Improving Your Brain Health

Jim Kwik is the founder of Kwik Learning. He’s taught memory improvement, speed-reading, and accelerated learning skills for almost two decades. He recently spoke with Shawn Stevenson at www.bewellbuzz.com about how to improve one’s ability to remember or locate anything.

Latest scientific research has shown that lifestyle and certain exercises can improve the health of your brain , no matter what age you are! This is due to neuroplasticity which allows the neurons (nerve cells) in the brain to change their connection to compensate for injury or disease, and to adjust their activities in response to new situations or to changes in their environment.

The amazing thing about this discovery is that our brain health is now completely in our hands. Outside a nutritious diet there are exercises you can do to strengthen and rework your neural connections. Imagine being able to improve your memory with certain simple techniques.
