Muscle Head. Your brain is like a muscle. Without proper exercise and use it can atrophy, or at least not perform well when you need it to. In fact, as you age you may not need your body’s muscles to be as strong as they were when you were younger but you will probably need your brain to stay sharp as the pace and complexity of modern life increases the demand on your brain for quick thinking, a strong memory, a clear mind and the energy to stay focused when you need to.
A working muscle also needs proper nutrition. Both your body’s muscles and your brain need glucose and oxygen to stay fit and healthy. However, your brain has additional needs since it’s incredibly more energy demanding, yet more vulnerable to “junk food” than your body. So, sooner or later you need to learn what to feed your head, and what not to feed it. Why not start learning about it right now?
 Last but certainly not least is your brain muscle’s need for rest and relaxation. If you worked your body’s muscles as long and hard as you worked your brain, you’d be in a constant state of exhaustion. But, your over-worked brain keeps on chugging, even while you’re asleep. And, guess what? Your brain rarely gets a chance to discharge its accumulated stress during sleep, even if you consistently get a good night’s sleep!
So your brain really needs a little more R&R, which of course you must commit to giving it, especially after you learn the fast and effective “Neuro-Nap” technique divulged in our medically acclaimed book, "20/20 Brain Power".
Feed your head. Your brain has unique essential nutritional needs that you may not be giving it enough of. That’s why we created a line of unique brain health and fitness supplements, Procera AVH™, Ceraplex™ and Omega-3 DHA, to serve the daily needs of your brain (including help for the accumulated damage of previous lifestyle excesses and neglect of your brain’s needs).
Use it or lose it. As we read in the press almost every day, mental stimulation and brain exercise are vitally important to keep your brain young, healthy and fit for a demanding lifestyle. The highly informative yet easy reading book, 20/20 Brain Power also reveals several fun yet effective brain exercises that quickly energize your brain for greatly improved focus, clarity and thinking.
Although your brain weighs only 3lbs., or approximately 2% of your total weight, it can consume up to half the energy requirements of your body. Your constantly hungry brain is almost 10 times more metabolically active than your body. Feed your brain what it needs and, as the master organ in charge of running the whole show, it will take care of the needs of your mind and body.
In other words, when you sit down for a meal, think about what you’re going to feed your head not your stomach.
- reducing if not avoiding brain harmful substances (e.g., trans fatty acids)
- increasing intake of brain essential nutrients (best available as a mix of the right foods and certain brain essential nutritional supplements)
- achieving the proper balance of carbs, fat and protein so that you can optimize your brain performance, during the day, and unwind and relax at night..
The 20/20 Brain Power book offers you the nutritional guidelines you need to adequately feed and nourish your brain. This includes brain essential proteins, or amino acids, carbohydrates and fats, as well as what ratio and order to have them in at each meal. For instance, did you know that if you start your day with carbs, you will probably doom your brain to the low energy doldrums for the rest of the day. However, if you have protein first at your evening meal you will be setting your brain up to be wired for the night.
So, we teach you what foods to eat when at each meal so that you can be at peak performance during the day, yet able to relax and sleep in the evening (unless of course, you’re trying to pull an all-nighter!
Ever wonder why you often feel thick headed, suffer from brain fog, energy crashes and fuzzy focus? It’s simple - your hyperactive brain is not getting the steady supply of energy nutrients it needs.
Procera AVH™ provides the brain essential nutrients and key neurotransmitters it needs to stay sharp, alert and focused.
Procera also helps to increase brain blood flow, oxygen and glucose to give you the mental clarity, acuity and energy you need to stay on top and in control of your busy life throughout the day.
Your brain works just like a muscle. With proper stimulation it can stay fit and healthy for a long time.
Quite a few years ago exercise scientists discovered that the average person’s daily use of their muscles wasn’t enough to keep their heart and body strong and healthy. Of course, it’s now known that physical exercise is most important for a healthy brain, heart and body.
Recently it’s been proven that the brain also needs exercise, or stimulation above and beyond its average daily use. In fact, the level of stimulating, but not stressful mental activity in mid life predicts the probability of brain health or brain disease, or dementia later in life.
Many forms of mental stimulation have been shown to be helpful, including challenging card games, cross word puzzles, chess, and learning a new language or computer program. Even playing certain popular computer games has recently been shown to actually enhance cognitive performance.
The author and creator of the 20/20 Brain Power Book and Program, Joshua Reynolds has developed brain exercise games that have been widely used by both the public and professionals, such as, physicians, psychologists, educators and pro athletes to stimulate their brain to process information faster, thus improving overall mental and physical performance.
 Known as cognitive processing, or brain speed, it’s been demonstrated that the faster the brain’s speed of processing information the better one’s memory, alertness, focus, thinking, reasoning, problem solving and decision making.
In fact, brain speed has been scientifically correlated with IQ, success and even longevity.
20/20 offers fun and easy-to-learn brain games that that can quickly upgrade your brain’s processing powers for a stronger memory, better focus and sharper, quicker thinking.
Your brain takes it all on – the pollutants from your environment, the free radicals and neuro-toxins from your food and lifestyle excesses, and the stress of everyday life.
Most brain’s are highly stressed yet offered little by way of R&R. Sleep for instance, even if deep and sound, does not always adequately discharge stress incurred over the day, let alone the deeper seated accumulated stress of a lifetime.
How often have you had a full night’s sleep and woken up to experience brain fog or a thick-headed feeling?
Scientists have discovered that there is a form of “sleep” that does allow your brain cells to adequately discharge daily stress, even deep seated stress. It’s often referred to as the “alpha state” because of the brainwave frequencies it reflects. Typically you pass through the alpha zone for a few moments when falling a sleep or waking up. Or, when your mind is calm and relaxed.
20/20 gives you a simple technique to experience the release of stress, and the re-charging of your brain cells with vital new energy. It’s called the Alpha Brain Break, and it can take as little as 5-10 minutes to feel as refreshed as a full night’s sleep. |
