UCLA on Alzheimer’s Disease. SO INFORMATIVE.

February 27, 2012 By shannon Leave a Comment

Food for Thought

Excerpted from Jean Carper’s newest book:
100 Simple Things You Can Do to Prevent Alzheimer’s

“The idea that Alzheimer’s is entirely genetic and unpreventable is perhaps the
greatest misconception about the disease,” says Gary Small, M.D., director of
the UCLA Center on Aging. Researchers now know that Alzheimer’s, like heart
disease and cancer, develops over decades and can be influenced by lifestyle
factors including cholesterol, blood pressure, obesity, depression, education,
nutrition, sleep and mental, physical and social activity.

The big news: Mountains of research reveals that simple things you do every day might cut your odds of losing your mind to Alzheimer’s.
In search of scientific ways to delay and outlive Alzheimer’s and other
dementias, I tracked down thousands of studies and interviewed dozens of
experts. The results in a new book: 100 Simple Things You Can Do to
Prevent Alzheimer’s and Age-Related Memory Loss (Little, Brown; $19.99).
Here are 10 strategies I found most surprising.

1. Have coffee. In an amazing flip-flop, coffee is the new brain tonic. A large
European study showed that drinking three to five cups of coffee a day in
midlife cut Alzheimer’s risk 65% in late life. University of South Florida
researcher Gary Arendash credits caffeine: He says it reduces dementia-causing amyloid in animal brains. Others credit coffee’s antioxidants. So drink up, Arendash advises, unless your doctor says you shouldn’t.

2. Floss. Oddly, the health of your teeth and gums can help predict dementia. University of Southern California research found that having periodontal disease before age 35 quadrupled the odds of dementia years later. Older people with tooth and gum disease score lower on memory and cognition tests, other studies show. Experts speculate that inflammation in diseased mouths migrates to the brain.

3.Google. Doing an online search can stimulate your aging brain even more than reading a book, says UCLA’s Gary Small, who used brain MRIs to prove it. The biggest surprise: Novice Internet surfers, ages 55 to 78, activated key memory and learning centers in the brain after only a week of Web surfing for an hour a day.

4. Grow new brain cells. Impossible, scientists used to say. Now it’s believed that thousands of brain cells are born daily. The trick is to keep the newborns
alive. What works: aerobic exercise (such as a brisk 30-minute walk every day), strenuous mental activity, eating salmon and other fatty fish, and avoiding obesity, chronic stress, sleep deprivation, heavy drinking and vitamin B deficiency.

5. Drink apple juice. Apple juice can push production of the “memory chemical” acetylcholine; that’s the way the popular Alzheimer’s drug Aricept works, says
Thomas Shea, Ph.D., of the University of Massachusetts. He was surprised that old mice given apple juice did better on learning and memory tests than mice that received water. A dose for humans: 16 ounces, or two to three apples a day.

6. Protect your head. Blows to the head, even mild ones early in life, increase odds of dementia years later. Pro football players have 19 times the typical rate of memory-related diseases. Alzheimer’s is four times more common in elderly who suffer a head injury, Columbia University finds. Accidental falls doubled an older person’s odds of dementia five years later in another study. Wear seat belts and helmets, fall-proof your house, and don’t take risks.

7. Meditate. Brain scans show that people who meditate regularly have less cognitive decline and brain shrinkage – a classic sign of Alzheimer’s – as they age. Andrew Newberg of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine says yoga meditation of 12 minutes a day for two months improved blood flow and cognitive functioning in seniors with memory problems.

8. Take D. A “severe deficiency” of vitamin D boosts older Americans’ risk of
cognitive impairment 394%, an alarming study by England’s University of Exeter finds. And most Americans lack vitamin D. Experts recommend a daily dose of 800 IU to 2,000 IU of vitamin D3.

9. Fill your brain. It /u>https://brain.it/> ‘s called “cognitive reserve.” A rich accumulation of life experiences – education, marriage, socializing, a stimulating job, language skills, having a purpose in life, physical activity and mentally demanding leisure activities – makes your brain better able to tolerate plaques and tangles. You can even have significant Alzheimer’s pathology and no symptoms of dementia if you have high cognitive reserve, says David Bennett, M.D., of Chicago’s Rush University Medical Center.

