Everyone knows that the key to a healthy body is diet and exercise. Many people obsessively work out every day to keep in tip top shape. So, if we're so concerned with exercising our bodies, why do we often neglect to exercise our minds? Our brains are just like our muscles: use it or lose it. If we don't do daily activities to help keep our brain in top order, we lose important skills; particularly the skill of remembering. So if you want to remember your mother's phone number, your grocery list, or where you left your keys; start exercising your brain.

So, how exactly do you exercise your brain? There's no brain gym you can get a membership to with "memory classes", but there are things you can do on your own. Here are some things you can try to keep your neurons limber.

* Open a newspaper.

Sure, reading the paper might expand your knowledge, but if you really want to get your brain in shape, turn to the crossword puzzle. You can also try solving other puzzles that require using your language skills. These help you remember things by making you regularly access simple memories (ie certain words)

* Try the latest puzzle craze.

Go to a book store, go online, or look in the paper; you're likely to find Sudoku puzzles. These are number puzzles that are becoming increasingly popular. They help exercise your brain's deductive reasoning skills. Plus, they're fun and incredibly addictive.

* Learn something new.

You've probably heard people say that learning something new pushes old information out of your brain. This is not only wrong, it's just plain silly. The capacity of your brain is only determined by how much you want to put in it. Try learning a new skill or how to play a musical instrument. Learning a skill and continue to use it will keep your memory accessing skills limber.

* Books, games and services.

While there aren't actually gyms you can go to, there are ways to get exercises specifically designed to improve memory. You can find these in book stores, online, and even in video game stores.

While it's great to exercise your brain cells, don't skip out on your trips to the gym. Keeping your body in good physical shape will help keep your brain healthy too. While cardio is the best work out to keep you healthy, you can still keep your memory if you can't perform a strenuous workout. Even a simple walk for an hour a day can help prevent or slow memory loss. So get up and go as much as you can to keep your brain going.

Most people don't worry about memory loss until they start to notice it slipping away, but the best time to start is while your mind is still sharp. You may not be able to bring your memory back, but you can keep it from fading. Regularly working your mind has even been shown to ward off Alzheimer's. So if you want to keep your mind sharp, be sure to eat right, get enough rest, and exercise regularly.

Knowing the difference between how a male and female prospect thinks should change the way you market your products and services to them. Cutting edge research now shows you how the brain chemistry affects men and women differently. And, knowing and routinely using this knowledge as a business manager or employer with prospects, customers and employees can make a huge difference in business' success.

Brain Chemistry Differences

It's similar to understanding someone who initially speaks what you perceive is a foreign language. If you can only speak English, you lose sales to probably all other people who speak a foreign language. Taking and using this new training, you learn to speak a new language of prospects who are already looking for your company's solutions.

For example, men may communicate incorrectly with women because women think differently from men. The brain's left hemisphere lives in an entirely different world and does completely different things and thinks completely differently from the way a woman does. But with this Gender Brain Chemistry technology, what was once hidden from men now becomes revealed. And what was once hidden from women also becomes revealed. This understanding of how the other side of the brain thinks improves communication and sales for businesses unlike anything out there.

How Does our Brain Chemistry Affect Us at Work?

Brain chemistry drives us in how we think, feel and act. For example, men's bodies crave testosterone and this shows up as desiring challenge, deadlines, goals, taking credit, to be left alone, and to be shown appreciation. Women's bodies crave oxytocin and this shows up as sharing credit, caring about employees and customers, trust, rapport, intentions, desiring respect. This affects interactions between manager and employee, between employees, with customers.

What Are The Benefits?

Here are some benefits to business owners, consultants, sole-proprietorships, whatever business you are in.

Cutting edge brain chemistry training brings results:

· Prospective customers or clients feel trust quickly and are more likely to buy.

· Customer retention occurs because customers feel that the company understands exactly what they need and will refer friends to the company for sales.

· Productivity Gains- when employees feel fulfilled, they naturally desire to do more for their employer to keep their jobs secure. Employees that stay longer saves the company 'new hire' costs associated with training and advertising for the new employee. So employee retention rates go up. For people who consult or have no employees, they improve sales because they know exactly what the prospect wants and can clearly give it to them. Also, they understand new ways about how to find qualified prospects.

· Other benefits include improved morale. With improved morale, employees are less likely to steal from their employer.

