RE: Good Food for Good Brain Development
Even with a well-balanced diet, research in the recent decade has shown that exercise is as important to maintaining mental health. One research found that exercise during childhood encourages cognitive development, specifically improving their memory, attention and decision-making skills, more than children who are less physically active.
In adults, exercise benefits many executive functions of the brain like multi-tasking, planning and self-control, not to mention the physical effects that comes with challenging your body with physical training. (Plus side, it definitely helps you once the Zombie Apocolypse arrives)
A secondary but equally awesome perk for your brain when it comes to exercising is it keeps us happy. When we exercise, the brain releases neurotransmitters like endorphins, serotonin and anandamide, which are known to elevate moods and feelings, and/or alleviate depression and pain. Long distance runners are familiar with this feeling they call “runner’s high”.
So go get a workout and keep that brain happy, alive & kicking! -

Good Food for Good Brain Development
http://i46.tinypic.com/24fe0k9.jpg\">
There are plenty of zombie movies out there and many seem to be coming up. But one lesson you can take from all these movies is that a bad diet will lead to you being as brain dead as a Zombie.
Our brains need nutrients and a healthy diet in order for it to function at optimum levels. High-powered brain foods contain complex carbohydrates, fiber, lean protein and unsaturated fats, and these needs can be satisfied with a diet rich with fruits, vegetables, whole-grains, fish and good quality meats.
Processed foods rich with unsaturated fats on the other hand have been recently found to lead to long-term mental problems, besides the physical issues of obesity and heart disease. These effects stem from a far too regular diet of potato chips, fast food, and sweets.
So the next time you catch a Zombie movie with your kids, how about ditching the soda for a bottle of water and popcorn for some mixed nuts to keep your brain alive and kicking! -

How Effective is this Zumba thing? Here are 3 benefits
If you’ve not personally heard about Zumba, you really need to get back to the gym. Zumba has been riding waves of worldwide popularity for the past year and have gotten Singaporeans on their feet and into the studios. The mass appeal of Zumba is its dance aspect which makes it absolutely fun. And the fact that it shies from the standard punch and kick in aerobics makes it more than just exercise.
The sad news is, any exercise routine is as effective as your commitment to it.
Zumba lets you sweat out the calories, while having fun with friends and like-minded people. And it has proven to be very effective among its converts and advocates. But as do other fitness activities, its effectiveness weighs much on the length, intensity and regularity of the workout.
Check out what benefits you can reap from it:
Team Sport
Zumba is a group activity. Think synchronised dancing. By working out in a group, you are effectively surrounded by fellow motivators. Unlike other activities which challenge you at every step, Zumba keeps it fun and lets you forget your worries and inject energy into your day.
Full Body Workout
Get fit while dancing to the latest tunes? Why not? Zumba makes you move every part of your body and depending on the intensity of the sequence will tone up the favourite parts of the body, the upper arms, thighs, butt and even your abs. Also get in touch with those muscles that don’t get much attention in your daily lives.
Learn to Dance
Zumba blends major dances like Salsa, Mambo, Hip Hop and even squeezes in some Bollywood. So you’re most likely thinking of getting those moves right rather than which muscle you’re targeting. How about showing off those new dance moves at the next wedding or ladies night? No dance skills? No problem! Before you even know it, you might be boogie-ing down like the best of 'em.
