Focus on four pillars of brain health: physical exercise, a balanced diet, stress management, and brain exercise. Stress management is important since stress has been shown to actually kill neurons and reduce the rate of creation of new ones. Brain exercises range from low-tech (i.e. meditation, mastering new complex skills, lifelong learning and engagement) to high-tech (i.e. using the growing number of brain fitness software programs).

I had accepted the fact that I was going to be an obese, physically disabled individual for the rest of my life. Tht was until I met a person that showed me the proper way to exercise and control my breath. I am now an exercise addict (great, another addiction) and I am in school to be a physical therapist. Exercise is more than beneficial for you cardiovascular, circulatory, and muscle health. It has amazing ramifications upon your mental health. Once the body becomes syncronized, it eases the mental strain upon ones mind. It allows easier and more free thought because the thought process is not always involved in thoughts of, "Is this right? Does it look ok?" I am still physically disabled and will be for life but I no longer see myself as someone who is in need of assistance All because I learned to exercise properly.

Hope you can hit the pool again soon. Good to hear physical exercse is being promoted - now we just need to let the powers that be know about brain exercise so that everyone uses ALL of their muscles (both mental and physical!). Get well soon! Sorry to hear about the flu Eleanor! Hope you can hit the pool again soon.

The Government is really starting to push fitness and exercise (but not brain fitness.. yet!) here in the UK, as child obesity rates are now the highest in Europe, and it's been predicted that our National Health Service could actually be bankrupted by the increasing problems associated with it.
