The Capacity Of Human-brain & Its Memory Power

                                   The Human Brain 
Human brain is divided into two major parts, the bigger part of the brain known as cerebrum, the left hemisphere and the right hemisphere. Both the brains are located at the upper right and upper left of the cerebrum. 


Old(original) brain is actually the basic equation of genetic factors. It multiplies the division from only 0.23 cm in conceive until more than 10 thousand million of brain cells in the 7th months of pregnancy.
As we grow older, the old brain becomes smaller. Generally, the basic nervous tissues in our brain are the subsidiaries, which are inherited and are only able to do some minor activities such as hoarse cry and making sounds while sleeping. The nerve liaison net will develop quickly during the growing period in babies, infants and juveniles. The old brain is more primitive and it is responsible for some undetectable physiological activities, for example, controlling the body temperature, blood pressure, chemical equilibrium, digestion process, emotion and sub-consciousness. It is also called the “sub-conscious brain” or “lower brain” because of its lower location in the overall brain.



Some people, especially children still possess intuition image, which enables them to remember certain objects even after just giving the object a quick glance. This kind of memory is called “parallel conducted memory” or “overall conducted memory”. This ability to remember can be acquired through training of the right hemisphere of the   brain. Such a kind of memory would require only 1% of our time and energy to remember things in our minds.


However, the left-brain obtains its memory only through a theoretical sequence. Thus it takes longer time to remember. This “contractual conducted memory” causes students to spend longer time in their learning and thus proves to be inefficient.

Since time immemorial, our educational systems have only concentrated on the development of the left-brain; such as reading, writing, calculating, analyzing and logical and theoretical academics. Whereas some training for the right brain such as music, mental arithmetic, art and handicrafts has been ignored says Dr. Robert B. Stone, University of Hawaii.





Imagination ( the utilize of right brain ) is less important than the utilize of left brain according to our present world education policies. The capacity of the left brain has only 10% and the capacity of the right brain has 90%. Scientists have proved that normal human utilize  his/ her 1% to 3% of the left brain during his/her life. That means normal human could not able to utilize his/her 97% to 99% capacity of brain. So, our brains are not useful for ourselves. The written human history is only five thousand years old. During that period only 3% to 5% humans are healthy, wealthy, wise and well- educated or have professional skills because they have been loosing their 90% capacity of the brain. Family background & environment, social & economics conditions etc. are the main important factors behind it.



Therefore we have to pass in our lives than to pass in our examinations because some people have passed in their examinations well but they have failed in their lives. We have to change the five thousand years old human history.



“We have to change the world, we have to begin the work from ourselves."   
Roger Wolcott Sperry ( August 20, 1913 – April 17, 1994 ) was a neuropsychologist, neurobiologist and Nobel laureate. He won the 1981 Nobel Prize In Medicine for his work with split – brain research. Sperry’s research showed that the two hemispheres of the brain control different mental and perceptual functions. According to Dr. Roger Wolcott Sperry –

 “ Indeed a conscious system in its own right, perceiving, thinking, remembering, reasoning, willing and emoting, all at a characteristically human level, and both……the left and the right hemisphere may be conscious simultaneously in different, even in mutually conflicting, mental experiences that run along in parallel ”
                       – Roger Wolcott Sperry,1974  
“ The cells and fibers of the brain must carry some kind of individual identification tags, presumably cytochemical in nature, by which they are distinguished one from another almost, in many reasons,to the level of the single neurons"
                                       - Roger Wolcott Sperry

It is not enough to have a good mind. The main thing is to use it well.
                                                                      - Rene Descartes
"The mathematician John Von Neumann once calculated that the human brain can store up to 280 quintition – that’s 280,000,000,000,000,000,000 – bits of memory."

The body declines with age, the brain does not have to. Yes, we loose brain-cells daily, about two billion by old age, but that leaves 13 billion, which is more than enough.
                                                Sheila Ostrander
Aryesh Routtenberg, of Northwestern University, was the first to discover that the same pathways in the brain that generate producing endorphins are also the centers of memory consolidation.

Case History – Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein was nominated as the greatest creative genius of the 20th century. However, he was a poor student, preferring day-dreaming to studying, and was eventually expelled from school for being a ‘disruptive influence’.
As a teenager he became inspired by the imaginative side of mathematics and physics, and was equally interested by the work of Michelangelo, whom he studied in depth. These mutual interests encouraged him to play even further with his imagination, and he developed his now-famous ‘ Creative Mind Games’ in which he posed himself an intriguing question, and then allowed his imagination to run riot.
In one of his most famous Creative Mind Games, Einstein imagined that he was on the surface of the sun, grabbing a sunbeam and traveling directly away from the sun at the speed of light, to the very ends of the universe.
When he came to the “end” of his journey, he noticed to his astonishment that he was roughly back where he had started. This was logically impossible: you don’t go in a straight line forever and end up where you started !
Einstein therefore took another imaginary sunbeam ride from another part of the sun’s surface and again went on a straight-line journey to the end of the universe. Once again he ended up relatively near where he had started.
Slowly the truth dawned on him: his imagination has told him more truths than his logic. If you travel in straight-lines ‘forever’ and continually return to the vicinity of where you started, then ‘forever’ must be at list two things: curved in some way and possessing a boundary.
This was how Einstein came to one of his most profound insights: our universe is a curved and finite universe. He didn’t come to this giant creative realization by left-brain thinking alone, but by combining his knowledge of number, word, order, logic and analysis with his massive imagination spatial awareness and ability to see the whole picture.
His insight was a perfect blending and conversation between both sides of his brain. It was a perfect ‘whole-brained’ creative realization.  


Play Einstein’s Creative Imagination Games
On a daily or weekly basis, play an Einstein’s Creative imagination Games. We have seen how Einstein would pose himself and interesting question such as, ‘what would it be like to go for a ride on a sunbeam to the end to the universe ?  Or, “ If I traveled at the speed of light away from somebody, would I be invisible ?” Or, ‘Does light bend, and if so, how do I know where the thing is that I am seeing ?’ He then let his imagination run riot with all the possible solutions, no matter how bizarre or crazy they might seem to be. Try it with one of your own areas of interest, and see what creative answers you generate.
"Imagination is more powerful than the knowledge. For knowledge  is  limited  whereas  imagination embraces the entire  world, stimulating  progress,  giving  birth  to  evolution."
                                                                  - Albert Einstein

Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.-Albert Einstein
…..Faraday never went to school and therefore preserved the rare gift of thinking freely. - Albert Einstein

Tentative new evidence suggests Einstein's rule that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light may be wrong.

A fundamental subatomic particle, the neutrino, seems to be capable of travelling faster than the speed of light (that is, the speed of a photon through a vacuum).

“I Owe It All To Vitamins”- Dame Barbara

British romance author Dame Barbara Cartland, in a 1992 letter to the Guardian Newspaper credited vitamins for her long and prodigious writing career. “I am 91,” she wrote, “and I have Just broken the record ( Guinness Book Of World Record ) by writing more books than any other English author – 570……….. I have also achieved the world record by writing for 17 years an average of 23 books. I would not have done this without vitamins. All my children and grandchildren have taken them. My eldest grandson passed the difficult examinations for chartered accountancy with honors. My second grandson won the debating cup at the bar and my third passed so highly into Oxford that they offered him any college of his choice. They all say they owed this to the vitamins I gave them.”





Solomon Veniaminovich Shereshevsky
 (1886–1958), was a Russian journalist and mnemonist active in the 1920s.

Shereshevskii participated in many behavioral studies, most of them carried by the neuropsychologist Alexander Luria over a thirty year time span. He met Luria after an anecdotal event in which he was told off for not taking any notes while attending a work meeting in the mid-1920s. To the astonishment of everyone there (and to his own also, due to his belief that everybody had such an ability to recall), he could recall the speech word by word. Along the years Shereshevskii was asked to memorize complex mathematical formulas, huge matrices and even poems in foreign languages and did so in a matter of minutes.[1] Despite his astounding memory performance, Shereshevskii scored no better than average in intelligence tests.[citation needed]

On the basis of his studies, Luria diagnosed in Shereshevskii an extremely strong version of synaesthesia, fivefold synaesthesia, in which the stimulation of one of his senses produced a reaction in every other. For example, if Shereshevskii heard a musical tone played he would immediately see a colour, touch would trigger a taste sensation, and so on for each of the senses.[1] The images that his synaesthesia produced usually aided him in memorizing.[1] For example, when thinking about numbers he reported:

Take the number 1. This is a proud, well-built man; 2 is a high-spirited woman; 3 a gloomy person; 6 a man with a swollen foot; 7 a man with a moustache; 8 a very stout woman—a sack within a sack. As for the number 87, what I see is a fat woman and a man twirling his moustache.[2]  - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 
Case History - Ludwig Van Beethoven
Beethoven is known for his turbulent, questioning and passionate spirit, for his desire for freedom from tyranny and censorship and for his ongoing fight for freedom of artistic expression. He is generally  accepted as the ‘perfect’ example of the wild and untamed model of genius.
All of this is true, and fits in with the traditional interpretation of the right-brained creative genius. However, what has escaped most people’s attention is that Beethoven, like all other musicians, was also incredibly left-brained !
Consider the nature of music: it is written on lines, in sequence; it following its own logic; and it is based on numbers. Music has often been described as the most pure form of mathematics there is ( and it is interesting to note that many of the great mathematicians had music as their main hobby, and vice-versa ).
As well as being passionately imaginative and rhythmical, Beethoven was also passionately meticulous. It was Beethoven who pioneered the use of the musical metronome, stating that it was a Godsend to him because it would now mean that every musician and conductor in the future would be able to play music at precisely the right rhythm, with precisely the right emphasis, and at exactly the right mathematical tempo !
As with Einstein, Beethoven was neither right-brained or left-brained. He was completely and creatively whole-brained.

