If keeping my mind active helps prevent Alzheimer’s, why don’t I just do crossword puzzles or fun trivia quizzes?

 

 

 

 

Q: What makes your work different from all of the other self-help, meditation, yoga, etc. folks in the field?

A: We are focused on bringing the meditative state and its benefits into moment-to-moment life, not just 20 minutes a day when one is alone. We call this Realtime Meditation™.

Q. OK, I get it, keeping my mind active helps prevent Alzheimer’s. Why don’t I just do crossword puzzles or fun trivia quizzes?

A. With our work you are not only keeping your mind active, you’re using it to gain more perspective on, and thereby solve, your real-world problems: relationships, love, your job, worries about money, health concerns, anything that causes you fear, anger, tension, guilt, depression, or just plain feeling bad.

It is also our hypothesis, which we plan to submit to scientific testing, that our work calls upon more parts of your brain, hopefully the whole brain, stimulating every area so that the plaque associated with Alzheimer’s finds no place to form. While not yet proven this is logical because crossword puzzles or math trivia both call upon analytic reasoning and verbal/numerical skills centered in the left brain. This would theoretically leave the right brain open to plaque formation.