· Happy employees are ones who remain well longer. That equates to less insurance claims submitted by them and increased productivity because they are at work longer.

· This training reduces training costs in the long run because it's based on the science of how the brain works. So, the training is classic and can be taught again and again in the future without having to rehire me to retrain new employees. The local training office can use this training for new hires.

Last month, at an MIT Northern California event, we discussed what specific applications might take computer-based brain training to a new level, and highlighted the potential to test and improve Driving Skills.

Assessing and improving driving skills would be a top candidate, given both the well-defined nature of the need and the appearance of programs with growing evidence (both scientific and real-world) behind.

Along these lines, the New York Times just published an article, titled "Are You a Good Driver? Here's How to Find Out". A few quotes:

– "COULD a video game make you a better driver? More important, could computer software prevent teenagers from making fatal mistakes or even weed out older drivers whose debilities make them crash-prone?"

– "There are already programs like AAA's Roadwise Review (about $ 15), which is intended to help older people evaluate their driving."

– "There are other programs that will test mental agility and then use subsequent computer training sessions to improve a driver's skills. One such program is an online application called DriveFit ($ 89), which was developed by CogniFit, an Israeli company specializing in cognitive training software. DriveFit uses visual and memory tests to measure 12 driving-related cognitive abilities. "

A question we often get when talking with insurance companies, "So, can we really train drivers to act smarter behind the wheel"? Well, it depends of what "smarter" means (we are not aware of brain training programs to make drivers avoid alcohol, or sleep-inducing medicaments, before driving), but there is growing evidence that specific cognitive skills that are important for driving can , indeed, be trained, resulting in better driving outcomes.

A key research reference: the published studies by Dr. Wendy Karlene Ball and Dr. Jerri Edwards. We had the fortune to interview Dr. Edwards recently, and this is what she had to say when I asked her to explain the results of their 2003 Human Factors paper (Roenker, D., Cissell, G., Ball, K., Wadley, V., & Edwards, J (2003) .Speed ​​of processing and driving simulator training result in improved driving performance. Human Factors, 45: 218-233):

– "Our goal was to train what is called the" useful field of view. "The useful field of view is a measure of processing speed and visual attention that is critical for driving performance, and one of the areas that declines with age. has previously been shown that this skill can be improved with training, so we wanted to see what effect it would have on the driving performance of older adults, and whether the training would be more or less effective than a traditional driving simulation course.

– For the study, we divided forty-eight adults over fifty-five years old into two intervention groups of twenty-four people each. Each group received twenty hours of training. One group was exposed to a traditional driving simulator, where they learned specific driving behaviors. The other one went through the cognitive training program.

– Both groups' driving performance improved right after their respective programs, but most benefits of the driving simulator disappeared by month eighteen.

– The speed-of-processing intervention helped participants not only improve "useful field of view," the skill that was directly trained, but it also transferred into real-life driving, and the results were sustained after 18 months. And, by the way, the evaluation was as real as one can imagine: a 14-mile open road evaluation.

– Faster speed-of-processing seemed to enable adults to react better to unexpected events that require a fast response and to reduce by 40% the number of dangerous manoeuvres on real roads (defined as those required the training instructor to intervene during the evaluation ). "

Note: the program used in that study, called Visual Awareness, was recently acquired by Posit Science Corporation.

In short, more likely than not, I'd reply YES to the question used to open the New York Times article. A well-designed video game CAN make one a better driver.

Of course, this is an emerging field, and much more research needs to be done before applications become mainstream, but the field certainly deserves more attention, research dollars, and engagement by insurance companies to design and conduct real-world trials.

Allstate: what about spending just a fraction of your scary ad campaign ad campaign budget in exploring additional potential solutions?

I’m going to do something foolish: I’m going to talk about the left hemisphere of the brain. Why is this risky? Well, if you go out into the world, you’ll find people who describe themselves as left-brain dominant or right-brain thinkers. Then you find people who sneer at the first group, saying that the left-brain-right-brain thing is a myth.

It is. And it isn’t. People aren’t dominant in one half over the other. If you’re creative, then you use both sides of the brain. If you’re analytical, it’s the same story. Any category of mental tasks, like language processing or perception, uses both hemispheres. They work together.

But a car’s engine and wheels work together to get you somewhere. You wouldn’t call them the same thing, though.

It’s a mistake to say that only the right hemisphere is creative. It’s also a mistake to say that the two hemispheres are identical.