10. Avoid infection. Astonishing new evidence ties Alzheimer’s to cold sores, gastric ulcers, Lyme disease, pneumonia and the flu. Ruth Itzhaki, Ph.D., of the University of Manchester in England estimates the cold-sore herpes simplex virus is incriminated in 60% of Alzheimer’s cases. The theory: Infections trigger excessive beta amyloid “gunk” that kills brain cells. Proof is still lacking, but why not avoid common infections and take appropriate vaccines, antibiotics
and antiviral agents?

What to Drink for Good Memory
A great way to keep your aging memory sharp and avoid Alzheimer’s is to drink the right stuff.

a. Tops: Juice. A glass of any fruit or vegetable juice three times a week slashed Alzheimer’s odds 76% in Vanderbilt University research. Especially protective:blueberry, grape and apple juice, say other studies.

b. Tea: Only a cup of black or green tea a week cut rates of cognitive decline in older people by 37%, reports the Alzheimer’s Association. Only brewed tea works. Skip bottled tea, which is devoid of antioxidants.

c. Caffeine beverages. Surprisingly, caffeine fights memory loss and Alzheimer’s, suggest dozens of studies. Best sources: coffee (one Alzheimer’s researcher drinks five cups a day), tea and chocolate. Beware caffeine if you are pregnant, have high blood pressure, insomnia or anxiety.

d. Red wine: If you drink alcohol, a little red wine is most apt to benefit your
aging brain. It’s high in antioxidants. Limit it to one daily glass for women,
two for men. Excessive alcohol, notably binge drinking, brings on Alzheimer’s.

e. Two to avoid: Sugary soft drinks, especially those sweetened with high fructose corn syrup. They make lab animals dumb. Water with high copper content also can up your odds of Alzheimer’s. Use a water filter that removes excess minerals.

5 Ways to Save Your Kids from Alzheimer’s Now
Alzheimer’s isn’t just a disease that starts in old age. What happens to your
child’s brain seems to have a dramatic impact on his or her likelihood of
Alzheimer’s many decades later.

Here are five things you can do now to help save your child from Alzheimer’s and memory loss later in life, according to the latest research.

1. Prevent head blows: Insist your child wear a helmet during biking, skating,
skiing, baseball, football, hockey, and all contact sports. A major blow as well
as tiny repetitive unnoticed concussions can cause damage, leading to memory loss and Alzheimer’s years later.

2 Encourage language skills: A teenage girl who is a superior writer is eight
times more likely to escape Alzheimer’s in late life than a teen with poor
linguistic skills. Teaching young children to be fluent in two or more languages
makes them less vulnerable to Alzheimer’s.

3. Insist your child go to college: Education is a powerful Alzheimer’s deterrent. The more years of formal schooling, the lower the odds. Most Alzheimer’s prone: teenage drop outs. For each year of education, your risk of dementia drops 11%, says a recent University of Cambridge study.

4. Provide stimulation: Keep your child’s brain busy with physical, mental and
social activities and novel experiences. All these contribute to a bigger,
better functioning brain with more so-called ‘cognitive reserve.’ High cognitive
reserve protects against memory decline and Alzheimer’s.

5. Spare the junk food: Lab animals raised on berries, spinach and high omega-3 fish have great memories in old age. Those overfed sugar, especially high fructose in soft drinks, saturated fat and trans fats become overweight and diabetic, with smaller brains and impaired memories as they age, a prelude to Alzheimer’s.

Explaining Why Meditators May Live Longer

January 12, 2011 By shannon Leave a Comment

By Maia Szalavitz

Original Artical from www.GaryNull.com (location of 1000’s of great articles)

Join The #1 Radio Station for Progressive Minds

The image of the ancient but youthful-looking sage meditating on a mountaintop might be closer to reality than you think, according to a new study that found that after a three-month stay at a meditation retreat, people showed higher levels of an enzyme associated with longevity.

The study is preliminary and didn’t show that meditation actually extends life, but the findings suggest a possible means by which it could.

