- Cure Your Eating Disorder With The Power Of Neuroplasticity: 5 Crucial Steps
By: Irina Webster | - Neuroplasticity is the ability of the human brain to change itself based on how we live our lives. Our brain consists of cells or neurons that are interconnected.

- Build A Better Brain: Brain Fitness Tips
By: Alex Colket | - In a way, your mind is like a child, and as its parent, you are in charge of its development and well-being. As is the case with most parenting, some people do this well while others do it poorly. Because the brain is so powerful, it's sometimes easy to step away from the wheel and cruise through life on auto-pilot, but to do so is to do yourself injustice. History shows that the human species has produced a host of incredible people, and that most of them were of their own making. Each of ou ...

- Web's Best Typing Tests
By: Alex Colket | - Most of the typing tests to be found on the web are all variations on the same theme, simple apps where you are asked to type a paragraph and are then provided with your WPM (words-per-minute) typing speed.

- Teaching An Old Dog New Tricks: How To Renew An Aging Brain
By: Bianca Tora | - We know that care of the brain is essential for the grandkids. What about us--the almost or over sixtysomethings? What goes for the little ones goes for us as well!
My mother used to say that her brain was stuck in cement. She could never learn as quickly as we (the children) did because her brain had hardened with age. This assumption about the brain has been tossed aside as another urban legend down the dust. New research shows that neuroplasticity is a feature of all brains, yo ...

- Brain Fitness Center For Mental Health Fitness And Recovery
By: Amit Raghuvanshi | - Old notions that brain function inevitably declines as we age and we become less creative and sharp are being turned upside down. In fact, the brain continues to reorganize throughout life by creating new connections between brain cells, or neurons, a phenomenon called neuroplasticity. Brain fitness has become a hot new phrase. Now we can apply it to healthy aging, and recovery from illness and addiction. The urge for expression, for purpose and for creative solutions doesn't ebb with age, but i ...

- Eating Disorders Are The Reverse Side Of The Child Obesity Campaign

What we are alluding to is the brains ability to reorganise or rewire its neuronal pathways that has lead to certain wanted or unwanted actions or behaviours. For example, ...

- Pain, Pain, Go Away! Don't Come Back Another Day!
By: John Scott | - One of the strange things about writing is working out what we take for granted. The problem is judging how much to explain. Sometimes, we explain everything as in the "for dummies" series of books. That's everything you didn't know about most things in big yellow packages. So here I am writing about ultram as the best painkiller, and then I realized I might be assuming that everyone knows all there is to know about pain other than it hurts, of course. To fill in the gaps, I therefore o ...

- Quantum Physics: The Discovery That Scientifically Demolished Materialism
By: Harun Yahya | - The quantum model of universe is an attempt to purge the Big Bang of its creationist implications. Supporters of this model base it on the observations of quantum (subatomic) physics. In quantum physics, it is to be observed that subatomic particles appear and disappear spontaneously in a vacuum. Interpreting this observation as matter can originate at quantum level, this is a property pertaining to matter, some physicists try to explain the origination of matter from non-existence during the cr ...
