Mental Exercises: Fantastic Voyage - Chapt 18
Your Brain: the Power of Thinking . . . and of Ideas
Adapted from Chapter Eighteen of Fantastic Voyage
Ray & Terry recommend optimizing your mental functioning today
while you dramatically slow down brain aging and other disease processes.
Eventually, technological advances promise to ultimately stop and
reverse most causes of mental aging and decline. Ultimately, technology
will enable us to vastly expand our mental capabilities through
an intimate merger with powerful forms of nonbiological intelligence.
Mouse experiments have shown that regular exposure to new experiences
results in a dramatic increase in new neuron formation. You can
even "bulk up" your brain by doing exercise. Brain Ready

that maintaining intellectual activity throughout life can protect
against cognitive decline in later years. Ray & Terry highlight
several points to maintain optimum cognitive function:
- “Use it or Lose it” – Keep you brain active
throughout life.
- Avoid Substance Abuse
- Lifestyle Choices for Brain Health – Proper diet, active
lifestyle, stress management, adequate sleep and targeted nutritional
supplementation are all important.
- “Smart” Nutrients – A number of nutrients
have been shown to assist in maintenance of brain function. Ray
& Terry's Memory Support contains a special blend of nutrients
that work synergistically to promote alertness and memory, and
to support a healthy mind.
