than just you.
