Reach Your Potential with Neurofeedback Therapy for Pain, Behavior and Mood Management
In studies of those aged 90 and beyond, the level of exercise was correlated very strongly with longevity. Your brain benefits from exercise just as much as your muscles do. An average of 45 minutes a day provides the most benefit, but even 15 minutes helps. Keep moving to keep your brain fit.
Sometimes just slowing down and making a change in a process can improve performance. This can reduce stress and open the door for learning. One researcher found that children that often write numbers backwards form them correctly when they slow down. Something as simple as using a different pencil when they write numbers gives them time to slow down while they make the switch. This simple task allows the child to calm down and focus.
The brain is the final frontier. How much do you know about your brain? Brain research has taught us many things in the last 10 years. Take advantage of National Brain Awareness Week and learn about your brain. Learn about brain function and become aware of what it means to have a neurological condition.
Here’s how we’re celebrating National Brain Awareness Week in Nevada County:
Throughout the week, information will be posted on the Sierra EEG blog at http://www.SierraEEG.com.
There will also be an information table at Briar Patch with free educational brain health materials for adults and children including pictures to color, bookmarks and stickers. The Madeline Helling Library will have some materials as well.
The celebration will continue at the end of the month with a display at “Emergence: 2012” March 24th & 25th. The fair is located at the Miners Foundry 325 Spring Street in downtown Nevada City. This display will include literature on brain health and fun brain activity books for kids. You will even have an opportunity to play a video game with your brainwaves.
