The title of this video does not apply to you if you don’t do any physical training. It only applies to the people that are getting engaged in physical training. If you would like the title to apply to you if you’re not engaged in physical training, then we’re going to have to change the title a little bit, how to increase brain health and longevity by engaging in one or two hours per week. So in one or two hours per week is worth for you to increase your brain health and longevity, then that may be for you too. But assuming that you already are doing some physical training, how we can increase the health of the brain and longevity is, we already know that through engaging in fitness weight training, the brain can actually be boosted. How? As we are training, the heart starts pumping faster. And the faster the heart pumps, it starts sending a lot of blood all over your body. Not only through your extremities, but also in your brain. And inside of your blood there is oxygen. Not only oxygen, but also nutrients.

So as the heart’s pumps faster, then it sends the blood to the brain, and then the brain as a result of that gets more nutrients. Also, it gets more oxygen, and the brain requires more oxygen than any other organ of the body. So the more you have your heart pumping faster, the more blood flow there is in your brain. Therefore, the more oxygen, and therefore more nutrients. Assuming that your nutrition continues to evolve and get better, then all the nutrients will heal, and actually will help your brain function even better. But this video is not about that. This video is about a different type of way to boost your brain health and longevity, and this is a different type of training, and this type of training is power training. This type of training is ploymetric training. This type of training is agility training. The more we train that, then the more the brain actually will start creating new brain cells, and more neurons and more connections.

When you do power training, actually you may feel like you’re sweating a little bit, but the brain works even more. Because the brain, this is brain-based training if you do some power. But I have to say that not everybody should be doing power training if you’re not ready. Sometimes people are getting involved in fitness movement, and all kinds of trainings, and they’re not ready for it. I say that everybody should be doing it provided that your body is prepared, your body is ready. But if your body is not ready, you’re going to start slow, and then we’re going to upgrade it to some power training. But power training is crucial. As we’re getting older, the number one thing we lose is power. If you don’t use it, the body will forget how to use it. Not only there, but also it’s going to lose some brain cells. If we start reintroducing some power training, then the body is going to start finding ways to create new connections between the brain and the working muscles. It’s very beneficial for us to really engage in that. If you start powering it, sure, there is some skeletal muscles that are being involved, but the brain has to fire. It has to fire quickly. And those signals have to be sent to the working muscles, so it could be very responsive, it could be very reactive. If I can give you two polarities, if you see on average elderly, they move very, very slow.

Sure, partially is because we’re getting older. But for the most part, people become very slow and their bodies atrophy, their brains atrophy because they’re not using it. They’re not using it. But we’re evolving so much that we know that this is how this works, and power training, strength training, fitness activities are the fountain of youth. That’s why we need to be engaged more and more in those. So if an older person does not use that, you’re going to see them that they cannot respond quick. If they have to react quick to certain circumstances and situations, they can’t. They’re very slow, and that’s because of lack of usage and lack of training in that. So knowing that, it’s not an opinion. Actually it is how it works. The more we do that, then you’re bringing it back. Then you are recreating the same type of reactional experience by the process called brain plasticity, so the brain can adapt to so many different environments. The more you train power training, and if you do it safely and properly, I don’t recommend you do it if you haven’t been engaged in it at all. So grab a coach or have somebody show you how to do it, because it could be challenging and it could be dangerous for you to injure yourself if your body is not prepared.

But here in our facility, everybody does power training because it is crucial for longevity, it’s crucial for health. Not only for being lean. So the more we train brain-based training with power, then we are creating those neurons of the brain. We are creating those brain cells. We are creating the connections again between the brain and the muscles. We are creating the pathways. Again, if you don’t and you’re not using it, the body just forgets. It doesn’t know how to reintroduce it. But the more you do it, then it becomes easier. It creates that highway, that pathway, and becomes more efficient, boom, boom, boom, and you start seeing it becomes much, much easier. So, brain training is crucial for longevity and brain health. Enjoy.