Researchers led by Tonya Jacobs of the University of California-Davis compared 30 participants at a meditation retreat held at the Shambhala Mountain Center in Colorado with matched controls on a waiting list for the retreat. Participants meditated six hours per day for three months. Their meditation centered on mindfulness — for instance, focusing solely on breathing, in the moment — and on lovingkindness and enhancing compassion towards others. (More on Time.com: Empathy Beats Bullies)

After the three-month intervention, researchers found that the meditators had on average about 30%* more activity of the enzyme telomerase than the controls did. Telomerase is responsible for repairing telomeres, the structures located on the ends chromosomes, which, like the plastic aglets at the tips of shoelaces, prevent the chromosome from unraveling. Each time a cell reproduces, its telomeres become shorter and less effective at protecting the chromosome — this, researchers believe, is a cause of aging. As the chromosome becomes more and more vulnerable, cell copying becomes sloppier and eventually stops when the telomeres disintegrate completely. Telomerase can mitigate — and possibly stop — cell aging.

“Something about being on a retreat for three months changed the [amount of] telomerase in the retreat group,” says Elizabeth Blackburn, a study author who has won a Nobel Prize for her previous work on telomerase. “We didn’t prove that it was meditation [that caused the change]. A lot of things happened during the retreat. But the interesting thing was that the changes we saw tracked quantifiably with the change in people’s psychological well-being and outlook.” (More on Time.com: Can Meditation Ease Pain?)

In other words, people with higher levels of telomerase also showed more increases in psychological improvement. In retreat participants who showed no psychological change, telomerase levels were not any higher than in controls. (Researchers were unable to compare telomerase levels in the groups both before and after the retreat for logistical reasons.)

“It’s a very good study with interesting results in terms of health implications,” says Alan Marlatt, a professor of psychology at the University of Washington who has studied meditation for decades but was not associated with this research.

Of course, the relationship between health and telomerase is complex. In a recent study in mice by Harvard researchers, they found that boosting levels of telomerase reversed signs of aging, restoring graying fur and fertility, increasing brain size and sharpening scent perception. Too much telomerase activity can also be a problem, however. A cell that reproduces endlessly sounds like a good thing at first — that cell would be immortal. But this is exactly what happens with cancer cells — infinite replication. “If telomerase levels go too far up, that’s [associated with] cancer,” says Clifford Saron, associate research scientist at the University of California-Davis Center for Mind and Brain and a co-author of the new paper. He notes, however, that the difference is one that is orders of magnitude higher—so that meditation could not possibly cause cancer*. (More on Time.com: Want to Eat Less? Imagine Eating More)

So how does meditation affect the machinery of cellular reproduction? Probably by reducing stress, research suggests. Severe psychological stress — particularly early in life and in the absence of social support — has been linked with poorer health, increasing risk for heart disease, stroke and some cancers. This is likely due to the negative effects of high levels of stress hormones on the brain and body. By reducing stress hormones, perhaps meditation contributes to healthier telomeres.

In a study published a few years ago in Lancet Oncology, researchers compared 30 men before and after adopting lifestyle changes following a diagnosis of low-risk prostate cancer. The patients started meditating, switched to a healthy plant-based diet, exercised and attended a support group. Like the new study, the Lancet Oncology paper found increases in telomerase linked with reduced psychological distress.

“The mind has a big influence on the body. If you get anxious, your heart beats faster and your stomach churns,” says Blackburn. “But we don’t know yet [if meditation is linked to] a reduction in stress hormones. The physiology is very complex.”

Recent evidence supports a connection: a study published this month in the Archives of General Psychiatry showed that mindfulness meditation can reduce relapse in patients who recovered from depression just as well as antidepressants. (More on Time.com: Is a Wandering Mind an Unhappy One?)

Of course, the increases in telomerase seen in the current study could be due to some other unknown factor that separates the meditators from the controls. That’s another reason why it’s too early to suggest that stress-reducing mind-body interventions like meditation be prescribed as a treatment for any diseases or disorders. The study also did not show that meditation actually extends life, only that it may increase the activity of an enzyme that is associated with longevity.

Still, research on meditation is expanding dramatically, with studies finding it helpful for pain, depression, addiction and many other conditions. “There’s a very exciting dialogue going on,” Marlatt says of the research. “It works for many different kinds of clinical problems. It’s very promising.”