Brain Researchers Take Vitamin
“I take 1000 IU of vitamin E  a day,” says D. Allan Butterfield, a leading brain researcher and chemistry professor at the University Of Kentucky’s Sanders –Brown Center On Aging. He has studied vitamin E’s ability to neutralize free radicals.
“I take 800 IUs of vitamin E daily,” says Carl Cotman, director of the Institute of Brain Aging and Dementia at the University Of California, Irvine.
“I take 400 IU of vitamin E daily,” says Dr. Mark Mattson of the University Of Kentucky’s Sanders Brown Center On Aging.
“I take 500 IU of natural vitamin E,” says Dr. Lester Packer, Ph. D., world authority on antioxidants at the University Of California at Berkeley.  

All the great creative geniuses had heroes or heroines to whom they looked for inspiration. Alexander the Great had his tutor Aristotle; Julius Caesar had Alexander the Great; all the great geniuses of the Italian Renaissance had the examples of classical antiquity; the Russian Empress Catherine the Great looked to Peter the Great for inspiration; Mohammed Ali had Sugar Ray Robinson; Isaac Newton has Socrates; Stephen Hawking had Isaac Newton, and so on, throughout the pantheon of genius.
The technique, the creative grates used was to hold imaginary conversations with their heroes, asking them for ‘thoughts’ and inspiration. This creative technique can be used for pursuing mighty scientific and cultural goals, and it can also be used by everyone in their normal daily lives.
It has allowed me to be especially creative whenever I have encountered any major opportunity or problem. The way I use this techniques is as follows: then confronted with a situation which requires help from my Mastermind Group of heroes and heroines, I selected the ones who are most appropriate for the given situation. I select my heroes and heroines for their unique creative approaches , for their energy and for their astonishing success, knowing that all of this will ‘feed in’ to me and my own Creative Thinking process.  

Case History -  Leonardo Da Vinci
For a perfect example of a great creative genius using the language of vision to generate thousands of brilliant ground-breaking ideas, you just have to take a look at the note-books of Leonardo Da Vinci. Leonardo used images, diagrams, symbols and illustrations as the purest way to capture, on paper, the thoughts that were teeming in his brain.
The heart of Leonardo’s notebooks, which, because of the manifestations of the sheer creative genius that they contain, are among the most valuable books in the world, is his drawings, these drawings helped Leonardo to explore his thinking in fields as far-ranging as art, physiology, engineering, aquanautics and biology. For Leonardo the language of words took second place to the language of images, and was used to label, indicate or describe his creative thoughts and discoveries – the prime tool for his Creative Thinking was the language of images.

                               Case History – Richard Feynman
Richard Feynman, the Noble Prize winner physicist, realized as a young man that imagination and visualization were the most vital part of the Creative Thinking process. As such he played imagination games, and taught himself to draw. Like Galileo, Feynman broke away from his more traditional note-taking contemporaries and decided to put the entire theory of quantum electrodynamics into freshly visual and diagrammatic from. This led to his developing the now famous Feynman diagrams – pictorial representation of particle interaction, which are now used by students throughout the world to help them understand, remember and create ideas in the realms of physics and general science.
Feynman was so proud of his diagrams that he painted them on his car! 

Case History – Charles Darwin
Darwin was a Mind-map ! in developing his Theory Of Evolution, Charles Darwin has a vast task in front of him: he had to explore as much of the natural world as possible; to classify each of the species and their relationships to each other; to explain the regularities and irregularities in nature; to demonstrate the explosive and multiplicative nature of growth and diversity. How did he do this ? With basic mind-map.
Darwin devised a basic Mind-map form of note, which was very much like a branching tree, and was almost identical to the ‘Fun’. Darwin used these basic Mind-map form as the only effective way to help him collect messages of data, to organize it, to see the relationships between the various items, and to create new awareness from it. It is reported that within 15 months of drawing his first tree ’Mind-map’ diagram, Darwin had worked out all the major components of the Theory Of Evolution.

Case History – Jodie Foster
Jodie Foster has been an actress all her life – a profession in which putting yourself in the shoes of other people is the first and most important requirement. She started in her first TV commercial when she was just three years old, and was nominated for her first Oscar for her role in Taxi Driver at the age of 14. Over the last 30 years she has acted in nearly 50 roles, most memorably as the victim in The Accused and as Special Agent Starling in The Silence Of The Lambs.
Foster can only think herself into myriad different Characters. In the 1990s she changed her point of view by going behind the movie camera to both direct and produce her own films, to great critical acclaim. She also looks at life from the perspectives of a Yale graduate, a mother, and an astute business person.

Case History – Maria Montessori
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, an amazing young woman in Italy, Maria Montessori, had a unique revelation. Maria had already distinguished herself by becoming the first ever woman in Italy to receive a degree in medicine, which she was awarded just over 100 years ago.
Maria was particularly interested in children, and it was while visiting kinder-garden and primary schools that she realized something that subsequently, because of her, changed the way the world thinks about the education of the very young.
Her realization was that everything in schools was built and taught from the point of view of adults; the chair and desks were for too large, rough and heavy; the order of things was rigid – the rules of behavior were based on the army! Color was either absent or blandly ‘official’; nature was absent; silence was the rule; asking questions was forbidden; reading, writing and arithmetic were the only subject taught; and creativity was totally absent !
Maria put herself into the mind of the four or five years old child, and created a new universe for them.
In Montessori’s school, the chairs, desks, and tables are designed for little bodies; classrooms are filled with colors beautiful things to look at, different textures and varying fragrances; nature becomes a part of the classroom in the form of plants, aquariums and pets; movement is encouraged; questions rewarded; and every opportunity given for the questioning young creative mind to explore, express and develop itself.
By one person looking at things from a different point of view, the world’s education systems began to be transformed.     

Case History – Alexander The Great
Alexander The Great, whose never-ending creativity in military invention and battle strategy earned him the title of the greatest military commander and leader of all time, was brilliant at seeing things from other points of view – and not just from that of other people, but animals too.
Alexander was introduced to the giant horse Bucephalus. No one had ever been able to mount and ride the animal before, and everyone was wondering whether the great Alexander might finally have met his match.
                He hadn’t !
                Unlike the others who simply tried to use brute force against this giant stallion, Alexander tried to get into its mind. He realized that Bucephalus was afraid of one thing- his own shadow. Alexander therefore held the horse and turned him to face to the sun. Once his shadow had vanished and Bucephalus became calmer, Alexander could mount the horse and tame it. 

Case History – Sir Isaac Newton
Everyone knows that Isaac Newton was inspired to create his laws if universal gravitation when an apple dropped on his head. This common myth is nearly accurate, but not quite. The real history is actually far more interesting.
As Newton himself reported, he conceived his theory when he saw an apple falling ( not onto his head ! ) at the same time as he saw the moon hanging in the sky.
The simple, childlike questions that arouse in his head were: ‘Why did the apple fall ?’ and, more importantly, ‘Why doesn’t the moon fall ?’ Does the same law that makes the apple fall, apply to the moon ?’
It was investigating the combination of the fates of these very different ‘balls’ that sparked Newton’s creative thinking processes, and led to his development of the theory – “Newton’s Law Of Motions,” “Newton’s Gravitational Law,” these are still the core of most modern engineering and science. 
-->
Case History – Gregor Mendel
The 19th century Austrian botanist and monk, Gregor Mendel, spent many hours in his monastery’s garden daydreaming and looking at the beautiful and different colors of the sweet-pea flowers, when an extraordinary connection became apparent to him: he noticed that the appearance of the different colors appeared to be linked and related to simple mathematical progression.
From this simple, brilliant and connecting observation, Mendel was able to work out the laws of inherited characteristics (why and with what probability you have blue or brown eyes, etc.) and which eventually gave rise to the multibillion- dollar industry that is now genetic engineering.

