The Brain

I've been waking up pretty late recently. And when I do, my brain seems to work like an offspeed pitch. Sometimes it gets ya and sometimes its just slow. So I wonder, how can I effect my brain to churn out more brainpower? Obviously, going to bed early and getting up early seem to be good ideas. Beyond that, the only thing I know for sure is blueberries. They're supposed to boost memory. I'm gonna find an article to support that right now...Found it!

"Blueberries: - Studies show that diets rich in berries, and most specifically blueberries, greatly improves motor skills and learning capacity. Research also shows that blueberries help reduce the effects of age-related conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and dementia and protect the brain from oxidative stress. The most interesting news is that blueberries not only slow brain decline, they can actually reverse it and improve memory. Wild Blueberries, with regular blueberries behind that, are shown to have the highest antioxidant capacity per serving. Cranberries, blackberries, raspberries and strawberries are also extremely high in brain-boosting benefit. **Recommendation: Add at least 1 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries or other berries a day to your diet."

I've also speculated that if I work out more often and eat the right types and amounts of foods I'll start to perform at a higher level. When I say perform at a higher level, I mean at life in general. Who are some guys that churned out a lot of brainpower? Albert Einstein...Thomas Jefferson...Plato...Socrates...Morons! I wonder what they ate and how they worked out. 'Cause we all know they did. Eat. And work out like dogs. I'm gonna find an article to support this too...Aha! A journal entry from a definite family member!

"I awoke the next morning eager to see what happened. I looked at the crib and found...nothing!!! There was not a trace of pepper paste to be found. There was more wood showing and Mster had pepper flakes all over her face. SHE ATE THE PASTE!!! (oh and all her toys were jammed up against the opposite side of her crib)"

I did not realize Einstein was a girl, but this article is fascinating. A rare childhood account.

Much, much more to learn. I'll do my best to dig up these rare gems.