That noise you hear in the background? Millions of new meditators chanting, “Om.”

Creating an Intentional Year!

December 26, 2010 By shannon Leave a Comment

It is the time of the year again to celebrate successes and milestone, while setting our intentions for next year.

My experience has been that you will find that these types of intentions reflect your true desires more than setting specific targets for sales or income, more than determining how many pounds you will lose or some other thing you don’t like about yourself that you wish you had the motivation to overcome.

When you begin to focus on the type of person you want to be, your motivation is so much more real than just setting targets to attain. When you focus on your contribution to the world rather than changing the specifics of your situation to be easier and more fun, you begin to focus in ways that don’t feel like chores, rather they feel like gifts you are giving yourself and others.

BE THE TYPE OF PERSON who lives a healthy life.

BE THE TYPE OF PERSON who contributes to others.

BE THE TYPE OF PERSON who does the things you find challenging before doing what’s fun.

BE THE TYPE OF PERSON who focuses on the area that is weakest and builds it up so that all the other areas of your life benefit in the process.

BE THE TYPE OF PERSON who cares, who listens, who thinks and grows.

BE THE TYPE OF PERSON who is other focused rather than self centered.

BECOME THE TYPE OF PERSON you admire.

Organic Gardening Tips

December 17, 2010 By shannon Leave a Comment

1. If you can not use finished compost for a while, cover the pile with a tarp to avoid leaching the nutrients out of the compost.
2. Companion planting is an excellent way to improve your garden. Some plants replenish nutrients lost by another one, and some combinations effectively keep pests away.
3. Dry your herbs at the end of the summer by tying sprigs together to form small bunches. Tie them together with a rubber band and hang, tips down, in a dry place out of the sun. Keep the bunches small to ensure even circulation. Store dry in labeled canning jars, either whole or crumbled. Freezing is also a good way to preserve herbs.
4. Water in the morning to help avoid powdery mildew and other fungal diseases that are often spread by high humidity.
5. The longer the growing season, the more compost is needed in the soil. A longer growing season requires more nutrients and organic matter in the soil.
6. Coffee grounds make excellent mulch around acid-loving plants.
7. Attract ladybugs to your garden with nectar-producing plants such as parsley, dill, and fennel.
8. In general, thinner leaved plants need more water to stay alive, thicker leaved plants need less.
9. Make compost tea by mixing equal parts compost and water and let it sit. Pour this liquid directly onto the soil around healthy, growing plants. Dilute this to 4 parts water to 1 part compost for use on smaller seedlings. Any compost that has not gone into solution can be used to make more tea or used in your garden.
10. New beds require plenty of compost, soil amendments and double digging for that extra kick.
11. Keep dirt off lettuce and cabbage leaves when growing by spreading a 1-2 inch layer of mulch (untreated by pesticides or fertilizers) around each plant. This also helps keep the weeds down.
12. Bats are a great form of natural pest control. Many in North America feed exclusively on insects and eat more than birds and bug zappers combined.
13. Milk jugs, soda bottles and other plastic containers make great mini-covers to place over your plants and protect them from frost.
14. Less than 2 percent of the insects in the world are harmful. Most are beneficial.
15. Pinching off flowers frequently encourage most annuals to flower more abundantly.
16. Avoid using railroad ties in or around your vegetable garden; the chemicals used as preservatives are now thought to be toxic and harmful.
17. When watering, try to water deeply and thoroughly. Frequent, shallow waterings train your plants to keep their roots near the surface, making them less hardy and more likely to suffer when deprived of water.
18. Rotate your crops each year to help reduce pest and disease problems, as well as correct nutrient deficiencies and excesses.
19. Pest management begins with healthy soil. It produces healthy plants, which are better able to withstand disease and insect damage.
20. Diatomaceous earth makes an excellent organic insecticide – it is an abrasive white powder used to damage the cuticle, skin and joints of insects. It also makes an excellent slug barrier.
21. Botanical insecticides are plant derivatives, and can be more toxic than some synthetics. They are, however, better in the long run because they break down rapidly and do not accumulate in the food chain as synthetics do.
22. Once a seed sprouts it must be kept watered. If it dries out, it dies. If seeds are lightly covered with soil, they may need to be gently sprinkled with water once or twice a day to keep them moist.
23. Earthworms are extremely beneficial to the soil and plants, increasing air space in the soil and leaving behind worm castings. Do everything you can to encourage earthworms in your soil.
24. A garden soil that has been well mulched and amended periodically requires only about a 1 inch layer of compost yearly to maintain its quality.
25. For an organic approach to pest control, build up your soil to encourage healthy microbes and other soil microorganisms, and earthworms. Healthy soil means healthy plants that are better able to resist pests and disease, thus reducing the need for harmful pesticides.