Case History – Mohammed Ali
Mohammed Ali is considered by many to be the greatest sportsman of the past 100 years. All used the creative thinking technique of reversal to his advantage.
Everybody said that heavy men could not dance – he danced !
Everybody said you should always hold your hands up when you box – Ali held them down !
Everybody said that big men could not be fast – Ali made himself the fastest boxer ever !
It was Ali’s ability to reverse traditional thinking that enabled him to take his sport to totally new creative levels.
-->
Case History – Michelangelo
Michelangelo, probably the greatest sculptor ever, was also a practitioner of reverse thinking. While most sculptors and teachers of sculpting thought (and often still think) that the purpose of the sculptor was to impose a shape on a formless lump of marble, Michelangelo felt the opposite. He considered that the perfect form was already in the stone. His task was to chip away the unnecessary marble and to let that already-existing shape free from its stony prison !
By thinking in this way, Michelangelo made his task conceptually much easier: instead of having to impose his own will on the recalcitrant stone, he was simply the image’s servant, chipping away to reveal the beauty that lay beneath the surface.
-->Case History – Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791)
Austrian composer, a centrally important composer of the classical era, and one of the most inspired composers in western musical tradition. By the age of six Mozart had become an accomplished performer on the clavier, violin, and organ and was highly skilled in sight-reading and improvisation. Five short piano pieces composed by Mozart when he was six years old, are still frequently played. In 1762, his father took him on many successful concert tours through the courts of Europe. During this period he composed sonatas for the harpsichord and violin (1763), a symphony (1764), an oratorio (1766), and an opera buffa (1768). At the age of 13, Mozart was appointed concertmaster to the archbishop of Salzburg, and later in the same year, at La Scala (Milan, Italy), he was made a chevalier of the order of the Golden Spur by the pope. He also composed his first German operetta in the same year. At the age of 14, he was commissioned to write a serious opera. This work, Mithridate, Re Di Ponto (Mithridates, King of Pontus, 1770), produced under his direction at Milan, completely established an already phenomenal reputation.
Young Mozart learnt the language of music, day in and day out, from one of the best private tutors possible. Also like Beethoven, Mozart worked prodigiously hard at his chosen area of creative expression. It is reported that he would often work as many as 18 hours a day.

Education is not only learning from books, memorizing  some facts, but also learning how to look, how to listen to what the books are saying, whether they are saying something true or false. All that is part of education. Education is not just to pass examinations, take a degree and a job, get married and settle down, but also to be able to listen to the birds, to see the sky, to see the extraordinary beauty of a tree, and the shape of the hills, and to fill with them, to be directly in touch with them.
                                           - Krishnamurti on Education
  
Igor Charkovsky
During the 1960s, Soviet researcher Igor Charkovsky undertook considerable research into the safety and possible benefits of water birth in the Soviet Union. Water birth is a method of giving birth, which involves immersion in warm water. Proponents believe that this method is safe and provides many benefits for both mother and infant, including pain relief and a less traumatic birth experience for the baby. However, critics argue that the procedure introduces unnecessary risks to the infant such as infection and water inhalation.
Igor Charkovsky’s first experiment with human being was with his own daughter, veta. She had been born prematurely and doctors had given up hope that she would survive. Under Charkovsky’s care, she quickly became a fine swimmer. When only two years old Veta had the body and coordination of a four years-old. In subsequent experiments with other children it has been established that coordination, a sense of balance, fearlessness, self-confidence, and physical development  all become greatly enhanced during training.

There are no good pupils, there are only good teachers. Teaching is not an imposition of the teacher’s will over that of the pupil, not at all. Teaching starts with freedom and ends with freedom.
A receptive state is required on the part of the pupil, a feeling of acceptance, even before the brain sees the truth of what is shown; an empty free space that one might call “innocence.” It is from here that intelligence starts to function. The aim of the teacher is to awaken interest and curiosity in the mind of the pupil, giving him/her a clear picture of the subject. His/her explanations should be so evident and logical that the pupil cannot but grasp the significance of what is said.
Understanding leads to independence and to freedom.

In its failure to value differences in the way people learn, the educational process often suppresses intuition, creativity, and your sense of identity. Trusting your inner voice, which is one of the critical steps in developing intuition, is predicated on being truly self-confident. Learning how to trust your intuition is really learning how to trust that part of yourself that knows from within. But because traditional education does not recognize intuition as an intelligence - that is, a recognizable style of absorbing and processing information- you have to broaden the conventional definition of “intelligence” for yourself and learn how to use your full intellectual capacity again. Only then will you be able to believe in your intuitive abilities. 
                                                 - Sixth Sense, Laurie Nadel
* Intuition = no tuition, without learning if you know anything,
                      that is intuition. For example- a puppy can swim
                      well without training in the swimming pool.
  -->
Educatein the real sense of that word; not to transmit from the teachers to the students some information about mathematics or history or geography, but in the very instruction of these subjects to bring about a change in your mind. Which means that you have to be extraordinarily critical. You have to learn never to accept anything which you yourself do not see clearly, never to repeat what another has said.
                                                   - Krishnamurti on Education



In the United states of America, researchers estimate that about 24 percent of people 18 or older, or about 44 million adults, experience a mental illness or substance-related disorder during the course of any given year. The most common of these disorders are depression, alcohol dependence, and various phobias. An estimated 2.6 percent of adults in the United states, or about 4.8million people, suffer from a severe and persistent mental illness – such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or a severe form of depression or panic disorder – in any given year. An additional 2.8 percent of adults, or about 5.2 million people, experience a mental illness that seriously interferes with one or more aspects of their daily life, such as their ability to work or relate to other people.

“This country has a health-care crisis in the classroom”, says Dr. Daniel Shea, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics. “Poor health is leading to poor academic performance; and poor academic performance is leading to a wide array of greater social problems – school dropouts, unemployment, poverty and crime, to name but a few.”

Adolf Hitler ( 1889-1945 )
Who launched World War II in 1939. During World War II, German Nazis imprisoned about 7 to 8 million people, mostly European Jews, in 22 concentration camps. By 1945 they had murdered about 6 million of the inmates. Some were killed by firing squads, others died of starvation or as a result of experiments performed on them by German doctors and scientists, and most died in poison gas chambers. Finally, on April 30,1945, Hitler committed suicide in his Berlin bunker.
German doctors, scientists, politicians and genius were servant of Adolf Hitler, during that period. Our modern education couldn’t produce Socrates, it produced Galileo Galilei but couldn’t produced both at the same time.
Some people said that Adolf Hitler is an incarnation of God Jesus Christ. When Jesus was accused of thief by Jews people and they supported to imprison him, the king also agreed to hang up him for his crime but in fact he was innocent. So Jesus took another cruel incarnation as Hitler for punishment of Jews.  
  
It’s not that I’m denying existence of God. It does not mean that I’m accepting existence of god either, because god has a different meaning to different people. The Buddha declared that we all are Buddha. The difference is that the God Buddha has awaken but we are still sleeping. We are sleeping in the dark, we cannot search the sun-light. These all things around the world, around the universe is the God itself. Quantum physics has also proved it.

You may have many times come across the word “meditation.” It simply means going beyond the mind. In meditation you don’t think, you don’t ideologies, you don’t logic, you don’t rationalize. You just feel your breath, feel the sensation and slowly dissolve yourself in the feeling. There is nobody, no mind, no thoughts, and all of a sudden you become one with the entire power of the universe. So to me, the god is the universal force. The unseen power, that is god. We are part of that and we can be one with that. Meditation is the means to detach with all the ideologies and unite with the universal energy.

The Ways To Feed Your Brain What It Really Wants
1.    Make fruits and vegetables the major part of your diet……
2.    Eat poultry without skin, or very lean meats. 
3.    Eat dried beans legumes of all kinds, including peanuts, preferably unsalted.
4.    Eat nuts, notably walnuts and almonds.
5.    Eat fatty fish ( salmon, sardines, mackerel ) & shell-fish.
6.    Restrict omega-fats (especially corn oil), hydrogenated vegetable oils, and trans fatty acids.
7.    Restrict sugar and sodium. Restrict Monosodium glutamate (MSG) & Food Preservatives.
Monosodium glutamate, also known as sodium glutamate and MSG, is a sodium salt of glutamic acid, a naturally occurring non-essential amino acid. It is used as a food additive and is commonly marketed as a flavour enhancer. It has the HS code 29224220 and the E number E621.[2] Trade names of monosodium glutamate include Ajinomoto, Vetsin, Ac'cent, "Sazón Goya" and Tasting Powder. It was once made predominantly from wheat gluten, but is now made mostly from bacterial fermentation; it is acceptable for coeliacs following a gluten-free diet.
Preservative food additives can be used alone or in conjunction with other methods of food preservation. Preservatives may be antimicrobial preservatives, which inhibit the growth of faeces or fungi, including mold, or antioxidants such as oxygen absorbers, which inhibit the oxidation of food constituents. Common antimicrobial preservatives include calcium propionate, sodium nitrate, sodium nitrite, sulfites (sulfur dioxide, sodium bisulfite, potassium hydrogen sulfite, etc.) and disodium EDTA. Antioxidants include BHA and BHT. Other preservatives include ethanol andmethylchloroisothiazolinone. FDA standards do not currently require fruit and vegetable product labels to reflect the type of chemical preservative(s) used on the produce.[citation needed] The benefits and safety of many artificial food additives (including preservatives) are the subject of debate among academics and regulators specializing in food science, toxicology, and biology.


