Improve your memory - The How to Guide

2009-08-02T17:02:00.004+01:00

How to start bettering your memory

It will be cool to actually remember all the names of the people we meet or recite from memory all of the books that we have read. But not all people are blessed with a photographic memory that can capture a lot of data. The most that most people can do is to remember about 50 percent of the details in the books that they have read and recall about 10 names in the 50 people they meet. But hey, this does not mean that we should all give up wanting to make our memory better.

Although we cannot actually make our memory as powerful as one with a photographic memory, we can at least improve its processes so that we can recall more names than we usually do. This is especially true with people who are already aging. As we grow older, our memory slips. This is why most of our grandfathers and mothers often forget a lot of things, even our names.

Below are some names on how to make your memory a little bit better. Read on and you might still be able to do something with that faulty memory of yours.

1. Start early
It is important to take care of the brain early on to avoid forgetfulness when old age comes. Brain development starts at a very young age, from 0-3 years old. It is during this time when your brain grows the fastest. Although you may not have any power over your parents actions during this time, you can at least add to their care when you are much older, say 6 or 7 years old, by eating the right foods and avoiding as you grow old vices like cigarettes and alcohol which are proven to lessen memory skills.

2. Commit to the improvement
You should at least be able to commit to the task of bettering your memory. You may not realize it but it is not as simple as memorizing a grocery list and practicing your brain with crossword puzzles and memory games; you will also be changing the way you live your life and the food that you eat. Changing your lifestyle and your diet takes a lot of gumption and self-discipline from you. You will not be able to do it if you do not commit wholeheartedly to the task.

3. Practice
Use your brain. Whether it is something as simple as reading a book or playing a strategy game like chess, exercising your brain will help keep those neurons awake and working. In fact, studies have shown that those who answer crossword puzzles, read or generally use their brains will less likely become senile or acquire Alzheimer’s Disease. Using your brain will prevent it from being rusty and dusty.

4. Visualize it
One of the most common techniques to improve memory is to visualize words and things. You see, the brain sees data as pictures. It will be easily stored and faster to retrieve if it is seen and visualized as one picture than when it is memorized as numbers or words. For instance, if you are trying to memorize a grocery list, you do not memorize the words. You memorize the pictures of the things that you need to buy. That way, when you go to the grocery store, you will remember to buy that item, bettering your memory in the process.

aloe Vera ~ Nature's Miracle Plant

2007-12-09T14:25:00.000Z

One Aloe user's encounter with Aloe Vera and the health benefits.

Many of us have heard of aloe Vera, but do we know of its amazing healing properties? Thousands of years ago – in fact, the earliest references to it were discovered with an Egyptian mummy dating back to 1550 BC; also, Alexander the Great used aloe Vera to restore the health of his troops and Cleopatra relied on it to help preserve her legendary beauty – aloe vera was being used as a natural health and beauty product, but it’s not been until relatively recent times that we have ‘rediscovered’ this wonderful plant commercially.

Nowadays, more and more people are turning to natural alternatives alongside the traditional route of being prescribed drugs by our doctors for certain conditions such as arthritis, eczema, IBS, allergies (like hay fever and asthma, for example), back pain, skin disorders, digestive disorders and so on. The natural health and nutrition market is a vastly growing one.

