Recovering Memory In Dementia — One Simple Trick

Healthy Mindframe, Intuitive Medicine, Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle, Soul Healing / By

New research shows that in Alzheimer’s patients, long term memory can be regained through listening to music!   Listening to music that is familiar to the dementia patient from their past reawakens long term memories about who the person is, who their family is, and the context of their life. This has huge implications in quality of living, in social interactions and even in activity levels. If you play music that holds special meaning to a patient experiencing memory loss, you are very likely to help them recover context and depth and recognition in the form of long term memory […]

How To Age-Proof Your Brain (plus 12 more medically proven anti-aging tips)

Healthy Mindframe, Medical Reports / By

According to a recent study just published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, burning calories from physical activity is what preserves brain volume as we age, and is capable of slashing Alzheimer’s risk in half!   Although we’ve long known that being physically active is neuroprotective, this latest study shows a direct correlation between energy expenditure (calories burned from physical activity) and the volume of gray matter in our brains. And excitingly, this brain boost is independent of cognitive status, meaning even elderly who have already begun to exhibit cognitive changes will benefit from increasing their activity level. The results

Low Vit D Linked To Increase In Dementia And Broken Bones (You Can Prevent It)

Female Health, Medical Reports / By

Low vitamin D levels are associated with a substantial acceleration of memory loss and cognitive decline, a new study shows.   Published Sept 14, 2015 in JAMA Neurology, researchers looked at baseline vitamin D levels and mental status change in over 380 adults (average age 75 years old.)   Here is what they found:   35% of participants were vit D insufficient. Average vit D levels were lowest among participants found to have dementia (average levels were 16 ng/mL — goal vit D levels are 40 ng/mL or higher according to the Vitamin D Council.) Followed for almost 5 years,

Anxiety Ages You: 10 Ways To Reverse It

Healthy Mindframe, Medical Reports / By

Published February 5, 2015 in the British Journal of Psychiatry, a new study shows that anxiety increases the rate of aging AND that treating anxiety helps reverse the aging process!   Looking at over 2,300 patients with anxiety disorders and matched controls, researchers found that those with active anxiety had shorter telomere length than both those with no history of anxiety disorders and those with adequately treated anxiety disorders. Shorter telomere length is a known marker of aging, and the fact that telomere shortening can be reversed when an anxiety disorder is treated is awesome news.     Telomeres are

Three Medically Proven Ways To Save Your Brain

Grounding, Healthy Mindframe, Intuitive Medicine, Medical Reports / By

A study recently released in Frontiers In Psychology on Jan 21, 2015 shows that meditation may actually slow age-related brain atrophy.   Long-term meditators, examined under MRI imaging, were found to have less gray matter loss WIDESPREAD throughout the brain, when compared to controls who did not meditate. This is the largest study to date looking at effects of mediation on the brain!   The details: 50 men and women who were long-term meditators were compared with matched controls of the exact same sex and age, but who did not meditate at all. The participants were all imaged using the

Recently I got an email from a lovely soul enrolled in my Unlimited Email Plan… …She wanted to know what I recommended for Anti-Aging. Wow… that’s a big topic!   So, I thought I’d share some of my approach with you on the blog today in the hopes that you might get a fresh idea or two to incorporate into your day.   Generally for anti-aging there are three angles you could focus on:   1 — skin (yes it’s superficial but still important and young skin just feels so lovely!) 2 — body/internal health and 3 — the mind.