8.  Restrict processed foods.
9.  Take vitamin-minerals supplements, because it is impossible to totally imitate a nutrient-rich Stone Age diet without a boost from supplements.
10.Take fish-oil (cod liver oil) capsules, especially if you     
      don’t eat fish several times a week. (it is suitable for
      almost all age people and child above 5 years. It
      growths memory power of brain. It makes bones,
      teeth, skins, nails strong and smooth. It makes body
      healthy.
Cod liver oil is a nutritional supplement derived from liver of cod fish.  It is widely taken to ease the symptoms of arthritis and for other health benefits. It was once commonly given to children, because the high levels of vitamin D in cod liver oil have been shown to prevent rickets and other symptoms of vitamin D deficiency. High doses of synthetic vitamin A (retinoids) have been shown to cause birth defects. Some urge caution when taking cod liver oil and other fish-based supplements since they may contain elevated levels of toxins such as mercury and PCBs found in fish.[15] Some supplement companies regularly test cod liver oil for purity. Consumerlab.com tested 44 fish and cod liver oil supplements and found that all were free of detectable 
levels of mercury.

The Brain – Heart Connection
It’s fascinating to note that those who skimp on fish throughout the world have the greatest incidence of both depression and heart disease. Since it’s now known that the fat in fish can protect arteries from clogging and the heart from shutting down, as well as the brain from depression, this may help explain why depression often precedes and predicts heart disease and why the two often strike the same individuals. Hippocrates said it first: “Food that is good for the heart is likely to be good for the brain.” 


 Use The Whole Brain Skills Set To Examine Your Life
Test how many of your left-brain skills you normally use and nature. Next do the same with your right–brain skills. Pay attention to any of those right or left-brain areas that you are neglecting and begin to exercise and strengthen them right away. 


 A Guide To Sugar Lingo
The word sugar can be confusing because its meaning is so broad and encompasses both sugar in the diet and in the blood. The sugar you eat is technically a carbohydrate. There are two types of carbohydrates: simple sugars, including sucrose, or table sugar: and complex cabs known as starches such as potatoes, cereals, fruits and other vegetables.
Sucrose is refined table sugar.
Fructose is sugar in fruits.
Glucose is sugar in the blood. The main point: all sugars and starches and some fats and protein, when digested and metabolized, end up as glucose in the bloodstream. Glucose is the energy your body and brain run on. (Concentrated liquid or powdered glucose is also sold in health stores and pharmacies and used in experimental studies.) 


Diabetes Of The Brain ?
It’s a new and controversial idea: that insulin affects memory, learning and general brain function far more deeply that previously thought. Some researchers even contend that neurons, just like other cells, need insulin to process glucose – an idea that flies in the face of long time conventional belief. Such scientists suggest that insufficient or “low voltage” insulin could starve neurons of glucose, leading to a partial power outage or “brownout” of the brain, resulting in weakened message transmission, a slump in learning, and memory failure of the type seen in age-related impairment and Alzheimer’s disease. In a word, memory disturbances due to ineffectual insulin inside brain cells might be a kind of “diabetes” or pre diabetes of the brain.
That’s what neuroscientist Siegfried Hoyer at the University Of Heidelberg in Germany theorizes. He finds hat rats with brains made resistant or insensitive to insulin quickly develop memory loss, which progresses to an Alzheimer’s-like state. He, as well as neuroscientist Suzanne Craft at the University Of Washington, have found insulin disturbances in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients. “We believe that some cases of Alzheimer’s disease are like diabetes mellitus,” says Dr. Hoyer. 


 Take Breaks
Surprisingly, whole-brain thinking demands that it you are going to be fully and truly creative, you must take regular breaks.
Think about it: where are you, when you come up with those bursts of imagination, those solutions to problems, those great fantasies and day dreams ? Most people’s answers include some or all of the following:
*   In the bath
*   In the shower
*   Walking in the country
*   Before going to sleep
*   While asleep
*   Upon waking up
*   While listening to music
*   On a long distance drive
*   While out running
*   While swimming
*   Lying on the beach
*   When ‘idly’ doodling
In what state are your body and mind at such times ? relaxed and often alone. 


  
It is in these rest-periods that the two sides of your brain are able to converse and communicate with each other, and when the vast well spring of your creativity is allowed to express itself.
            - Tony Buzan
                Go For Long Walks Or Rambles
The Romans had a special phrase, solvitas perambulum, which can be roughly translated as ‘solve it while you walk.’ What they had realized, although obviously not in left/right-brain terms, was that if you take your brain for a walk, especially outside in the country, the  steady rhythm of your limbs, movement, the regular rhythm of your heart pumping more strongly, doses of oxygen-filled blood flowing into your brain, and the feast that your eyes, ears and other senses have while you walk, all contribute to creative thinking and problem solving.
If you have a creative task or problem upon which you are working, “Walk it out” and you’ll “Work it out”! 
    Brain Messages From The Laboratory
For decades, scientists have known from studies of laboratory animals that a vitamin E deficiency strikes the nervous system with a vengeance. Vitamin E-deficient rats and their offspring often suffer paralysis and “nutritional muscular dystrophy.” Rhesus monkeys, as well as chicks and rats, fed vitamin E-deficient diets develop ataxia (loss of balance), weakness, and other neurologic disturbances. Giving animals high vitamin E does has reduced the damage to hippocampus cells following a stroke; and pre-treating animals with vitamin E speed recovery of motor function after spinal cord injury.
Simply giving animals twice the amount of vitamin E in their diets over a period of time substantially reduced the amount of brain damage following a brain hemorrhage or stroke. Thus, some experts suspect that modest doses of vitamin E supplements - 100 to 400 IU daily – may help protect humans from neurological damage after a stroke.


 Does Selenium Explain Garlic As Mood-food?
Several researchers have reported that garlic elevates mood. Garlic’s high selenium content may be one explanation. Indian researchers testing garlic’s benefits for heart attack patients have noted a governable side effect: better mood and more energy. French scientist Dr. Gilles Fillion of the Pasteur Institute found that garlic promotes the release of feel-good serotonin. “I suspect garlic is anti-stress, anti-anxiety, and acts as a sort of antidepressant like Prozac, although with a much milder effect,” he said. “Eating garlic may just make you feel better.” In mice, Japanese researchers pronounced garlic extract 60 percent as effective as valium in relieving stress.
 A Word About A Carnitine As A Brain-booster
Another supplement that has energizing power in brain cells is acetyl-L-carnitine, and some studies suggest your brain get an added boost by taking a carnitine along with coQ10. Such a carnitine also pumps up energy production in the mitochondria of cells, additionally, acetyl-L-carnitine helps retard the loss of receptors on brain cells and stimulates message transmission.
In tests, a carnitine has improved the mental functioning of some people with Alzheimer’s but has not proved as effective as once hoped. Usual dose is 250 to 1000 milligrams a day. A reported side effect: vivid dreams. Don’t take a carnitine if you have epilepsy or manic depression (bipolar disorder). People with Alzheimer’s should use it under a doctor’s supervision.

The highest concentrations of carnitine are found in red meat and dairy products. Other natural sources of carnitine include nuts and seeds (e.g. pumpkin, sunflower, sesame), legumes or pulses (beans, peas, lentils, peanuts), vegetables (artichokes, asparagus, beet greens, broccoli, brussels sprouts, collard greens, garlic, mustard greens, okra, parsley, kale), fruits (apricots, bananas), cereals (buckwheat, corn, millet, oatmeal, rice bran, rye, whole wheat, wheat bran, wheat germ) and other "health" foods (bee pollen, brewer's yeast, carob).[citation needed]

In general, 20 to 200 mg are ingested per day by those on an omnivorous diet, whereas those on a strict vegetarian or vegan diet may ingest as little as 1 mg/day.[citation needed] No advantage appears to exist in giving an oral dose greater than 2 g at one time, since absorption studies indicate saturation at this dose.[23]

[edit] Other sources:

Other sources may be found in over-the-counter vitamins, energy drinks and various other products. Products containing L-carnitine cannot be marketed as "natural health products" in Canada. L-Carnitine products and supplements are not allowed to be imported into Canada (Health Canada).[


A Word About Pycnogenol

Although ginkgo biloba has been more widely tested as a brain booster, some experts say another natural extract made from pine bark has extraordinary potential in protecting the brain from age-related deterioration and mental decline. It is pycnogenol, a strong antioxidant supplement produced in France and distributed by the Henkel Company in the United States Of America.