So, how is your health? Are you feeling tired, run down, stressed out – no energy? Do you suffer from Eczema, Psoriasis, Fibromyalgia, Acne Rosacea, Colitis, Diverticulitis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)? Would you like to sleep better and rise feeling refreshed? Do you suffer from pulled muscles or joint pain when you exercise? How about clearer skin, shiny hair and stronger nails? Some people have allergies such as Hay Fever, Sinusitis, Asthma, Bronchitis? Perhaps you suffer from Back Pain, Arthritis, Frozen Shoulder, Bursitis, Crohn’s Disease or the side effects of cancer treatment? Most people, if they’re honest about their health, can probably answer yes to at least some of those questions above. Have you considered taking aloe vera gel drinks as part of your daily nutritional regime? I did and this is what it’s done for me. Let me tell you my story.
For over 12 years I suffered with severe back pain, caused through pregnancy, which left me collapsed on the floor twice due to the pain. I tried every medical option, from acupuncture to physiotherapy and chiropractic therapy to osteopathy; I even tried the more alternative methods such as spiritual healing and Reiki – but I still couldn't’t easily get out of bed each morning, I couldn't’t walk for long distances; I couldn't’t carry heavy bags; but the worse thing was that when my daughters were babies I couldn't’t comfortably get down on the floor to play with them – everything I did was a real effort and my back was ‘killing’ me constantly. I hasten to add I was not overweight but I was generally fit and healthy, but still this debilitating pain plagued my life. That's when I was introduced to Aloe vera. The best variety is Aloe Barbadensis Miller. It is a natural detoxifier, cleanser and anti-inflammatory, as well as boosting your energy levels, balancing your immune system and, to top it all, it’s naturally highly nutritious, being packed full of 75 nutrients.

The products I was then introduced to come from the largest grower and producer of aloe vera in the world (they also have the world’s largest bee colony, being the size of the M25 motorway! They produce a range of 100% natural organically grown health and nutrition products based on aloe vera and bees – their nutritional supplements and honey/bee products come from bees in the pristine high Sonoran desert of Arizona - U.S.A.. Being 25 years old, the company is well established, operates in over 100 countries worldwide and has a global turnover of $1.77 billion. Its 100% pure, cold stabilised aloe vera gel health drinks are created from a patented process and have received the Aloe Science Council Seal of Approval for purity, the Islamic Seal of Approval, and is rated Kosher. Naturally, none of the products are tested on animals. In fact, many products are as equally suitable for animals as they are humans.

Within three weeks of taking the aloe vera gel drink my back pain had disappeared completely, and seven months later it has never returned! I have gone from struggling out of bed every morning and hobbling across the bedroom, unable to do basic ‘jobs’ like gardening and going on long walks (much to my husband’s disappointment but probably my children’s delight!) to now enjoying every moment of doing ‘normal’ things easily and without any pain whatsoever. Now, for about £25 per month, my life has changed immensely. Article by Julie Buck

Aloe vera helps with ulcers

2007-12-01T10:01:00.000Z

BBC News on Aloe Vera

A gel made from the herb aloe vera may help to treat and prevent stomach and intestinal ulcers.
A team from the Barts and London, Queen Mary's School of Medicine and Dentistry have carried out tests which show that the herb has a beneficial effect on the production of substances which help boost the healing process in cases of ulceration in the gut.
The researchers believe aloe vera could be particularly valuable in treating ulcers caused as a side effect of taking anti-inflammatory NSAID drugs.

The aloe vera gel was tested on a culture of gastric cells at a concentration that is likely to be found in the stomach after swallowing a dose.
Aloe has been recognised as a painkiller, and since ancient times it has been used to treat burns.
It has also been used to treat other skin conditions such as scrapes, sunburns and insect bites.
Aloe is also a common ingredient in cosmetics and lotions because it naturally balances the pH of the skin.

Internally, it has been used as a mild laxative. There is also some evidence to suggest that it might enhance the functioning of the immune system.

Irritable bowels
Researchers at Morriston Hospital, Swansea, are conducting trials to establish whether aloe vera is an effective treatment for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Gastroenterologist Professor John Williams told BBC News Online: "IBS the most common condition we see and the most difficult to treat.
"It is entirely benign, but extremely troublesome for people who have it.
"We have some anecdotal evidence that aloe vera may help, but we need to know if this is genuine effect, or simply linked to the fact that the condition improves and then relapses."
Results on the IBS trial, in which approximately 250 people will take part, will not be known for two years.

The research was presented at a meeting of the British Society of Gastroenterology.