Get Your Mind * BLOWN *

August 7, 2010 By shannon Leave a Comment

Hi Conscious Living Partners and friends,

Throughout the years with Conscious Living Partnership, Expo of Heart and all the beautiful relationships and groups that I’ve been involved with, I’m not exactly a newbee when it comes to alternative energy, consciousness and cutting edge technologies.

There is something that was just demonstrated to me and I * FINALLY * got what my friend has been mentioning to me for the loooooongest time!

You probably have heard about some wild and crazy different energy machines that are supposed to make more energy than what it takes to run them. I know – you’re probably thinking that’s what all the “perpetual motion nuts” are talking about and it is supposed to be impossible because it violates the laws of physics.

Well, I just had one of the most powerful distinctions I’ve ever heard about explained to me by my friend Aaron Murakami and I almost can’t believe it is this easy. Not only is it possible for a machine to make more electricity than it takes to run it, and it has * ABSOLUTELY NOTHING * to do with perpetual motion.

AND… what Aaron shared with me describes the most common sense explanation of how the physics of abundance in the universe actually works. I live with a mindset of abundance and believe the universe provides but up until now, I have never had one very specific distinction spelled out to me by any book, course, video, audio, seminar or expert like what Aaron shared.

It completely legitimizes the entire law of attraction by showing the natural principle that allows it to work. You probably know as well as I do that the law of attraction does indeed work but do you realize that if you believe what the physics books teaches that it actually is supposed to violate the laws of physics as they teach it in schools.

So essentially, it is very incongruent and contradictory to believe in the law of attraction and abundance while at the same time we accept what is told to us about not being able to have machines that can produce more electricity or mechanical work than it takes to run them.

With the very simple and actually common sense principles that Aaron shares, we can have our cake and eat it too. We can see that not only can we have lives of abundance, we can have machines, organization, businesses and virtually any system we can think of be able to produce more than what we put in. I found that the physics of energy producing machines are identical to the physics of consciousness, business systems, abundance, biology as well as EVERY natural system in the Universe.

He explains all of this in his book The Quantum Key. There are some technical parts of the book but the concept I mention above is spelled out in very simple terms. You can read his bio and also see some video interviews of him on this page: https://www.consciouslivingpartnership.com/aaronmurakami

With Love,

My first session of Dr Gary Null’s Health Support Group

July 8, 2010 By shannon Leave a Comment

Last Monday night was the launch of our local Gary Null, PhD Health Support Group. A couple of months ago, I was invited to facilitate as a Life Coach and Wellness Consultant.

I had no idea that everything in my past would lead me up to this moment in time. My years of experience with business, event promotion, coaching and even health. I have been reminiscing about my past experience with Equinox International and Conscious Living Partnership which brings me to this point with confidence and certainty.

This is a powerful lifestyle modification program that individuals can join at any point, to get a baseline of their health, learn directly from Dr. Null and through different lifestyle choices….experience shifts and changes in our lives.

One of the challenges with learning new things is the process of self actualization. We go to seminars get all “jacked ?!?!?!?!(HYPED UP)?!?!?! up” and don’t always make the changes. It is process of implementation that becomes difficult. This is why having a coach or team is so powerful. They help hold me accountable! So I am thrilled to have this health support group. We have 2 Medical Doctors, a Registered Nurse and other health experts that are participating. It was magical to see the resources and support that everyone has contributed.

