CHAPTER 1- WHAT ARE NEUROBIC EXERCISES

A growing new body of knowledge called Neurobics is gaining popularity. Neurobics refers to mental exercises that enhance the brain’s performance. Dr. Lawrence Katz was an early pioneer in the field and coined the term Neurobics. It covers a broad spectrum, drawing on some previously known ideas then adding supplemental activities to the core research.

This new research in brain activity is that the brain like other parts of the body produces new cells that adapt and become integrated in the brain’s overall function. Previously, it was believed that brain cells were fixed, that you had a given number at birth. Then the research branched out into producing specific activities that stimulate brain activity.

The first part of this discussion covers the background activities that stimulate brain function, starting with diet and exercise then we discuss the more complex theories of mental activity. Included here will be specific brain related exercises.

Diet

Water is the key to life. A baby in the womb is 90% water. After birth it is 80% water. As an adult we are 70% water. In old age water drops to 60%, then to 50% in death. Our brains are 75% to 90% water. As you can clearly see water is critical. The oxygen in water travels to every cell in our body. Dehydration or lack of water causes fatigue and diminishes our ability to focus and concentrate.

Some foods are especially good for us. Eating fish two or three times a week provides Omega 3. Some research indicates that it lowers dementia and strokes. Most berries especially blueberries are also beneficial.

Walnuts calm inflammation of cell walls. Raw cocoa and dark chocolate are two known antioxidants. Use baking cocoa in milk. The milk has lactose that is a form of sugar and sweetens the cocoa.

Exercise

Physical movement stimulates the brain. Playing all kinds of sports activates brain activity. Your brain processes hundreds of connections for you to perform a given sport. Dance is another activity that increases brain function.

Now we examine the mind and the brain. We often confuse the mind with the brain. The mind is non-physical while the brain is a physical organ inside our bodies. How the