We often see personality changes when someone experiences brain damage. That isn’t surprising. What’s interesting, though, is that when the damage is localised to one hemisphere, it leads to reasonably predictable changes. A healthy left brain, for example, notices detail in the environment. A healthy right brain sees the bigger picture and how all these elements come together to create a cohesive scene.

Damage one hemisphere and perception changes.

The left hemisphere favours precision and other times, while the right deals with generalisations and the present moment. Language processing straddles both hemispheres but the left tends to handle most of it.

Of course, the brain is complicated. If nothing else, then neuroplasticity can alter this balance. Still, it’s an interesting generalisation.

Viewed through the lens of hypnosis, we can see a pattern between the hemispheres. Hypnotic inductions often use language and focused attention to encourage trance. The subject might pay attention to a specific sensation. Like all activities, it uses both hemispheres, though the induction favours the left.

What about the trance itself? As you move deeper into the hypnotic state, the details fade. You gain a sense that everything connects. Ideas form, following bizarre chains of associations.

The big picture. The right brain.

And from these ideas, you notice the finer aspects. Things crystallise into specific, glorious clarity.

The details. The left brain.

Is this why hypnosis is such a powerful workout for your brain? Shifting back and forth between the two hemispheres must strengthen the connections between them. Using the strengths of one to prompt a response from the other, practicing the art of shifting between them, as you rewire the neural highways into denser, richer patterns.

If true, it gives you a template for your own hypnotic experiences. Whether self-guided or induced in another, you’ll see stronger results by using this idea. Either dive deep into one style of thinking or switch between the two. How you combine these processes is unique to you – a fingerprint that identifies your style, or a dance with two moves. Embrace it. Experiment with it. You might just notice your hypnotic experiences enrich in strange and unusual ways.

There have been many studies conducted that indicate that there could be a correlation between cell phones and brain tumors. As a matter of fact, these studies actually lead medical professionals and other types of specialists to believe that there is, in fact, a relationship between the development of brain tumors and frequent phone use.

As a matter of fact, legislators in the State of Maine recently tried to get a bill passed in which cell phone manufacturers would have to put the following warning on their phones prior to distributing them to retailers:

“…This device emits electromagnetic radiation, exposure to which may cause brain cancer…”

– Courtesy of CNN.com Video

While this particular request to pass this bill failed in March of 2010, the Federal Drug Administration is encouraging companies that manufacturer these devices to create phones that help eliminate the increased exposure to the radiation that increases the risks associated with brain tumors and the onset of brain cancer.

What do the Professionals Have to Say?

The medical professionals and various researchers that have studied the effect of long term cell phone use state that there could be a biological based issue involved that result in issues that pertain to the tissues in the body.

These professionals stand by the fact that cell phones have not really been in use long enough to provide concise statistical data that supports the claims, but they also stand by the fact that the possibilities are there that there could be a direct correlation between brain cancer and the use of this type of mobile device.

While cell phones are found to meet the FCC’s standards for safety, but medical professionals are urging individuals that use these phones to understand that there could be a potential issue and to use the devices with caution.

Preventing Brain Tumors with Cell Phone Use

Based on the epidemiological studies conducted by those that are interested in establishing the link between cell phone use and brain tumors, the evidence is not conclusive enough to say that there is a direct link. However, these professionals do believe that there are some strategies that may be used to successfully prevent the possibility that brain tumors may develop as a result of phone use. The following prevention strategies seem to be logical based on what is known about this link:

• Individuals that use a cell phone should keep the mobile device as far away from their body as possible to reduce the exposure to the radiation that is emitted from the device.

• There are many hands-free and standard headsets that may be used in conjunction with cell phones. Those that are concerned about their exposure to radiation should use these cell phone accessories.

• Individuals that have a family history or a personal medical history that includes any type of tumor and/or cancer – specifically in the head and spinal cord region – should have regular checkups to ensure that they are in the clear on such medical complications as newly developed tumors.

If these strategies are incorporated when cell phones are used, an individual’s chance of developing a brain tumor may be drastically reduced.

It is OK that it may be a bit dramatic, but perhaps not as dramatic as you would think. The latest research seems to confirm among other things, that too much grains can increase your chances of serious cognitive disorders.