New evidence from the Berkeley Laboratory of Dr. Lester Packer shows that pycnogenol possesses strong powers against certain free radicals, including nitric oxide that can be toxic to brain-cells, especially in brains vulnerable to Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. Dr. Packer predicts that as new research reveals the brain-protective powers of pycnogenol it, like ginkgo biloba, will become widely popular as a brain-boosting supplement. Red-panex ginseng is also useful for physical and mental fitness (we can use both at the same time).
Proanthocyanidins represent a group of condensed flavan-3-ols, such as procyanidins, prodelphinidins and propelargonidins, that can be found in many plants, most notably apples, maritime pine bark, cinnamon, aronia fruit, cocoa beans, grape seed, grape skin (procyanidins and prodelphinidins),[2] and red wines of Vitis vinifera (the common grape). However, bilberry, cranberry, black currant, green tea, black tea, and other plants also contain these flavonoids. Cocoa beans contain the highest concentrations.[3] Proanthocyanidins can also be isolated from Quercus petraea and Q. robur heartwood (wine barrel oaks).[4] Açaí oil, obtained from the fruit of the açaí palm (Euterpe oleracea), is rich in numerous procyanidin oligomers.[5]

Apples contain on average per serving about eight times the amount of proanthocyanidin found in wine, with some of the highest amounts found in the Red Delicious and Granny Smith varieties.[6]
A patented extract of maritime pine bark called Pycnogenol bears 65-75 percent proanthocyanidins (procyanidins).[7] Thus a 100 mg serving would contain 65 to 75 mg of proanthocyanidins (procyanidins).

Proanthocyanidin glycosides can be isolated from cocoa liquor.[8]

The seed testas of field beans (Vicia faba) contain proanthocyanidins[9] that affect the digestibility in piglets[10] and could have an inhibitory activity on enzymes.


Five Ways Choline Builds Better Brains
v Choline is the raw material for synthesis of acetylcholine, the memory neurotransmitter with widespread and diverse activity in brain cells.
v Choline combined with fatty acids to make choline phospholipids gives structure to cell membranes, and helps regulate transmission of signals between the cell exterior and the nucleus, a mighty influence in brain cell business.
v Choline added to drinking water spurred growth of new dendritic spines in the cerebral cortexes. Scientist tests in old mice, their memory and learning capacity improved.
v Choline helps break down homocysteine, a brain toxin.
v Choline in fetal brains helps dictated the very architecture and writing, and thus the intellectual capacity of the brain after birth and into old age.

The Adequate Intake (AI) of choline is 425 mg (milligrams) per day for adult women; higher for pregnant and breastfeeding women. The AI for adult men is 550 mg/day. There are also AIs for children and teens.[13]

     The Mitochondria Miracle
Each cell has thousands of mitochondria, where the complex chemistry that creates energy (read “life”) occurs. All goes well if the mitochondria are normal. But through the years, these tiny structures are bombarded by free radical, damaging their DNA, leaving them defective. How well a cell continues to generate energy depends on the proportion of normal mitochondria to defective one, says Douglas Wallace, Ph. D. professor of biochemistry at Emory University. Accumulated DNA damage from aging can decrease the number of normal mitochondria to the point the cell becomes incapacitated, says Wallace. For example, defective mitochondria stop producing glutathione, a powerhouse antioxidant in brain cells. Most vulnerable are cells that require the most energy-namely in the brain and heart. What coenzyme Q 10 does: facilitates the energy-generating process (electron transport) and scares off free radicals that render mitochondria defective.
The mitochondria of neurons need extra antioxidant protection because brain cells burn so much energy and are full of fat that must be detoxified if they are to function normally. 


 Radiant Thinking & Proof of Your Infinite Creative Potential
Your brain does not, like the computer, thinks radiantly and explosively, as is shown in the following diagram.
Tony and Barry Buzan have explored a powerful way of expressing thoughts called Mind Mapping. The basic technique is to combine lines, text, and images to represent related ideas and concepts. The Mind Map Book presents detailed descriptions of how to use a wide range of Mind Mapping techniques to a myriad of uses.
Some applications of Mind Mapping include: Making Choices, Organizing Your Own Ideas, Organizing Other Peoples Ideas, Memory, Creative Thinking, The Group Mind Map, Self-Analysis, Problem-Solving, The Mind Map Diary, Family Study and Story Telling, Educational Thinking, Teaching, The Master Mind Map, Business and Professional Meetings, Presentations, ...
The book is full of mind-maps created by individuals, including the following:


                                      Use Both Sides of Your Body
By using both sides of your body, you will use both sides of your brain. Learn to juggle, or use your non-dominant hand in your daily activities such as combining your hair, brushing your teeth, dialing the phone, stirring a pan on the stove, writing etc. You could also try eating using the cutlery the ‘wrong way round’!

Notes

Notes are your brain’s special way of communication with itself. It is much easier for your brain to work in its creative thoughts, problems and memories by putting notes down externally that it is to keep them all ‘up in the air’ inside itself – just try calculating long division in your head without the aid of pen and paper !

When you are taking notes, use your right as well as your left brain, adding interesting focus to your notes by using color, images, spatial planning and visual rhythm.

Use Color In Your Notes

Always use color in your notes. Start off with four-color ballpoint pen, and move on to other colors as you progress. Colors make your notes more interesting; it will stimulate your creative thinking process, and will literally, add color to your life

First let’s look at the blue, black and grey colors with which we usually make our notes. The reason why we do this is because we have been taught to do so (in my school we were taught not only to use one color – blue/black – but also only to use one particular make of ink as well! Any child caught wandering from this strict order was likely to be given 25 lines of extra homework!)
How does your brain feel about all this ? To your brain, a blue, black or grey is a single (mono) color (chroma), this means that the light waves that bombard your eye from that color are all identical. To your brain, therefore, a single blue, black or grey color is a mono(single) tone of information.
What word do we get when we combine the concept of “mono” and “tone”? Monotone. And if something is a monotone, we describe it as……..monotonous! And what word do we commonly use to describe something that is monotonous? BORING!
What does your brain do when it is bored? Most people come up with one of the following answers:
Ø Tunes out
Ø Turns off
Ø Switches off
Ø Goes dead
Ø Daydreams
Ø Drifts
Ø Goes to sleep
Thus, the current method developed for unleashing the productive power of the planet is actually boring creative minds to distraction and sending them to sleep!

Every Child Can Play The Violin
Suzuki decided to put his theory by teaching very young children to play the violin. He didn’t give them books of musical notation, but simply allowed them to copy basic movements that he made on the instrument. He taught other teachers to do the same. It worked.
Today, at the beginning of the 21st century, hundreds of thousands of children world-wide have learned to play the violin and other musical instrument, including their voices, using Suzuki’s methods. Not a single child has been found who cannot play well. The same techniques has been applied to adults, with similar results.
The probability that you are the only person who could not so learn, is infinitesimal! You are a natural creative musician!

Why Do We Feel Sleepy After A Heavy Meal ?
After having a heavy meal, our stomach requires circulation of more blood for digestion. So, large amount of blood goes in the stomach; more than the circulation of blood in the brain. This causes a deficiency of blood in the brain. Thus the brain becomes less active and it makes us sleepy.
-                                    -New Basic Science and Environment
                               ( author- Kabi Raj Bantawa )
We must not drink water until one hour before meal and we mustn’t drink water approximately within one hour after meal because the water makes digestive enzymes thin in stomach so, from the stomach the food goes to the small intestine where digestion is completed. The digested food is absorbed by the blood and taken to all parts of the body. The undigested food passes to large intestine and from there it is pushed out through the anus. If we drink water within one hour before or later meal, digestion is in-completed because of the thin digestive enzymes.  

Anulom Vilom Pranayam(Breathing Exercise):
By air(oxygen) taken into inside lungs from one nostril and sent out it through the another nostril, from which nostril via you have sent out the air then take air inside from the same nostril and send it out from another nostril. Repeat it, 5 to 10 minutes before meal. It can increase memory power of brain. Yale University of U.S.A. has also proved it. 

