Why is brain fitness so important? Because the brain is the control center for the body.<\/p>\n
The brain helps our bodies to not only respond to stress but to recover from stress. Ninety-five percent of all diseases come from stress. Our survival value is how well we adapt to our constantly changing environment.<\/p>\n
Stress response and recovery is a function of our sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The sympathetic system is our survival\/fight or flight mode. The parasympathetic is our healing system.<\/p>\n
If our bodies are stuck in the stress mode, it has a challenge to heal. The stress mode can come from a work hard\/play hard lifestyle.<\/p>\n
Chronic stress is associated with a loss of self-regulation. This leads to inflammatory processes in the body. Inflammation leads to most of the diseases and illnesses.<\/p>\n
Injuries should be able to heal. If they don\u2019t, that person is stuck in a sympathetic stress syndrome and there is a problem with self-regulation.<\/p>\n
The good news is that there are things that we can do to help bring our bodies back to balance.<\/p>\n
The first step is awareness in lifestyle choices. Deep breaths will engage the parasympathetic system.<\/p>\n
A holistic health approach can restore balance to the body. This includes light and sound therapy, chiropractic adjustments, nutritional support and detoxification.<\/p>\n
The world we are living in is more stressful than ever before. People are sicker than ever before.<\/p>\n
Brain fitness will balance the brain. When the brain is balanced, the body will be balanced.<\/p>\n