We are all too Familiar with Alzheimer’s and Dementia. We all hope it won’t happen to us. Turning your golden years into years of separation and fear. What could be worse than not recognizing the ones you love, not remembering your home and the things you love most? Living in a world of confusion and fear.

The latest research seems to confirm that grains are connected to these afflictions. Also implicated are sugars and certain food additives such as fructose. The Mayo Clinic released a study this year that stated that a high carbohydrate diet is 3.6 times more likely to lead to cognitive disorders than low carb diets. What may seem odd is that a diet higher in fats was 42% less likely to lead to these disorders than diets low in fat.

Dr. David Perlmutter is a neurologist and president of the Perlmutter health center in Florida. He is the author of a recent book called “Grain Brain: The Surprising Truth about Wheat, Carbs, and Sugar-Your Brain’s Silent Killers.” This book describes in detail the effects of grains and its relationship to cognitive disorders.

There is growing evidence that Alzheimer’s may be a third type of diabetes. All of this is particularly disturbing considering the average U.S. diet is over 60% carbs.

Now none of this is written in stone. There are many different studies, different doctors and certainly different books. However, there is definitely growing new evidence that carb overload is responsible for many different diseases, including obesity, which is a condition in itself.

So if we put it all together we find that there is a huge rise in obesity, a relationship between carbs, grains and disease like diabetes, as well as increasing evidence that other disease like Alzheimer’s seem to be strongly connected to too many carbs.

So you see where this is going. You may think the Paleo diet sounds crazy. Certainly some of its supporters make it seem crazy, but… it is a diet that advocates low carbs, no grains, low sugar and abstaining from foods with preservatives. When you look at much of the latest evidence, you will probably come to the conclusion that it is not so crazy after all. Chances are good that in the near future you will see more evidence online, on television or in magazines or newspapers to make you think again about Paleo. Add to all of this the testimonials and success that people are having with Paleo.

Paleo is not only about losing weight. It is about feeling better and enjoying your life more. It’s about decreasing your chances of acquiring terrible diseases and disorders. Keep an eye out for more news about research about diet and disease, and most likely you will at one point or another, think about giving Paleo a serious try.

I'm sure you're aware that there are many things that can damage your brain: for example, illness, accidents, injuries, toxins, infections, and medications.

But did you know that toxic relationships, stress, dissatisfaction with your job, loneliness, fear or a high level of anxiety, and depression are all factors that can damage your brain as well as your body? Your mind influences your mental health as well as your physical health.

The mind and the body are not separate. They work together to help you survive. In other words, a healthy mind equals a healthy body.

Does this topic seem a bit scary?

It shouldn't be. Reading this article will help you to learn more how to improve your overall health, both physical and mental. But before you can accomplish this, you have to start paying attention to your brain. Why? Because everything starts and ends with it.

The first thing to remember is this: Don't think "sick" if you don't want to get sick!

How many people pay attention to the connection between their illness and their unsatisfying or abusive relationships, chronic stress, or fear?

How often has your physician expressed an interest in your present relationships, your social life, your stress level, your fears, or your anxiety? Not much, or perhaps not at all? I understand.

The mind-body connection works, but many medical professionals ignore the knowledge and teachings to be gained from an alternative, non-traditional, holistic, Eastern approach to medical problems. Even worse is the fact that some of them don't believe in the placebo effect or spontaneous remission, which is defined as "a temporary or permanent decrease of manifestations of a disease." ( http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/remission ).

A pill won't save your marriage or reduce your stress, but understanding what's going on in your life can save your relationship, reduce your stress, or even heal your illness.

Problems at home (relationships, spouse, job, kids, financial situation) are actually chronic stress, which negatively influences the immune, metabolic, and cardiovascular systems. Ultimately, it will attack the brain, causing changes to the brain structure. These changes, which result in impaired function, causing problems with memory, decision making, concentration, orientation, and reasoning, are also associated with dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

It's important to remember, however, that you are the one in control of your health.

Consider the field of epigenetics. The term refers to "external modifications to DNA that turn genes" on "or" off "( http://www.livescience.com/37703-epigenetics.html ). Your genes are not fixed; rather, they are influenced by your environment, nutrition, exercise, social life, positive or negative thoughts, and your emotions.

When you accept a fact that changes your thoughts, emotions, and behavior, you are changing your internal chemistry, either for good or for bad. When these changes occur, you can clearly see the relationship between the mind and the body.