Iron plays an important role in biology, forming complexes with molecular oxygen in hemoglobin and myoglobin (in blood); these two compounds are commonoxygen transport proteins in vertebrates. Iron is also the metal used at the active site of many important redox enzymes dealing with cellular respirationand oxidation and reduction in plants and animals. It is necessary for blood.
Calcium, combined with phosphate to form hydroxylapatite, is the mineral portion of human and animal bones and teeth. The mineral portion of somecorals can also be transformed into hydroxylapatite.
Phosphorus is essential for life. As phosphate, it is a component of DNA, RNA, ATP, and also the phospholipids that form all cell membranes. Elemental phosphorus was historically first isolated from human urine, and bone ash was an important early phosphate source. Phosphate minerals are fossils. Low phosphate levels are an important limit to growth in some aquatic systems.
Magnesium is a vital component of a healthy human diet. Adult human bodies contain about 24 grams of magnesium, with 60% in the skeleton, 39% intracellular (20% in skeletal muscle), and 1% extracellular. Serum levels are typically 0.7–1.0 mmol/L or 1.8–2.4 mEq/L. Serum magnesium levels may appear normal even in cases of underlying intracellular deficiency, although no known mechanism maintains a homeostatic level in the blood other than renal excretion of high blood levels.  low levels of magnesium in the body has been associated with the development of a number of human illnesses such as asthma, diabetes, and osteoporosis.[18]
Carotene is the substance in carrots that colours them orange and is the most common form of carotene in plants. When used as a food colouring, it has the E number E160a.[4]p119The structure was deduced by Karrer et al. in 1930.[5] In nature, β-carotene is a precursor (inactive form) to vitamin A via the action of beta-carotene 15,15'-monooxygenase.[3]
The average daily intake of β-carotene is in the range 2–7 mg, as estimated from a pooled analysis of 500,000 women living in the USA, Canada and some European countries.[15]
The U.S. Department of Agriculture lists the following 10 foods to have the highest β-carotene content per serving.[16]

All living organisms use thiamine in their biochemistry, but it is only synthesized in bacteria, fungi, and plants. Animals must obtain it from their diet, and, thus, for them, it is a vitamin. Insufficient intake in birds produces a characteristic polyneuritis, and in mammals results in a disease called beriberi affecting the peripheral nervous system (polyneuritis) and/or the cardiovascular system, with fatal outcome if not cured by thiamine administration.[1] In less severe deficiency, nonspecific signs include malaise, weight loss, irritability and confusion.[2] Thiamine is found in a wide variety of foods at low concentrations. Yeast, yeast extract (e.g., Marmite), and pork are the most highly concentrated sources of thiamine. In general, cereal grains are the most important dietary sources of thiamine, by virtue of their ubiquity. Of these, whole grains contain more thiamine than refined grains, as thiamine is found mostly in the outer layers of the grain and in the germ (which are removed during the refining process). For example, 100 g of whole-wheat flour contains 0.55 mg of thiamine, while 100 g of white flour contains only 0.06 mg of thiamine. In the US, processed flour must be enriched with thiamine mononitrate (along with niacin, ferrous iron, riboflavin, and folic acid) to replace that lost in processing. In Australia, thiamine, folic acid, and iodised salt are added for the same reason.[21] A whole foods diet is therefore recommended for deficiency.
Some other foods rich in thiamine are oatmeal, flax, and sunflower seeds, brown rice, whole grain rye, asparagus, kale, cauliflower, potatoes, oranges, liver(beef, pork, and chicken), and eggs.[2]
Thiamine hydrochloride (Betaxin) is a (when by itself) white, crystalline hygroscopic food-additive used to add a brothy/meaty flavor to gravies or soups. It is a natural intermediary resulting from a thiamine-HCl reaction, which precedes hydrolysis and phosphorylation, before it is finally employed (in the form of TPP) in a number of enzymatic amino, fatty acid, and carbohydrate reactions.[22]
Riboflavin is found naturally : -

in asparagus, popcorn, bananas, persimmons, okra, chard, cottage cheese, milk, yogurt, meat, eggs, fish, and green beans (particularly on the ends), each of which contain at least 0.1 mg of the vitamin per 3–10.5 oz (85–300 g) serving.(5). Other sources specify cheese, leafy green vegetables, liver, kidneys, legumes, tomatoes, yeast, mushrooms, and almonds.[2]
Riboflavin is destroyed by exposure to ultraviolet light, so milk sold in transparent (glass/plastic) bottles will likely contain less riboflavin than milk sold in opaque containers.
Riboflavin has been used in several clinical and therapeutic situations. For over 30 years, riboflavin supplements have been used as part of the phototherapy treatment of neonatal jaundice. The light used to irradiate the infants breaks down not only bilirubin, the toxin causing the jaundice, but also the naturally occurring riboflavin within the infant's blood, so extra supplementation is necessary.
High dose riboflavin appears to be useful alone or along with beta-blockers in the prevention of migraine.[16][17] A dose of 400 mg daily has been used effectively in the prophylaxis of migraines, especially in combination with a daily supplement of magnesium citrate 500 mg and, in some cases, a supplement of coenzyme Q10.[18]
Riboflavin has also been used as a muscle pain reliever.[citation needed]
Riboflavin in combination with UV light has been shown to be effective in reducing the ability of harmful pathogens found in blood products to cause disease.[19][20][21] When UV light is applied to blood products containing riboflavin, the nucleic acids in pathogens are damaged, rendering them unable to replicate and cause disease.[21][22] Riboflavin and UV light treatment has been shown to be effective for inactivating pathogens in platelets and plasma, and is under development for application to whole blood. Because platelets and red blood cells do not contain a nucleus (i.e. they have no DNA to be damaged) the technique is well-suited for destroying nucleic acid containing pathogens (including viruses, bacteria, parasites, and white blood cells) in blood products.[23]
Recently, riboflavin has been used in a new treatment to slow or stop the progression of the corneal disorder keratoconus. This is called corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL). In corneal crosslinking, riboflavin drops are applied to the patient’s corneal surface. Once the riboflavin has penetrated through the cornea, ultraviolet A light therapy is applied. This induces collagen crosslinking, which increases the tensile strength of the cornea. The treatment has been shown in several studies to stabilize keratoconus.
Niacin is one of five vitamins associated with a pandemic deficiency disease: niacin deficiency (pellagra), vitamin C deficiency (scurvy), thiamin deficiency (beriberi), vitamin D deficiency (rickets), vitamin A deficiency (night blindness and other symptoms).
Food sources
Niacin is found in variety of foods, including liver, chicken, beef, fish, cereal, peanuts and legumes, and is also synthesized from tryptophan, which is found in meat, dairy and eggs.

Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin and is part of the vitamin B complex group. Several forms of the vitamin are known, but pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) is the active form and is a cofactor in many reactions of amino acid metabolism, including transamination, deamination, and decarboxylation. PLP also is necessary for the enzymatic reaction governing the release of glucose from glycogen. Pyridoxal phosphate, the metabolically active form of vitamin B6, is involved in many aspects of macronutrient metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis, histamine synthesis, hemoglobin synthesis and function and gene expression. Pyridoxal phosphate generally serves as a coenzyme for many reactions and can help facilitate decarboxylation, transamination, racemization, elimination, replacement and beta-group interconversion reactions.[3] The liver is the site for vitamin B6 metabolism. Vitamin B6 is widely distributed in foods in both its free and bound forms. Good sources include meats, whole grain products, vegetables, nuts and bananas. Cooking, storage and processing losses of vitamin B6 vary and in some foods may be more than 50%,[6] depending on the form of vitamin present in the food. Plant foods lose the least during processing as they contain mostly pyridoxine which is far more stable than the pyridoxal or pyridoxamine found in animal foods. For example, milk can lose 30-70% of its vitamin B6 content when dried.[3] Vitamin B6 is found in the germ and aleuronelayer of grains and milling results to the reduction of this vitamin in white flour. Freezing and canning are other food processing methods that results in the loss of vitamin B6 in foods.[7]
Vitamin B12 consists of a class of chemically-related compounds (vitamers), all of which have vitamin activity. It contains the biochemically rare element cobalt. Biosynthesis of the basic structure of the vitamin in nature is only accomplished by simple organisms such as some bacteria and algae, but conversion between different forms of the vitamin can be accomplished in the human body. A common synthetic form of the vitamin,cyanocobalamin, does not occur in nature, but is used in many pharmaceuticals and supplements, and as a food additive, because of its stability and lower cost. In the body it is converted to the physiological forms, methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin, leaving behind the cyanide, albeit in minimal concentration. More recently, hydroxocobalamin (a form produced by bacteria), methylcobalamin, and adenosylcobalamin can also be found in more expensive pharmacological products and food supplements. The extra utility of these is currently debated.
Vitamin B12 was discovered from its relationship to the disease pernicious anemia, which is an autoimmune disease in which parietal cells of the stomach responsible for secreting intrinsic factor are destroyed. Intrinsic factor is crucial for the normal absorption of B12, so a lack of intrinsic factor, as seen in pernicious anemia, causes a vitamin B12 deficiency. Many other subtler kinds of vitamin B12 deficiency and their biochemical effects have since been elucidated.[1]

