Photographic Memory : How To Develop Your Full Brain Potential, Read Faster And Recall More

Article by Tunji Akinseloyin

Why can’t we maintain the brain power we had as children?

There was a time when our memory was at its peak.But as time goes on and as the concerns of life crowd on us, we seem to lose some of the brain power we had as kids, or did we?

The body naturally ages, and that includes the brain too The stress of everyday life takes a toll on our healthInadequate nutrition further compromises our health A Danish study of more than 5,000 adults found that those with adequate Vitamin E levels are 25% less likely to develop Alzheimer’s and dementia Vitamin E, a fat soluble vitamin is believed to prevent the deterioration of signal pathways in the brain. Vitamin E sources include spinach, Swiss chard, sunflower seeds, sunflower oil, mustard greens, almonds,papaya etc. Most of us do not breathe right; did you know experts tell us that by the time we are in our fifties, we would have lost about 40% of our breathing capacity? Even if we were all to breathe right, there is less atmospheric oxygen today than say a century ago. Ocean phytoplankton and trees, the earth’s oyygen generators, are been depleted at an alarming rate, and by implication, carbon dioxide concentration is believed to be increasing. Toxic medication can interfere with proper brain function:Lipitor for instance has been linked to memory and cognitive impairment. Would you believe obesity has also been linked to dementia? A Boston University study found that people with the fattest bellies have 3 times the risk of dementia. New research also shows that obese people have smaller brain size. Small brain size, research shows, is a risk factor for dementia!

What do all these have to do with you, or Brain Fitness?

Everything!

The brain, though 5% of body weight, consumes about 25% of its oxygen supply;in fact brain cells start to die within a few minutes of oxygen deprivation.

That’s why an ongoing research on the Naked Mole Rat, at University of Illinois, Chicago, is very important.

This African rodent may be the most efficient user of oxygen of all known animals. Among its numerous unique characteristics, the brain cells of this rodent survive longer under oxygen deprivation!

But there are techniques for:

Improving brain fitness Protecting yourself from aging brain diseases Developing a photographic memory even with the pressure of everyday life.

Does Man Have Superior Brain Power?

Compared to other animals man probably has the largest brain as a percentage of body weight.But this brain is also only 5% efficient. We use only 5% of our brain power on average!

How can that be? Look at what man has achieved with only 5% brain efficiency, and that’s without a concerted brain fitness program.What tremendous abilities and talents can we unleash with another 5% improvement in brain efficiency!

We are told that locked in the 95% of the brain power we have yet to use are incredible abilities, the surface of which we haven’t even scratched.Our brain is what has helped us survive and dominate other species-after all compared to other animals, man is soft and lazy and his senses are dull. Consider these:

Pound for pound the gorilla is stronger than manYou’ve seen a dog get hit by a car, get up and with a little howl skimp away.A man with such trauma could be in the hospital for weeksWe hardly see in daylight, but some animals such as cats can see in the dark. Bats can even “see” without eyesMigrating birds read the subtle vibrations of the earthSharks can smell a drop of blood a mile awayRemember the Indonesian tsunami? It was reported that hours before the tsunami hit, animals started moving to higher ground. They sensed it.If you lose your cell phone, can you recall all the numbers and names in your contact?

With the right brain fitness training, you can.When it comes to brain efficiency, man is not helpless.

We know from experience that some disciplines can catapult man beyond the constraints of normal abilities. With these modes of interventions, you can supercharge your brain, read and comprehend what you read, and develop a photographic memory.

These disciplines include, but not limited to: Yoga/MeditationMartial ArtsHypnosis/Bio-feedbackSubliminal Mind ProgrammingConstant intellectual StimulationAvoiding toxic medicationsLiving a non-toxic lifestyle-Smoking for instance prevents deep breathing, which reduces available oxygen to the brainKeeping Stress as far away as possibleThe role of proper nutrition in brain function can not be over emphasized. Good nutrition is required for peak brain performance.Despite the scare on mainstream media about cholesterol, would you believe cholesterol is needed by the brain for transmitting electrical signalsOther brain improvement techniques etc.

The memories stored in your brain let you know your way home, recognize your loved ones, navigate life. The brain bookmarks a lot of indicators, landmarks, and associates these with some particular persons, places, and events-in fact a lot of brain improvement training programs incorporate these techniques in their training.

Why is a good memory important?

Well, memory is what makes you, you. That’s why Alzheimer’s disease is very devastating, both to the patient and loved ones.

Your memory is what establishes your identity by itself, in a group, family, country. It defines your associations and relationships. Your memory can even store past experiences, so you can “re-enjoy” them at a later date-a compliment, the feelings of love you feel for your loved ones, the feeling of joy when held by a lover days earlier etc.

A strategy of brain and memory enhancement is even good for business, your social life and survival.

If you ever forget an important date in your woman’s life, you’ll appreciate the need for a good memory. This will get you demoted from the bedroom to the couch. Ouch!

Did you know babies recognize their mothers by smell? The baby associates a particular smell with that of his mother. The baby stores this memory of maternal identification. That’s why the baby stops crying when you hand himto his mother. The baby says to himself:I recognize this person, this is my mother, this is comfort, I am safe!

Did you also know that the first sense to develop in a fetus, is the sense of smell?

So you see, memory does not just involve what we hear. It can also involve what we smell, what we see, or what we experience. A good memory can save your life.

That’s why a brain fitness training program is the greatest gift you can give yourself.