Aloe Plant Offers More than Just Relief from Sunburns

2007-10-19T10:28:00.000+01:00

Aloe Vera

The aloe plant is one of the world's oldest and most frequently used natural supplements. Aloe juice, gel, and leaves have played a role in medicine since the 4th century B.C., when ancient Greek doctors obtained it from Arab traders for its healing properties. Using aloe topically gained popularity in the United States in the 1930s, with reports of its success in soothing x-ray burns. Today, the aloe plant is used in the production of a wide range of products created to treat what ails you, from digestive tract issues to mouth ulcers.

Aloe: Then and Now
Christopher Columbus once said, "Four vegetables are indispensable for the well-being of man: Wheat, the grape, the olive and aloe. The first nourishes him, the second raises his spirit, the third brings him harmony, and the fourth cures him." Many people would agree with Columbus that the aloe plant is worth keeping around for its bountiful benefits. It is one of nature's most useful plants, and one that people have been turning to for centuries.

Today, aloe juice and aloe leaves continue to be a natural, reliable ingredient in both topical and ingested formulas designed to promote wellness. Aloe vera gel is the most commonly known form of aloe, and is used in skin lotions and sun blocks for its ability to protect skin. The aloe gel is the thin, clear jelly-like substance that comes from within the leaves and is used to treat minor skin irritations, burns and eczema. The gel has agents that control pain and inflammation and helps to repair damaged cells. The emollient effect of the gel is due to the polysaccharides, or long chains of sugar, contained in the gel. It is theorized that aloe's anti-inflammatory effect may result from blockage of the conversion of histidine to histamine as a result of the inhibition of histidine decarboxylase. Wound healing is believed to result from increased blood flow to the wounded area.

Aloe juice, aloe gel, aloe vera and other derivatives of the aloe plant have supported the health of people from all over the world throughout history. Known mainly for its ability to soothe sunburns or minor pains, the botanical is a precious resource that can be used to treat an extensive range of ailments, including many digestive problems. Aloe, a plant recognized for its unique properties for centuries, will no doubt play a significant role in consumers' health well into the 21st century.

Aloe Skin Care

For anyone who has suffered from dry irritated skin you will know that itching and dryness happens at anytime such as after a shower, swimming, exercising or by using something on the skin that your sensitive to. I had all these and it drove me mad. I went to doctors, dermatologists who all said I had Acne, so I used products to help combat this problem some prescribed others over the counter products but nothing worked. After a dermatology test I found out that I had Dermatitis as well as sensitive skin which meant that I had to be careful with products that I used. Perfume, ingredients and abrasiveness of most products are all irritants/triggers for my skin.
After trying various products and medications aimed at my skin problem I was told about ‘Aloe Vera’, so I tried using the actual gel from the plant on my skin and it worked relief was almost instant and there was a cooling element to the gel that felt great. However, if your familiar with this plant you will know it’s not the best smells and not easy to store.
I started looking at products with ‘Aloe Vera’ as a base ingredient and finally found Forever Living. They’re claim is that they use 100% stabilised Aloe Vera as the main or only ingredient in their products which is great news. I have used the Aloe Shower Gel, Aloe Moisturising Lotion and the Aloe Gel as part of my skin care regime and it does work. The shower gel is so rich and concentrated that you don’t need to use a lot and your skin feels smooth and nourished instantly. Combined with the Aloe Drink which works from the inside out, my skin, especially my back it feels great and looks and feels less irritated.
If you’re fed up of dry irritating skin and don’t know what to do to relieve it then try Forever Living. I am so confident with these products and their results that I have started to pass the word on to my family and friends to try and I have now set up Aloe Health to make these wonderful products available to as many people as possible. Aloe Health has a full range of Forever Living products that are not available in stores or on the High Street. You can request free samples of product or your can try for 60 days and if you’re not satisfied you can request your money back guaranteed.
