Brain Health

As we get older our brain begins to change. Its main mission is to make sense of the world around us, and that never changes. Everybody should do whatever they can to keep this vital organ functioning at its fullest capacity throughout our lifetime.

We have made great strides towards understanding and fighting the onsets of both dementia and Alzheimers. There's been progress in controlling the diseases and have increased the life of those affected by them. People are living and coping with Alzheimers better than ever before.

Many families that have had a family member with Alzheimers have gone through a rough emotional and physical drain of their otherwise normal lifestyle. It does take a toll not only on the person it affects.

Now a site comes along called Brain Health that has resources that will help you learn about and exercise your brain.

Sites and Resources for Fitness and Nutrition Health

The purpose of this blog is to give you health advice that will enrich your life through a healthy lifestyle. Through trial and error I hope to enlighten each individual to find their health niche. I firmly believe that to be healthy, what works for some may not work for others. For example, although I will envy the health benefits of yoga, yoga is not my cup of tea. I tried it, so I'm not just blowing smoke!

I put together some health sites and resources that can help you find interesting ways to stay healthy in all aspects of overall wellness. Some I may have given in the past but they deserve at least a look to see if something interests you.

The National Institute of Health is a government site that actually has some interesting information. This site is a good resource for living healthy and well through informative articles and links to a bevy of information on the topics.

Very Well is another resource that covers a bevy of health topics that are informative and cover a wide variety of topics including mind and spirit.

FitWatch has free fitness and nutrition trackers.

When it comes to nutrition Eat Right can fill you in a nutrition and eating right. I believe http://whfoods.com/ would compliment Eat Right.

If you don't know the number of calories in your food check out Calorie Counter.

For weight loss exersises and nutrition try My Fitness Pal.

Livestrong lives up to its name and has powerful articles about exercise, health and nutrition.

SparkPeople is a site that just might keep you healthy for a lifetime.

If your looking for video workouts Sworkit has both a free and premium programs.
