“Brain Boosting Secrets: 16 Things Everyone Must Know About the Brain
An excellent family evening for 10yrs and up! (10-12 year olds may attend free)
90% of what we know about the brain has been learned in the last 2 years and yet most people never think much about their brains. Brain dysfunction is the #1 reason people fail work, school, and relationships. When your brain works right, you work right. When you look after your brain, the results are amazing. This session will give you the tools to boost your brain power, improve your thinking, and improve your health. It is based on the latest cutting-edge neuroscience research.
You will learn: * the #1 job of your brain * how to eat right, to think right * the #1 food for your brain (you probably don't eat this right now) * how to improve your reading skills * how to improve your memory * how to outwit Alzheimer's disease * the 3 things every brain must have and much more!
Brain Boosting Secrets is packed with tips, stories, ideas, and strategies to help you improve your greatest asset...your brain.
