Over Twenty Years After Gunshot to Head, Now Fighting to Keep My Brain Alive And Healthy

Sure I've been blessed with my early recovery that you can read in my about page and throughout my life. However I am writing today about fighting to keep my brain healthy and functioning normally. The injury to my brain years ago never was healed of course. There was permanent damage to my cognitive functions and of course the hemi-paresis slowing me down. But I've been able to minimize detrimental effects from the damage plus take advantage of the miraculous effects of neuroplasticity improving, regaining and maintaining brain processing and functioning.

However, now my brain is deteriorating with similar effects as though in aging adults. I of course am aging too but the effects are compounded because of the brain damage incurred over two decades ago in my twenties. Dr Amen says, to paraphrase the expert, that brain injured adults have an increased risk of alzeimers and at an earlier age even.

So, I increased my attempts to maintain brain health and fight off the loss of focus and concentration at times, the memory lapses, the sleepiness or fog about the brain and even worse detrimental effects when the weather goes below freezing or drastic changes occur.

I found an anti-aging software for your brain that has been on PBS and even offered as a donation bonus during a Dr Amen special on the brain. It is also great for many of the detrimental effects that occur in head injured as me. Of course, damage in a brain can be different in anyone but all I can tell you in this blog is that it helps me and I know the difference.

Note this is not an affiliate link in this posting just the best referenced website for software to help your auditory cortex and other cognitive areas .

Also as you age, because I have a brain injury, I'll exercise my brain on its threshold maybe 5 days per week even earlier then somebody exercising their brain because of aging effects.

In my mid forties , I started using Insight 1/2 HR to an Hour a day and it has worked exceptionally with proof . Metrics in the program are updated in real time during each exercise and give great visuals and stats on your performance over time. Additionally, for me, there is a noticeable decrease in performance in several areas if I go without it for a few months. Although the program does develop permanent improvements too. Note that many normal brains would only require a software as Insight in their 60s or beyond. I've felt the detrimental efects of early brain decay and the fog and no thanks, so I'm optimizing my brain health and my physical health tooo as I age.