In terms of your health, your mind has only two options: to make you well or to make you sick.

Change your thoughts and your behaviors for the better, and you'll also change your biochemistry for the better.

Your thoughts could be your medicine, if you know how to properly address the cause of the illness. Sometimes, however, even medicine can't logically explain everything, such as phenomena like spontaneous remission or the placebo effect.

You need to keep your hopes high and believe that you can heal yourself … just by the ways in which you think and behave.

What you believe is manifested in your body. And what is manifested in your body affects your mind. Make no mistake: The connection between your brain and your body is a strong one. Now it's up to you to make it a good one.

This might seem to be the wrong word to use to describe the act of cleaning the brain of the input of years of directive thoughts. From the first days of life one is directed by what the world wants you to do or be. Even in the crib there is input from parents and others and the noise of the world, that drifts uncontrollably into it. Music, commercials, adult talk, and above all religious convictions work to rob you of the power to be yourself.

Over the years the input increases with learning during school years, peer pressure which takes its toll, the influence of celebrities, and the media. In today’s world the television is drifting into the background as smart phones replace it for entertainment.

How much, therefore, is anyone’s brain part of their own psyche? Are we not a product of the world? People from the same locations usually speak of the same things as evidence that they are ‘controlled’ by their environment. Naturally what affects one in a society usually affects all. But does it have to be? Can one think unique thoughts and be accepted?

Society is ruled by fear and that usually involves dismissing anyone who appears different. Be that in thought, mood, or deed. Leaving aside race, creed, and colour an honest person will know what this is asking them to do. Strip away the need for outside influence and think beyond the norm.

Turn off the television, shut out the music, refuse the noise of the world and think from within. Let the thoughts flow and the purity of them be your truth. This is an exercise many do on a daily basis by meditating. But what happens if you do it constantly all day long.

Following my reincarnation my mind was focused on a job ahead. Listening to what the world has to say and taking part in it as much as possible the learning experience was profound. The Universal Spirit, the real God, spoke to me inside and asked me to remove the wall of deceit before its people.

That wall is composed of the dreams and thoughts of others that have poured out like cement to mortar together the bricks of ancestral practices. What was laid down then has become the rocks of the establishment.

To make people conform organisations learned the tricks of brain-washing from a young age and how to channel the pathway before us into something that best suits them. Layer after layer of the same was added until the wall has become too high, wide, and deep for anyone to penetrate.

What this has done is to put people off trying to think for themselves. They tamper with new ideas and dismiss them as being too against the establishment to be worthwhile. That is how humans have become sheep-like in their behaviour. Unless they have a leader to follow who can take the blame if something goes wrong they shrink back into their shell.

It takes confidence and will-power to stand up and declare something as far out as memory of reincarnation or a link to the Spirit when one knows that this is against what others believe. But how do you know? Since my work began it has been an amazing journey to discover how many are seeking answers that cannot be satisfied by the world’s standards.

When relating my experience of reincarnation and link to the Spirit many have remarked that this is a brave thing to do. It went over my head, however, as I think of it as a natural thing and one that people need to know.

The question is how many are on the cusp of washing their brains of the input of the years of their life and accepting knowledge and power from something they never expected. The Spirit has been waiting for its people to cotton on to the things written here and to turn from the false gods and worldly noise and ask for the link to be restored. When that happens they receive healing power and peace. That is the reality that follows.

Want to make money from your writing? Many writers find that they freeze when they attempt this. If this is happening to you, you can overcome it very easily if you focus on training your writing brain.

These five tips will help.

1. For Whom Are You Writing?

Start by thinking about your readers. Nothing you write will ever be for “everyone.” Your writing is always for a specific audience.

When someone hires you to write, they’ll tell you who the audience is, and what to write. This is good practice at training your brain. However, before you’re hired, you’ll need to come up with ideas of your own.

Creating a blog, and blogging regularly, is the best thing you can do if you’re new to writing for money. Study top blogs. These blogs are always for a specific audience. They know their audience well — and they strive to know their audience better constantly.

Once you realize that everything you write is FOR a specific group of readers, you’ve made a huge step forward.

2. Study What Your Readers Read

Now you know for whom you’re writing, study what these people read. For example, let’s say that you’ve decided to write about weight loss. You know this audience well. You’ve either lost weight successfully, or you want to lose weight.

