Gentle cardiovascular workouts:

You can get involved in cardiovascular activities like swimming, cycling or walking. Performing these activities regularly will decrease severity of the migraine headaches. These workouts will promote production of endorphins and thus helps in reducing migraine pain.  However make sure that you use these exercises only as preventive measures. Migraine pain can worsen due to physical activities; so never exercise when you are anticipating a migraine attack and experiencing related symptoms.

Meditation:

As meditation does not involve physical movements, it is regarded as a perfect exercise for migraine relief. According to the experts, meditating during migraine attacks can reduce the pain effectively. The patient will need to sit in an upright position in a dark and quiet room and attempt to calm down his mind. There are several techniques of meditation that you can follow; consult an expert for suggestion on the most effective techniques.

Neck stretch:

This exercise can be done even when the migraine pain is at its peak. Neck stretching generally starts with 5 to 10 repetition of neck stretches, both in the forward and backward direction. This should be followed by gentle neck stretches on the left and right side; one should perform 5 to 10 repetitions of these side stretches. If you are doing the stretches in the right manner, you will feel it along your entire neck. Once the stretches are done, you will have to perform 5 to 10 repetitions of head rotations, from left to right.

Yoga:

You can also perform yoga. Yoga reduces migraine pain by relaxing the mind of the patient and relieving sensory overload. There are several yoga poses that can be done for getting rid of migraine pain; you can perform the easy mountain pose or the comparatively complex triangle pose. Remember, yoga asanas should never be done during rigorous migraine pain; they should be performed as the initial signs of migraine appears.

The brain fitness program must speed up and sharpen the processing of auditory system of the brain, i.e. via which the brain listens. This includes improving the quantity and quality of the material the brain receives through sound signals and interprets them. This is followed by an overall improvement in the processes of listening, thinking, focusing, and usage of memory for storing or discarding the signal.

Your brain fitness program for auditory improvement must include improvement of memory by at least 10 years.  It must speed up the auditory processing by a minimum of 125%.  With the help of this kind of a brain fitness improvement strategy, the received words through sound must be found on the tip of the tongue within no fraction of seconds. A complete ad accurate reminiscence of conversations must be achieved.

To attain a unique level of brain fitness, at least 15 – 20 minute must be spent on each exercise of the brain, which goes up to a maximum of an hour. A regular mental workout can be attained very easily.

What must be the prime targets of a brain fitness program?

• Speeding up the functioning of the brain:
  Every session of a brain fitness program must target on a slow pace beginning of the working of sensory stimuli, and gradually speeding up the retention of the brain for processing any kind of information at higher speeds.
• Improving the accuracy:
  The stimuli must be trained to slow down the important components which are used by the brain to pass signals from one stimuli to another. Thus, the accuracy of the brain is enhanced.
• Strength of recording:
  The brain fitness program must strengthen the machinery of the brain to enable it for making movements to memorize in a stronger and more efficient manner.

The brain fitness program can be given a try, and has proven useful for many cases from children to adults and the aged. People with brain diseases have been benefited the most.

Any kind of sensory stimuli or activity that involves some sort of non-routine action/thought would produce more chemicals in the brain, which are responsible for the growth of neurons and dendrites.

A non-neurobic activity would be like getting off your bed and walking into your bedroom to brush your teeth, even before your body has come to a full state of consciousness. Since this activity is performed in a partial state of consciousness, it isn’t going to stimulate your brain as much.

Characteristics of a neurobic activity –

1. Should involve more than one of your senses in a context that is new to you.
2. Should involve your full attention, even if it can only for a brief period of time.
3. Should be capable of breaking your routine in some (significant) way.

Neurobics needn’t necessarily be complicated. They may not even require you to set aside a special time of the day to indulge in them. In fact, they’re flexible enough to work their way into your normal lives if you focus on the above given characteristics.

Some Examples of Neurobics

Spend time in an environment that is new to you:
You could try going to a park that you’ve never visited before; or make your way to the new store that just opened up 2 blocks away. Travelling, as well, is said to slow down the mental decline that gets associated with age.

Smell new and intriguing odors in the morning:
To achieve this one, you might want to keep a bottle of mint extract handy. Make sure it is the first thing you smell in the morning; and this will help your brain in its process of ‘waking up’.

Break out of the routine clothes pattern:
If you choose to dress differently on a particular day, it’ll also end up affecting the way you think. Don’t believe us? Try it yourself!

Try brushing with the hand which you consider non-dominant:
This isn’t as easy as it sounds, and may be downright difficult early on. The first time you try this, it might require your full attention.

Close your eyes while taking a shower:
If you close your eyes for a while, it automatically encourages all your other senses to become active. A shower, by the way, is known to engage several of your senses.

Learn how to read Braille:
This one might turn out to be downright tough; but it’s worth a shot. If you learn how to read using your fingers, it will be the best way to engage your senses.

Hunt for a new route to your workplace:
This wouldn’t necessarily mean you take a longer route. Sometimes, without knowing it, you might actually stumble upon a route that is, in fact, shorter than the route you were used to taking earlier.

Music, and its underlying intonations, are like manna for the mind and heighten cerebral activity much like physical exercise will enhance the quality of your mind. The aural experience of a foreign language can enhance and improve the way in you communicate in whatever language is in question. It only serves to confirm that which we have known informally for a long time; that music is a universal language and plays a key role in molding an individual’s mind. Music has for long been a part of the curriculum in many a school, but perhaps it can be given an even greater role in the light of this information.