Ultimately, animals must obtain vitamin B12 directly or indirectly from bacteria, and these bacteria may inhabit a section of the gut which is posterior to the section where B12 is absorbed. Thus, herbivorous animals must either obtain B12 from bacteria in their rumens, or (if fermenting plant material in the hindgut) by reingestion of cecotrope fæces.
Vitamin B12 is found in foods that come from animals, including fish and shellfish, meat (especially liver), poultry, eggs, milk, and milk products.[1] Eggs are often mentioned as a good B12 source, but they also contain a factor that blocks absorption.[53] Certain insectssuch as termites contain B12 produced by their gut bacteria, in a way analogous to ruminant animals.[54] An NIH Fact Sheet lists a variety of food sources of vitamin B12.[1]
While lacto-ovo vegetarians usually get enough B12 through consuming dairy products, vegans will lack B12 unless they consume B12-containing dietary supplements or B12-fortified foods. Examples of fortified foods include fortified breakfast cereals, fortified soy products, fortified energy bars, and fortified nutritional yeast. According to the UK Vegan Society, the present consensus is that any B12 present in plant foods is likely to be unavailable to humans because B12 analogues can compete with B12 and inhibit metabolism.[55][56]
Claimed sources of B12 that have been shown to be inadequate or unreliable through direct studies[57] of vegans include laver (aseaweed), barley grass, and human intestinal bacteria (human colonic bacteria produce B12, but it cannot be absorbed from the colon).[58]
Vitamin B9 (folic acid and folate inclusive) is essential to numerous bodily functions. The human body needs folate to synthesize DNA, repair DNA, and methylate DNA as well as to act as a cofactor in biological reactions involving folate.[7] It is especially important in aiding rapid cell division and growth, such as in infancy and pregnancy. Children and adults both require folic acid to produce healthy red blood cells and prevent anemia.[8]
Folate and folic acid derive their names from the Latin word folium (which means "leaf"). Leafy vegetables are a principal source, although in Western diets fortified cereals and bread may be a larger dietary source.[citation needed]

Sources

Certain foods are very high in folate:
§  Legumes such as dried or fresh beans, peas and lentils
§  Egg yolks.[71]
§  Fortified grain products (pasta, cereal, bread); some breakfast cereals (ready-to-eat and others) are fortified with 25% to 100% of the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for folic acid
§  Liver and liver products also contain high amounts of folate
§  Kidney[71]
Moderate amounts:
§  Certain fruits (orange juice, canned pineapple juice, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, grapefruit juice, banana, raspberry, grapefruit and strawberry) and vegetables (beets, corn, tomato juice, vegetable juice, broccoli, brussels sprouts, romaine lettuce and bok choy),[72] beer.[73]
A table of selected food sources of folate and folic acid can be found at the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference.[74] Folic acid is added to grain products in many countries, and, in these countries, fortified products make up a significant source of the population's folic acid intake.[75] Because of the difference in bioavailability between supplemented folic acid and the different forms of folate found in food, the dietary folate equivalent (DFE) system was established. 1 DFE is defined as 1 μg of dietary folate, or 0.6 μg of folic acid supplement. This is reduced to 0.5 μg of folic acid if the supplement is taken on an empty stomach.[76]
Folic acid naturally found in food is susceptible to high heat and ultraviolet light, and is soluble in water.[77] It is heat-labile in acidic environments and may also be subject to oxidation.[77]
Some meal replacement products do not meet the folate requirements as specified by the RDAs.[78]
Plant sources
While plants are generally a good source of vitamin C, the amount in foods of plant origin depends on the precise variety of the plant, soil condition, climate where it grew, length of time since it was picked, storage conditions, and method of preparation.[150]
The following table is approximate and shows the relative abundance in different raw plant sources.[151][152][153] As some plants were analyzed fresh while others were dried (thus, artifactually increasing concentration of individual constituents like vitamin C), the data are subject to potential variation and difficulties for comparison. The amount is given in milligrams per 100 grams of fruit or vegetable and is a rounded average from multiple authoritative sources:

                                                      Rose hips are a particularly rich 
                                                      source of vitamin C.
Ascorbate (an ion of ascorbic acid) is required for a range of essential metabolic reactions in all animals and plants. It is made internally by almost all organisms although notable mammalian group exceptions are most or all of the order chiroptera (bats), guinea pigs, capybaras, and one of the two majorprimate suborders, the Anthropoidea (Haplorrhini) (tarsiers, monkeys and apes, including human beings). Ascorbic acid is also not synthesized by some species of birds and fish. All species that do not synthesize ascorbate require it in the diet. Deficiency in this vitamin causes the disease scurvy in humans.[2][3][4] It is also widely used as a food additive.
The uses[clarification needed] and recommended daily intake of vitamin C are matters of ongoing debate, with RDI ranging from 45 to 95 mg/day.


Vitamin D is a group of fat-soluble secosteroids. In humans vitamin D is unique both because it functions as a prohormone and because when sun exposure is adequate, the body can synthesize it (as vitamin D3). When synthesized in the kidneys, calcitriol circulates as a hormone, regulating the concentration of calcium and phosphate in the bloodstream and promoting the healthy growth and remodeling of bone. Vitamin D prevents rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults, and, together with calcium, helps to protect older adults from osteoporosis. Vitamin D also affects neuromuscular function, inflammation, and influences the action of many genes that regulate theproliferation, differentiation and apoptosis of cells.[2]
In some countries, staple foods are artificially fortified with vitamin D.[45] Dietary sources of vitamin D include:[2]

  • Fatty fish species, such as:
    • Catfish, 85 g (3 oz) provides 425 IU (5 IU/g)
    • Salmon, cooked, 100 g (3.5 oz) provides 360 IU (3.6 IU/g)
    • Mackerel, cooked, 100 g (3.5 oz), 345 IU (3.45 IU/g)
    • Sardines, canned in oil, drained, 50 g (1.75 oz), 250 IU (5 IU/g)
    • Tuna, canned in oil, 100 g (3.5 oz), 235 IU (2.35 IU/g)
    • Eel, cooked, 100 g (3.5 oz), 200 IU (2.00 IU/g)
  • A whole egg provides 20 IU if egg weighs 60 g (0.33 IU/g)
  • Beef liver, cooked, 100 g (3.5 oz), provides 15 IU (0.15 IU/g)
  • Fish liver oils, such as cod liver oil, 1 Tbs. (15 ml) provides 1360 IU (90.6 IU/ml)
  • UV-irradiated mushrooms and yeast are the only known vegan significant sources of vitamin D from food sources.[46][47] Exposure of portabella mushrooms to UV provides an increase of vitamin D content in an 100-g portion (grilled) from about 14 IU (0.14 IU/g non-exposed) to about 500 IU (5 IU/g exposed to UV light).[48]



Vitamin E is used to refer to a group of fat-soluble compounds that include both tocopherols and tocotrienols.[1]
α-Tocopherol is an important lipid-soluble antioxidant. It performs its functions as antioxidant in what is known by the glutathione peroxidase pathway[9] and it protects cell membranes from oxidation by reacting with lipid radicals produced in the lipid peroxidation chain reaction.[10][7] This would remove the free radical intermediates and prevent the oxidation reaction from continuing. The oxidized α-tocopheroxyl radicals produced in this process may be recycled back to the active reduced form through reduction by other antioxidants, such as ascorbate, retinol or ubiquinol.[11] However, the importance of the antioxidant properties of this molecule at the concentrations present in the body are not clear and it is possible that the reason why vitamin E is required in the diet is unrelated to its ability to act as an antioxidant.[12] Other forms of vitamin E have their own unique properties; for example, gamma-tocopherol is a nucleophile that can react with electrophilic mutagens.[13]
Moreover, vitamin E also plays a role in neurological functions,[19] and inhibition of platelet aggregation[20][21][22] and it has even been suggested that the most important function of vitamin E is as a signaling molecule, and that it has no significant role in antioxidant metabolism.[23][24
The following foods are rich in vitamin E:[33]
Those Medicines Which May Decrease Memory Power of Brain
Anticholinergics:
An anticholinergic agent is a substance that blocks the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the central and the peripheral nervous system. An example of an anticholinergic is dicycloverine, and the classic example is atropine. Anticholinergics are administered to reduce the effects mediated by acetylcholine on acetylcholine receptors in neurons through competitive inhibition. Therefore, their effects are reversible.
Anticholinergics are a class of medications that inhibit parasympathetic nerve impulses by selectively blocking the binding of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine to its receptor in nerve cells. The nerve fibers of the parasympathetic system are responsible for the involuntary movements of smooth muscles present in the gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, lungs, etc. Anticholinergics are divided into three categories in accordance with their specific targets in the central and/or peripheral nervous system: antimuscarinic agents, ganglionic blockers, and neuromuscular blockers.
Possible effects in the central nervous system resemble those associated with delirium, and may include:
§  Confusion
§  Disorientation
§  Agitation
§  Euphoria or dysphoria
§  Respiratory depression
§  Memory problems[3]
§  Inability to concentrate
§  Wandering thoughts; inability to sustain a train of thought
§  Incoherent speech
§  Wakeful myoclonic jerking
§  Unusual sensitivity to sudden sounds
§  Illogical thinking
§  Photophobia
§  Visual disturbances
§  Visual, auditory, or other sensory hallucinations[3]
ALSO LINKED to orthostatic hypotention (sudden dropping of systolic blood pressure when standing up suddenly) and significantly increased risk of falls in the elderly population. [Ref:http://lifeline.theonlinelearningcenter.com/SCOframe.aspx ]

 

Remedies:

The current recommended treatment is symptomatic and supportive management.

