Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While growing older is inevitable, many of the troubles we associate with aging--including dementia, disability, and an increased dependence on others--are not. The choices we make now can help us to maintain our vitality, a sharp mind, and our independence as we age. Filled with simple, everyday actions we can take to avoid disease, promote vitality, and prevent dementia and late onset Alzheimer's, The Aging Brain is an easy-to-use guide to maintaining brain and body health throughout our lives. Based on solid, up-to-date scientific research, the interventions explained in this book not only prevent progression toward dementia even in those who have already shown mild cognitive impairment, they also reduce disability and depression and keep people living independently longer than those who do not practice these methods. For anyone hoping to slow the aging process, as well as anyone who acts as a caregiver to someone at risk of or already beginning to suffer from dementia and other age-related diseases, this book offers a hopeful, healthy way forward.

Download or read book Mind Your Thoughts Activate Your Healing written by Rev. Linda Ruth Greene and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-10-28 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is it that in today's society, with all the modern advancements in medicine, we as a species seem to be getting sicker and sicker? Diseases such as cancer are more prevalent today than they were in 1950. Is it because our medical science is somehow failing us? Is it that today's doctors treat symptoms rather than finding the root of the problem that caused the illness in the first place? Our minds work according to the law of belief, which states, "Whatever you believe and feel to be true long enough will become your reality. It means that whatever you subconsciously feel to be true in your inner world (thoughts) long enough, will always show up in your outer world (experience)." The Mind Can Heal and the Mind Can Age explores the premise that our minds are the true culprit. Areas to be explored: - How you create your own reality and healing with your thoughts, words, and actions. - How the mind and the mental state a person is in dictates the state of the physical body. - How attitude and self-talk play a huge role in the aging process. - How "The Law of Attraction" effects your health both negatively and positively. - How stress affects your health as well as the process. "If anyone say's to this mountain, 'Be lifted from your place and hurled into the sea,' and has no inward doubts, but believes that what he says is happening, it will be done for him. I tell you then, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it and it will be yours" (Mark 11:23-24).

The Power of Positive Aging is a training course to help you survive and thrive through the greatest challenge of your life--growing old.

Based on timeless spiritual (but completely practical) principles, The Power of Positive Aging presents a concrete program of specific actions to put these principles into use in everyday life.

Book excerpt: Longevity Starts Now! The mindset set you need for the 21st century!What is the potential of a human being if you handed them an extended playing field of life to create, grow, and experiment with? Let's say an extra 20-40 healthy years how would that change them, or how would that change you? You could change the direction of your life without the fear of running out of time.No matter your age Longevity Starts Now is based on a core philosophy that states we are continually Creating and Growing our lives while mastering our Mind and Health so we can live in Freedom.We possess all the power within us when we take full responsibility for our lives. We are the creators of our life, not caretakers for a life. We grow our life, we don't die inside a life. We have a future that is always brighter than our past. We can live in potentials and possibilities and not in boundaries that hold most people back. These are all choices and will ultimately determine our destiny.Life can only travel in one direction at a time, so it becomes essential we choose wisely!Over the past fifteen years, I've been fascinated with Longevity and have studied extraordinary people who have multi-century mindsets for living. They have raised the standards of their life far beyond what most people's ideas of what aging can become. Today, most people will live to eighty years of age, where 85% will have some form of heart disease, cancer, or an autoimmune disease. Lifestyle choices, as identified by the World Health Organization(WHO), are why people are getting sick today, which only gets worse when we find out we have health care systems designed around the treatment of illness and disease and not prevention. "People today are Living to short and dying too long."So what is the solution? We must play the game of life on offense where life is in our hands.-We decide to create and grow our life with purpose and live outside our comfort zone.-We decide if we let stress control our life and mind, or we can choose to live in the now and use the energy of our life to shape our attitude.-We decide to live in health, listen to our body, consume real living food, and adopt meditation and movement as the way forward.-We decide to start a business, take control of our life, so we will thrive in chaos and live in Freedom.These Four statements are the key ingredients needed to experience Longevity in one's life. They all start from the source, which is us and not from the outside world where we have no control over the circumstances.Longevity Starts Now is designed to open the mind to the possibilities that exist in every aspect of our lives. When we start to install new ways of thinking which require us to drop the past, we can then begin to believe in a new future. Human potential provides us with a road map for the ultimate journey for our life. Get your copy today by clicking the "Buy Now" button now!

Download or read book Breaking the Age Code written by Becca Levy, PhD and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2022-04-12 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yale professor and leading expert on the psychology of successful aging, Dr. Becca Levy, draws on her ground-breaking research to show how age beliefs can be improved so they benefit all aspects of the aging process, including the way genes operate and the extension of life expectancy by 7.5 years. The often-surprising results of Levy’s science offer stunning revelations about the mind-body connection. She demonstrates that many health problems formerly considered to be entirely due to the aging process, such as memory loss, hearing decline, and cardiovascular events, are instead influenced by the negative age beliefs that dominate in the US and other ageist countries. It’s time for all of us to rethink aging and Breaking the Age Code shows us how to do just that. Based on her innovative research, stories that range from pop culture to the corporate boardroom, and her own life, Levy shows how age beliefs shape all aspects of our lives. She also presents a variety of fascinating people who have benefited from positive age beliefs as well as an entire town that has flourished with these beliefs. Breaking the Age Code is a landmark work, presenting not only easy-to-follow techniques for improving age beliefs so they can contribute to successful aging, but also a blueprint to reduce structural ageism for lasting change and an age-just society.

Download or read book The Aging Mind written by Patrick Rabbitt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-11-27 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No-one approaches aging with enthusiasm. Activities we accomplish easily in our 20s and 30s become more difficult as we grow old but, though change is inevitable, recognising and understanding precisely what is happening to our bodies and minds allows us to continue to manage and enjoy our lives. Patrick Rabbitt is a cognitive gerontologist who has researched physical and mental aging for over 50 years and so can interpret his personal daily experiences of the aging process through a comprehensive understanding of what gerontological research has revealed about how our bodies and brains age, and how these changes affect our everyday experiences and lives. Engagingly written, Professor Rabbitt’s book is a fascinating account of why our sensory and cognitive experiences change as we get older, and what these developments mean for our overall physical and emotional well-being. Describing the latest research the book covers the mental changes that affect our daily lives such as those in memory, intelligence, attention, sleep, vision and hearing, taste and smell, touch and balance, anxiety, depression and perception of the passage of time. It also discusses how far we can keep and develop the skills we have mastered over our lifetimes. The book debunks unhelpful myths about the aging process and offers guidance on how we can age better. This is an absorbing account of the aging process from one of the most eminent gerontologists working today. Its warmth and candour make it an engaging and helpful guide for those interested in understanding their own, or their relatives’ ageing. Its rigour and comprehensiveness make ideal for students seeking an accessible alternative to standard textbooks on aging and for health professionals working with older people.
