The disease known as Alzheimer’s Disease is characterized by dementia which typically begins with poorly recognized memory which slowly becomes more incapacitating. The most common characteristics associated with AD include confusion, poor judgement, language disturbance, agitation, withdrawal, as well as hallucinations. The typical clinical duration of the disease is eight to ten years, but it can range from one to 25 years. The clinical diagnosis of AD, based on signs of slowly progressive dementia and findings of gross cerebral cortical atrophy on neuroimaging, is correct approximately 80%-90% of the time. Three forms of early-onset familial AD (EOFAD) – caused by mutation of one of three genes (APP, PSEN1, PSEN2) – are recognized. It is important to note that no cure for Alzheimer’s currently exists, and the drugs currently available to treat the disease have limited effectiveness. It is believed that therapeutic intervention that could postpone the onset or progression of Alzheimer’s disease would dramatically reduce the number of cases in the next 50 years. Ayurvedic medicinal plants have been the single most productive source of leads for the development of drugs, and over a hundred new products are already in clinical development. Indeed, several scientific studies have described the use of various Ayurvedic medicinal plants and their constituents for treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. There have been several scientific studies, that have described the use of various Ayurvedic medicinal plants termed ‘nervines’ and their constituents to strengthen the functional activity of the nervous system and restoration of memory [8,9]. Phytochemical studies have shown the presence of many valuable compounds, such as lignans, flavonoids, tannins, polyphenols, triterpenes, sterols, and alkaloids, that show a wide spectrum of pharmacological activities,...

“Mind over matter what matters.” -The Grouch (Hip-Hop Rapper) In life you have three guarantees a body, a mind, and soul that you’re born with into this world. Unless you had an unfortunate accident that occurred that inhibits your ability to use your body and mind, we all have an incredible gift and potential that we should all be extremely grateful for. The body and mind can accomplish miraculous feats when you set your vision high. What most people fail to recognize is that the way a person uses both body and mind are not guaranteed to be effective. The biggest issue in our modern day technological age, is that a lot of people have become so lazy that they’ve forgotten how to fully utilize and engage both the mind and body. Despite the massive amount of distractions that our world has, it is still greatly dependent upon our mental growth of humanity as well as our general health and well-being of our bodies. If we happened to love people as much as we love technology, there wouldn’t be a disease left in this world. If people don’t find a way to get back to their true nature as human-beings, we easily become puppet slaves to our rapidly expanding technology that now controls many peoples minds and therefore lives. Although there is benefit with our modern down technology that helps make our lives easier and more productive in certain ways, we have all simultaneously become more disconnected in our modern living. The physical closeness to one another hasn’t changed but our mental and spiritual connections have become more distant....

It is important to live life without a feeling of regret and to not become impatient when things don’t always go your way. When you don’t get an instantaneous result, just remember that all good things take time to develop and take form. Many times life may require a 7 day a week work ethic in order to get ahead and make dreams a reality. If you work very hard, but still feel like you’re falling short of your goals whether dietary, financial, fitness, relationship, or spiritual goals, remember that success doesn’t come overnight. It takes a desire to change as well as persistence each and every day dedicated to a specific goal. It’s not always what you learn in school, but what you are able to take from it and how you apply what you learn. Whether it be life skills that you can use and utilize in daily life or knowledge applicable for any profession. Remember, never say that you can’t do something until you put your full effort into truly trying something. Don’t neglect knowledge, always keep on learning and refining your skills. Focus on helping the world with a re-generation of health, vibrancy, and potential to thrive. Below is a list of quotes that I have held and written down that may help to potentially revolutionize your life: “Anyone who stops learning is old, whether twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep the mind young.” -Henry Ford (Entrepreneur, Businessman, Industrialist) “You can’t measure spirit, but you know it’s there it is something that moves you.”...

Often times in modern day advertising campaigns that run on websites and commercials, there are brain supplements and hoopla surrounding people. A lot of these advertisements are trying to sell us these modern day magical pills. What I’m going to talk about in this post is something that is highly underestimated for overall brain health and mental clarity, it’s sleep! Getting enough adequate sleep on a day to day basis is something that is not always obtainable for every person depending upon job commitments and having a busy schedule. The key to fixing the issue is to re-arrange priorities and scheduling throughout the day in order to have an earlier bed time and eliminate things that are preventing you from obtaining enough sleep on a weekly basis. By getting enough sleep it can positively affect learning in students and business people alike. Studies show that sleep plays a very important role in learning, memory, mood, motivation, judgement, and perception. When you think about learning, it makes sense that sleep would impact one’s ability to focus and stay on task for a long duration of time. If you think about being sleep deprived, it greatly impairs one’s ability to learn and complete tasks in an efficient manner. This is primarily due to our cognitive domains being dependent upon a normal night’s sleep in order to have efficient working memory. It makes sense when you compare the role of sleep with learning and memory since they are both dependent upon each other. In fact, further research proves that sleep is necessary for short-term memory, long-term memory, and working memory. The earliest...

If you haven’t heard of Dan S. Kennedy, he happens to be a business guru who helps other people across the globe start their own small businesses through his books, seminars, and teachings. He also happens to operate a website GKIC which offers packages for mentoring aspiring owners and operators. His approach is pretty direct and he happens to have some of the best advice on success in the business world that I’ve found among business authors. One of his books happens to share a lot of wisdom on how to develop a better mindset, which is my aim with this specific post. In order to give readers an idea of how Dan S. Kennedy can help improve your outlook towards the future whether it be through a job or a business, I felt like sharing some of his quotes. Listed below, is a composition of some of his best quotes from the book “How to Succeed In Business By Breaking All The Rules.” Here they are: “Shake Things up. Try doing the opposite and see if that works even better.” “Give in charity but never give in business. Place the highest possible value on your expertise and confidently present that value to the world.” “If you have a good education, by all means make the most of it. But never use a lack of formal education as an excuse and never let yourself feel inferior to those with better formal educations.” “What others perceive as arrogance may very well be the level of confidence, self-promotion, and pushiness necessary.” “Be wary of the “quitter” label. Rethink your ideas about...
