How to build your superior_mind with a side-order of anti-aging. I offer this advice based on my current internet findings – so it would be a good idea for us to continue to cross-reference any information we have with as much peer-reviewed material as possible.
—
Video Summary:
Excercise more – minimum 4 minutes of intense cardio – like circuit training for example and maybe 15 – 60 minutes of general cardio every other day (like swimming, biking, running or jump-rope). Proper nutrition – with lots of antioxidants and a good nights sleep. Blueberries, rasberries, strawberries – great for neurogenesis and age prevention. I also recommend including spinach and walnuts in your diet.
So intense cardio will improve oxygen supply to the brain and improve concentration for extended periods of time.
Other muscle resistance excercise will also help stimulate neurogenesis and have an anti-aging effect.
No smoking or drinking – at least try to minimize as much as possible. Alcohol is more destructive than most ppl realize and can effect future offspring.
I advise using pycnogenol which has a very strong anti-aging (or even reverse-aging with proper exercise and diet) effect.
Nutrition – no fried foods, no alcohol, no sweets – reduce glucose dependancy(ie: avoid fries, eat less bread, no cake, etc) and add blue or red colored fruit like blueberries, strawberries, rasberries, etc – to your diet. Also make sure to add foods which contain Omega 3-6-9(like flax, walnuts or tofu). Suppliments are also available(including vegan type supps).
[Side note - ppl who take SSRI antidepressants have been found to have improved memory, organization and reduced stress -- although they are unfortunately not safe to quit taking cold-turkey.]
To keep new neurons and build your superior mind, I stress the importance of engaging in a variety of stimulating(interesting/enjoyable/addictive) activities which require learning, creativity, and logical strategy.
Learning to play an instrument is one of the most recommended ways of doing this. I also suggest composing music you like or any sort of improvisation(like rap or something). Strategy games improve your ability to tackle complex problems quickly which is beneficial to handling real life-problem solving in stressful situations. Programming games, websites, modding(computers, cars, bikes, etc), art, writing, dancing, singing, etc.. Anything that you enjoy which stimulates dentrical connectivity.
Sleep is extremely important! Something I never realized until more recently. This reduces stress, improves focus/concentration, also helps neurogenesis, and heals your body building new muscle tissue(from excercise) – housekeeping basically. Drink a lot of water before you go to sleep, make sure it’s dark and quiet(and not too hot), and try taking melatonin an hour or 2 before you go to bed every few days to keep your sleep schedule in check. (Not too much too often cuz you’ll get used to it and work as well for a while).
Ginko Biloba will also improve blood flow in the brain and help reduce aging.
Eat less and reduce glucose dependancy
Drink green and or black tea.
I must stress the importance of excercising your mind with enjoyable/stimulating hobbies which require extensive use of the elements of your mind that you wish to strengthen the most.
When sleeping you may notice more dreaming(and more realistic) than usual – which is a normal side-effect.
Increased use of the brain and reduced glucose dependancy might make you feel sleepy and taxed at first which is also normal — you’ll adapt.
I find the best way to fire-up your true potential when it’s needed – is to have some toast and peanut-butter(high protein) and a couple cups of coffee.

Fox News On Reseveratrol
Everybody is talking about anti-aging products and the new Resveratrol breakthrough.
The muscadine grape is the only grape with the extra chromosome. How Resveratrol and red wine activate genes for a longer and healthier life.
Dr. Joseph Maroon – The Longevity Factor
You want to purchase the book?
-On Page 193 Dr Maroon writes this on Vivix: There is growing evidence that a
combination of resveratrol and other potent polyphenols might provide
improved health benefits due to the synergistic properties of different
polyphenols from different plant sources. Shaklee Corporation, a direct
selling nutrition company has recently released a product called Vivix,
which is described as a cellular anti-aging tonic. It contains a
multi-source polyphenol blend. In conversations with the company, they state
that the blend includes 100 mg of 98 percent pure resveratrol from Polygonum
cuspidatum long with a proprietary extract derived from the fresh pomace of
muscadine grapes (Vitis rotundifolia) The company recommends 5ml per day of
Vivix, which they state is equivalent to the amount of resveratrol found in
100 glasses of red pinot noir red wine. The muscadine polyphenols in this
blended product along with the added resveratrol, European elderberry
extract, and purple carrot extract will increase the total overall
polyphenol content of this product. A month’s supply will cost a member
$85.00.
In Shaklee’s accompanying literature for Vivix, they state that the
Vivix ingredients were shown in a laboratory study to be 10 times more
powerful in slowing a key mechanism of aging than resveratrol alone.”

Also, on Page 70, the author expands on the value of the muscadine grapes
and the advantages over European grapes. “Muscadine grapes are native to
North America, and may be the only fruit that originated in the United
States and nowhere else. They grow almost exclusively in the southeastern
United Sates.
They thrive under adverse conditions, perhaps due to their thicker and
tougher skins compared to European grapes…. muscadines have an extra
chromosome
(twenty instead of the nineteen other grapes have). These additional genes
allow muscadine grapes to produce a unique phytochemical, ellagic acid.
The ellagive acid polyphenol compounds that are in muscadine grapes are
vitually absent in other grapes. Ellagic acid is used by the muscadine grape
skin to make tannin called ellagotannins, whichis used as an antimicrobial
by the plant. Ellagic acid also has powerful antioxidant and anticancer
properties…. the polyphenols in muscadine grape skins have been shown to
have positive effects in heart disease, high cholesterol, diabetes,
metabolic syndrome, and other inflammatory conditions. One of the more
interesting effects of muscadine products appears to be their inhibition of
AGE protein formation.”

Continuing, the author states:” Recently, a large nutrition, direct selling
company, Shaklee Corporation, working with scientists from the University of
Georgia, has created a product containing an extract made from muscadine
pomace which is the remaining fruit solids after the water content is
extracted.
Specificaly, they are working with muscadine grape growers in order to
secure grapes with large amounts of protective polyphenols including ellagic
acid and resveratrol. By selecting muscadine grapes and by using a whole
grape extraction process, they have reported that their extract has a
significantly higher concentration of healthy polyphenols than found in the
skins themselves.”

The above are excerpts from the book “The Longevity Factor” The author
Joseph Maroon, M.D. FA.C.S. studied medicine at Indiana University, and
Oxford University. Dr Maroon is a world renowned neurosurgeon and former
president of the Congress of Neurological surgeons, the larges society of
its kind in North America. He is currently a professor and Heindl Scholor in
Neuroscience at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Interesting to
note: he is a lifelong athlete, competed in more than fifty triathlons, and’
three Hawaiian Ironman Championship competitions.

The book is heralded as a groundbreaking examination of new scientific
research that holds the secret to weight loss, increased strength,
endurance, memory,and a healthier, longer life.