The easiest way to discover what this audience reads is to read magazines targeted at dieters. You can also read a couple of the many online forums for dieters. Over a week or two, you’ll understand the audience much better.

Don’t stop there, however. Train yourself to write for this audience. Dieting for weight loss is a billion dollar industry, so no time you spend on this is ever wasted. Get some writing jobs writing for this audience. At this stage, while you’re training yourself, your goal isn’t to make huge sums. This is practice.

3. Train Yourself to Come up With Suitable Ideas

I’ve made a practice of “idea catching” for many years. Every day, I train myself to come up with five ideas. Each year, I’ve “caught” 1,800 ideas. This has not only fueled my writing, it’s also trained my brain to think in terms of audiences and ideas.

Try it — come up with five ideas every day. You may never use all of these ideas, that’s fine.

4. Be Patient: Your Ideas and Writing Will Improve With Every Word You Write

Patience needs to be your watch word when you’re writing for money. The difference between a writer who makes two cents a word and a writer who makes a dollar a word is patience. The writer who makes a top income was patient. He knows that his ideas and his writing improve every day, because he’s training his writing brain.

Many of us are obsessed about what is in what we eat. We spend a good amount of time at the cereals aisle of the supermarket, comparing boxes and reading the nutritional labels. Normally, we’d go for the box which has the longer list, because it makes the cereal look and sound “more” nutrient-filled. If you are one of those people, kudos! You are well aware of your body’s needs. However, it is equally important to feed your brain right, as it is after all, your ‘central processing unit’. The brain, being the center of our nervous system, requires high-quality nutrients for it to function at its best. Here are a few of what you can look for in nutritional labels to ensure your brain’s optimum processes. Fortunately, many of these are also available as dietary supplements.

A. Electrolytes

Electrolytes, which are crucial for conducting electricity in the body, come in the form of minerals such as sodium, chloride, magnesium, potassium and the like. The wellness and ability of nerves to send electric signals depend greatly on the presence, and balance of these electrolytes. For instance, too much salt (sodium) and very less potassium in the body can result in the body’s slow reaction to signals. Because an excessive intake of salt in the body can be detrimental to all its functions, it is best to choose natural, unprocessed foods over sodium and preservative-laden foods. Simply put, the amount of salt in canned meat, preserved vegetables, and processed dairy is too much compared to fresh meat, vegetables and fruits. To flavor these, a little table salt to taste proves to be sufficient.

B. Choline

Choline has always been an important part of the diet especially for pregnant women, and children in their early development. Like folic acid, it has been proven to be an essential nutrient that is needed for brain development in fetuses. Human milk has high levels of this nutrient. This is why breastfeeding is encouraged, especially because brain development is most crucial and active within the first few years of life. Recent researches have also been entertaining the possibility that choline may also be crucial in preventing age related memory loss. Choline is readily available in many natural foods, like whole eggs, beef liver, tofu, peanuts, almonds, spinach and cauliflowers. For people who eat very less of these, food supplements with Choline are also popular in the market.

C. B Vitamins

Vitamins B1, B2, B6 and B12 are all crucial for brain and nerve function. B1 and B2 assist in the release of glucose into the bloodstream, so that neurons are not “overwhelmed” by too much sugar in the brain. They also help greatly in maintaining and bettering memory. People with low levels of B2 in the body have shown signs of dementia. Vitamin B6 helps in the transportation of essential amino acids to the brain. Vitamin B12 assists in the brain’s utilization of the body’s carbohydrates and proteins. It also protects the nerve cells by helping the production of the myelin sheath. Deficiency of Vitamin B12 has been linked to dementia and depression. Because these conditions are mostly present in the elder generation, elder people are encouraged to increase intake of foods with high levels of the B Vitamins.

D. Antioxidants

Antioxidants are not only beneficial to the brain, but to the entire body as well. They come in the form of Vitamins C and E, which are found in great amounts in the brain and nerves. The brain cells are vulnerable to free radicals because they are made up mostly of unsaturated fat. Free radicals are generally dangerous to the body. They are believed to be the culprits of life – threatening diseases such as cancer. However, when they combine with Vitamin C, these free radicals are neutralized and will no longer pose harm. A daily dose of 500 to 1,500 mg of Vitamin C, and 400 to 800 IU of Vitamin E is recommended for the body and brain’s overall wellness. Because excessive Vitamin C is simply released from the body through the urinary system, taking too much won’t be a concern.