I have been really lazy and in denial of my potential and health. I can talk the talk but not always walk the walk. This week we watched “7 Steps to Perfect Health” (which you can purchase for only $16) then we completed a 9 page questionaire and took our measurements, blood pressure and more.

What an amazing “Ah Ha moment” the questionaire was for me!

Let me share with you some of the questions….

Do you believe that lifestyle changes can have an impact on your lifespan?

Are you prepared to make changes in your lifestyle that may increase your lifespan?

How many times to you wash your hands?

How many vacations (4 or more days) do you take in a year?

Do you nap during the day on a regular basis?

Of the people in your life that have hurt you, what percentage have you forgiven?

How many minutes in an average day do you take for self-reflection, mediation or breath-work?

Here are just a few from the 9 pages. I think everyone could benefit from this questionaire. It really help me get in touch with myself at a deeper level. I found myself thinking about things I want to change like my gray hair, weak nails and such!

I am so honored and blessed to be leading this group. I get to really experience first hand the changes.

This week the protocol is:

Journaling, juicing celery, cucumber and apples, eating only what gives my body energy or healing, doing 1-2 hours exercise and powerwalking everyday, drink one glass red and one glass green stuff and protein drink (Gary’s world famous powder drinks).

Over 30 health reasons to Eat Watermelon!

July 1, 2010 By shannon Leave a Comment

I am really excited to learn more about health and nutrition right now as I am diving into the Gary Null Health Support Group Protocol. Last year, when I did the month retreat with Dr Null every Sunday was a watermelon fast. And the last time I was visiting Paradise Garden we ate watermelon everyday. I continue to eat as much as possible and thought I would share this great article I found on some of the benefits.

Partners in Health,
Shannon Burnett
Life Coach & Wellness Consultant

P.S. Our local health support group has two projects we are working with to help our community! One is our community organic garden and the other is helping homeless. Join us….by buying a watermelon today and give it to someone in transistion or homeless. Read below….all the gifts you are giving them.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF WATERMELON from OrganicFacts.net

The health benefits of water melon include kidney disorders, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart care, heat stroke, macular degeneration, impotence, etc.

What’s so much the fuss about this Water Melon? Isn’t it nothing more than a ball full of water? Okay! I know there cannot be a more refreshing thing than a big, chilled wedge of water melon in tropical summers and it sports a stylish scientific name of Citrullus Lanatus. But then there are others too. So, what’s special about it? I am afraid, there are lots of them.

How about having a refreshing glimpse of them? Given below are some health benefits of water melon:

Kidney Disorders: Water Melon contains a lot of potassium, which is very helpful in cleaning or washing off the toxic depositions in the kidneys. Moreover, it is helpful in reducing concentration of uric acid in the blood, thereby reducing the chances of kidney damages and formation of renal calculi in it. Added to these, being high in water content, it induces frequent urinating, which is again helpful for cleaning of kidneys. Also, the anti oxidants present in ensure good health of kidneys for a long.

My Personal Invitation and Transformation

June 6, 2010 By shannon Leave a Comment

I wanted to personally share why I think this is the most valuable and important event I have ever produced. Last November I was selected to be in a documentary film that was a month long retreat/bootcamp produced by Gary Null, PhD. Little did I know this retreat would transform my life forever.

When I went there I didn’t realize the I had a number of personal roadblocks that affected my health, business and family life, on top of the crisis I was experiencing with the economy. Dr. Null’s work has taken me to new levels to live and think in the most authentic way. My health has taken a quantum leap and I can now say, do not need surgery as suggested back in 2009.

As a bonus, my extra weight has fallen away.

Not only has Dr. Null written 100 books, produced 100 films, been named “The New Mr Natural” by Time Magazine and been awarded documentarian and environmentalist – for decades he has worked selflessly on behalf of humanity, our physical and emotional health, the homeless and our environment.

The millions of people, who know of Dr. Null, consider him an iconic leader who has made huge shifts in the world on our behalf. I feel so very blessed that we have been able to have him come to our area.

In alignment with the subject of his new film “LOVE” (which we will be showing and he will include in his talk), I would love it if we could use this also as an opportunity to reconnect with old friends and make new connections. Let’s come together as a community that makes a positive difference in the world. Let’s celebrate and reconnect with each other.