These changes can be put down to a musician’s ear being finely tuned to listen to particular notes and sounds, and all of this at a certain cadence and timing of this at a certain cadence and timing and this can lead to development in the auditory system beyond that which it normally might. It is also noteworthy that this study showed that musicians respond with far greater volumes of activity in their motor and auditory regions when listening to musical pieces than non-musically trained people. These benefits apparently extend to our grasp of speech as well, and it is not hard to see why. Music and speech both code their information in certain pitches and tones, all delivered in a certain form of timing. Both require to be memorized and for you to pay attention to what is going on, and so it is inevitable how one helps the other.

The benefits of this are most noticeable in children, for their minds are most absorbent and show greater neural activity when stimulated and a musical education could help them with learning a new language or enhancing their vocabulary with greater ease. Most interestingly however, it was found to help children with learning disorders who struggle to assimilate new information easily. Their neural processes respond just as strongly as any other normal kids might. This news is heartening and might see musical learning not remain the abode of the privileged alone for long.

Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler in Anger Management.

Every once in a while, we all come across situations like these in our lives where we feel our anger is not the problem, we are. And why not? How much ever you try to stay in check of your anger levels, there’s always something that occurs that prove disastrous; a difficult boss, cranky children, pesky neighbors, a car that won’t start, a check that keeps bouncing. The problems are endless. However, it is necessary to understand, if you haven’t already, that keeping your cool and managing matters diligently is top priority. Not only because it makes life easier, it keeps you healthier.

The biggest harm that anger does to us is that it alters our entire state of mind, in the sense that once we are angry, it takes really long to subside, and often by the time we have cooled down, enough damage has been done. We all come across situations, where our anger is driven to rage and we lose control of our actions. If these situations continue without any change, people soon start avoiding such a person. You would too… wouldn’t you?

Anger, afterall, is a natural emotion, and anything in excess is bad. However, anger management is not too difficult, provided you are ready to face some early glitches, such as not being able to cope. Here are a few anger management tips that you could try for yourself, or suggest to someone who needs them:-

• Learn to breathe, slow and deep: There’s always the feeling of rising tension when we have our heart rate increasing because of heavy breathing. Chill out. Taking a few deep breaths when angry is a integral part of restoring calm. When you breathe easy, your body and mind gets rejuvenated automatically, leading to you feeling better without doing too much.
• Count to ten: This ancient technique of anger management is the most effective. Horace, the great Roman said “when angry count to ten, when very angry to a hundred.” What he probably meant to suggest was take time to understand the reason for the anger and a reasonable solution. We often get angry when we fail to take a moment to tackle the problems at hand.
• Make use of alone time: Life gives us plenty of opportunities to get angry; we get angry at friends, family, children, unknown people, colleagues. We even get frustrated on idleness or burn out and end up getting the anger down on someone else. The solution to this is to take some time out alone for yourself. Go to a ground and run. Go down to a basement and scream. Break something. Beat the hell out of the punching bag. Just make sure that whatever you do, you feel the baggage lighten.
• Cut yourself some slack: It is never easy to settle down to setbacks, or losses or defeats. They always bring us down. However, it is impossible to always stay happy and content. This simply means that if you want to be happy, you need to let things go. Indulge in some hobby you like. Listen to some music. Dance. Do whatever it takes for you to bounce back to the good old, jolly you.
• Look for the silver lining: No situation or cause, however bad, is absolutely lost. Yeah, the grass may seem greener on the other side, but hey, you at least got some grass. You’ll always find people with better things, better lives. However, be thankful for the life you got- a lot of people in the world get a lot lesser.

It is quite obvious from the above given anger management tips that anger management is not such a difficult task. It may seem impossible at first to create opportunities for yourself, to follow some or all of them. However, following these anger management tips are the least you can do to make yourself and a lot many others happy.

Roger. W. Sperry, an American psycho biologist, discovered and developed the concept of two brains- left brain right brain theory. He successfully explained and proved people the exact functioning of brain. It was found out that human brain has two different ways of thinking because of two unlike brain. The right side of the brain concentrates more on visual and images while, the left side of the brain deals with the verbal power. In more simple words, people thinking from left side of the brain are more logistical, objective, and methodical. While, the right brained people are more creative, subjective, and thoughtful.

The Nobel award winner of the year 1981, Roger .W. Sperry revealed, we could lessen the effect of seizures by cutting the corpus, which connects the two hemispheres. The right side of the brain is regarded as wonderful on creative tasks. Right brained people can very easily perform task like expressing emotions, playing musical instruments, recognizing images, faces, and colors, revealing strong intuitive, can read emotions and command on creativity. And the left brained are amazing in logical thinking, questioning, language and numerical subjects, and crucial thinking.

There are lot of difference between right brain and left brain.

The right brained generally has specific characteristics such as:

• Concentrates more on images and visual
• Act according to intuition
• Use mind camera to remember things or write down things
• Checks the whole image and then turn to details
• Lack of organization
• Randomly makes plans
• Difficulty in finding spelling or collecting word
• No punctuality
• Like more to touch and feel
• Never follows instruction before handling any equipment
• Express with hand gestures
• Very creative brain
• Question the rules

While, left brained people possess different characteristics like as:

• More inclination towards verbal, symbols, numbers, and words
• Act according to analytical thinking
• Try to remember with the help of words or names instead of using faces and images
• Makes logical decision
• Performs the task step by step
• Very much organized
• Follow their planning and schedules
• Abide by rules and regulations
• Highly punctual
• Grasp mathematical formulas and numbers easily
• Like to observe
• Avoids the use of hand gestures
• Practical and logistic

We hope this differentiation in characteristics will help you in understanding the brain theory.