Piracetam, Alpha-GPC and Choline (and other racetams) are known to activate cholinergic system and alleviate cognitive symptoms caused by extended use of anticholinergic drugs.

Remember, a sudden onset of memory impairment (acute confusional state) probably represents a delirium and not a dementia. Toxic effects of medication or illness most commonly cause delirium. If you suspect that you or a loved one is experiencing delirium, get to the hospital immediately.

In general , any medication that has a sedating side effect can impair memory. Shortly we will provide a list of some of these medications. It is a good idea to check with your physician or pharmacist to see if any of the medications that you are on may be effecting your memory.

We will complete this chapter with a list of medicines that have been identified as possibly causing memory impairment (Physician’s Drug Reference 2001; Sabiston 1997; Preston et al. 1999). They are listed alphabetically by trade name, but generic names are included in parenthesis. We have also broken down the drugs into broad categories of use (what they are used to treat). Remember, any type of tranquilizer or sleeping pill is probably going to have some direct effect on memory functioning. Also keep in mind that many other drugs can impair memory functioning indirectly by causing other symptoms that eventually lead to memory impairment. Medicines that may cause depression, insomnia or change in glucose levels are examples of such medications. Now let’s look at some of the specific medications that have been identified as possibly causing memory impairment. Use the following lists to compare your current medications or new medications that you receive –

Are you currently taking any of these medications?
If you are on one of the above medications and feel that you are having difficulty with your memory, then consult your physician. The medication may be at least partially responsible for your memory difficulties. We all have different tolerance levels to different substances. What might be toxic for you may be an adequate dose for another. It may not be necessary for you to stop taking the medication. A simple adjustment in your prescription may prove to greatly reduce its side effects.

Now, we will look at some medications that have been identified as occasionally causing delirium. Delirium usually has a rapid onset and characterized by severe confusion. One of the leading cause of delirium in older adults is adverse reactions to medications.

 Some Foods and Beverages That Decrease Memory Power of Brain
It is by logic that we prove, but by intuition that we invent. - Henri Poincare
Hard -drink and Beer:
How many brain cells does one beer kill or damage? Chances are good that drinking just one beer won’t kill any. Getting drunk probably won’t even kill any brain cells. Alcohol can cause a temporary chemical imbalance and structural changes. If you are an alcoholic or you frequently “drink too much alcohol,” you will most likely kill or damage brain cells (neuron). 
There are mostly two diseases from alcohol -
1. Wernicke's Syndrome
2. Korsakoff's Syndrome


Cigarettes, Khaini and Pan (betel): 
                               Don't take over dose.

Prof. (Dr.) Sneh Bhargava, Ex-Director AIIMS, Head of Dept – Radio-Imaging Services and In-charge of Tobacco Cessation Clinic, Dharamshila Hospital And Research Centre says, “A cigarette is a toxic syringe. A burning cigarette is the devils own chemical factory. Cigarettes contain cancer causing tumour initiators and toxic agents including Nicotine, Tar, Arsenic, NH3CO2, Hydrogen Cyanide, Formaldehyde, Asbestos, PO2O2IO, Cyanide, Lead, DDT, Acetaldehyde. Within seconds after tobacco smoke is inhaled some 4800 toxic byproducts are absorbed into the blood stream and transported to every cell of the smokers body. A cigarette “hits” you very quickly, more quickly than any other drug taken by mouth. First puff hits in 5 seconds while alcohol and Marihuana take 15-20 minutes."
The first puff reaches the brain in 7 seconds. In 7 seconds when nicotine reaches the brain it stimulates the release of a neuro chemical Dopamine and Nor Adrenaline leading to a pleasurable feeling and enhanced energy and alertness. This increases with every cigarette smoked into the lungs and one becomes an addict and established smoker in the nurturance of these Dopamine surges.
“People think smoking / chewing gives them a lift & improves alertness and energy, is pleasant and relaxing and gives them company when they are alone but do not realize that they are entering into the most dreadful addiction known to mankind, which is all physiologically, psychologically and socially addictive – turning them into an addict,” she adds.

Passive Smoking is worse than puffing because it affects non smokers and results in inhaling of nicotine and other carcinogens while not smoking themselves but being affected by it because someone near and dear smokes. Passive smokers become the victims and have to pay for it, resulting in miscarriages, premature deliveries, low birth weight babies, sudden infant deaths and attention deficient disorders in children, a variety of respiratory diseases and cancers just as if the victim was the active smoker.
Tobacco chewing is equally dangerous. Gutka, pan masala, khaini and zarda are some of the tobacco products which are implicated in the recent rise in the incidence of oral submucus fibrosis – which has a high rate of malignant transformation and is extremely debilitating and has no known cure, but is preventable. India has a high burden of sub-mucos fibrosis and oral cancer accounting for 1/3rd of the world burden. It is one of the leading causes of cancers at five leading sites in both sexes. The rate of growth of “gutka” chewing has over taken that of smoking forms of tobacco. It has attracted the younger generation more than the older. Wider availability and affordability has even attracted women and made it easier for them to become nicotine addicts by chewing tobacco without attracting social sanction. The rising rates of cancer lung in women in India is proof of its long term harmful effects. The falling rates of lung cancer in USA and Europe are proof of the effective control methods used for tobacco consumption in these countries because of the awareness and cooperation of the citizenry. We can also do the same. The rising rates amongst the young in India is cause for deep concern – “Save the Youth” is our slogan.

Coffee and Tea ( take a limit 1 to 2 cup per day):
Tea and coffee both contain the stimulating substance caffeine, but only tea contains both caffeine and tannin. The presence of these chemical compounds together in tea leaves allows tea to act as a calming or exciting agent.
But King Gustav III of Sweden (1746-1792) Proved that tea and coffee both are harmless.


White sugar:

Indeed, the study proves what every parent already knows. Serve soda and candy at a children’s birthday party and you’ll get loud, hyperactive behaviour followed by tears and tantrums.
It works like this: Blood-sugar levels jump suddenly after you eat sugar, which initially gives you a burst of fresh energy. But then your blood sugar falls, and you become lethargic and sleepy. In an attempt to prevent blood-sugar levels from falling too low, your body produces adrenalin, which makes you irritable and explosive.


Aluminium And Silver Foil :In those without allergies, aluminium is not as toxic as heavy metals, but there is evidence of some toxicity if it is consumed in excessive amounts.[67In very high doses, aluminium can cause neurotoxicity, and is associated with altered function of the blood-brain barrier.[66] A small percentage of people are allergic to aluminium and experience contact dermatitis, digestive disorders, vomiting or other symptoms upon contact or ingestion of products containing aluminium, such as deodorants or antacids.
According to The Alzheimer's Society, the overwhelming medical and scientific opinion is that studies have not convincingly demonstrated a causal relationship between aluminium and Alzheimer's disease.[77] Nevertheless, some studies, such as those on the PAQUID cohort,[78] cite aluminium exposure as a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease.


Vark, Varak, Varakh or Varq (Hindi: वरख [ˈʋərk]) is a foil of very pure silver used for garnishing Indian sweets. The silver is edible, though flavorless. Large quantities of ingested elemental silver can cause argyria, but the use of varakh is not considered harmful to the body, since the quantities involved in normal use are minuscule.[1] This however is only true as long as the foil contains only high purity silver. One study has found that about 10% of the foils found in the Indian market were made of aluminium. Of the tested foils, 46% of the samples were found to have the desired purity requirement of 99.9% silver, whereas the rest of the 54% were substandard with some even containing toxic cadmium.[2]
Vark is made by pounding silver into a sheet a few micrometres thick, and backed with paper for support; this paper is peeled away before use. It is extremely brittle and breaks into smaller pieces if touched. Vark sheets are laid or rolled over Indian sweets made from dates, nuts and various fruit and vegetable based rolls or sheet candies.
Vegetarian lobbyists claim that vark is hammered between layers of animal fat or hide and is thus a non-vegetarian product. However, there are certain vegetarian options of vark available in markets.

Deep fried foods And Oily/ Fatty Fast Foods:

Scientific research has found another cancer-causing substance called acrylamide, in foods cooked at high temperatures, whether with or without fats.


While many of us know that fast foods are bad, we don't know just "how bad" they are, to stop taking them.

So, always use germ-free boiled foods mostly.
Use fresh soups. Don't eat raw and junk food. Such as raw meat (uncooked meat), eggs, dry meat etc.

Long-term Diseases Decrease Memory Power of Brain:
Such as Thyroid Hormone Disorders, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Cancer, Headache, Heart problem, Lung problem, Kidney problem etc.
