Sleeping In Boosts Brain Power
By Heidi Blake / Source: The Telegraph Scientists have discovered that an extra dose of sleep is more than just a luxury - it provides an essential boost to brain power ahead of the working week.
Those who return to work on Monday morning refreshed from a long lie-in the day before perform better than those who spent less time in bed at the weekend, research has found.
A single lie-in is all that is required to replenish the brain and boost energy, alertness and attention span after a week of restricted sleep, the study showed.
But even 10 hours in bed may not be enough to restore those who regularly burn the candle at both ends – so they should lie in even longer.
The scientists also warned against staying up all night partying at the weekend, which they said would significantly impair a person's performance at work the following week. Read the full story here...
Sex Boosts Brain Growth (in rats) By Matthew Edlund, M.D. / Source: Psychology Today Can Sex Grow My Brain?
The short answer is yes - if you're a rat. Rats and humans differ in some ways. Yet our mammalian physiology is sufficiently similar that what happens in rats often happens in people.
The sex-brain study, done at Princeton's Psychology Department by Leuner, Glasper, and Gould, was performed with active, night-time rats. Males spent time with females that were either sexually receptive or non-receptive (unlike us but like most animals, rats get sex-obsessed only at hormonally defined intervals.) Whether sexual contact was a one night stand or ongoing for two weeks, cell growth popped out in the hippocampus, a major brain memory area for rats and humans. As Woody Allen would say, it worked every time.
The authors were excited to discover that first night's sex appeared to overcome the brain zapping effects of cortisol.
Cortisol is a major stress hormone, and in very high dose may lead to brain cell death. Though cortisol does hundreds of useful things like resetting immunity it has recently gotten a bad public rap, perhaps peaking when skin expert Dr. Nicholas Perricone dubbed it "the death hormone."
First night sex caused cortisol to go way up, but the male rats still managed to grow new brain cells. For them, sex defeated stress.
And such positive effects continued. Over the two week study interval, sexual activity increased brain cell growth and lowered rat versions of anxious behavior, while cortisol decreased to normal ranges. Read the full story here...

Remember having sex when it was so all-consuming and thrilling it was all you could think about for days?

Latest Study Claims Prayers Can Heal the Sick The power of prayer really can help to heal the sick, an international study has found - especially if the well-wisher is standing near the person they are praying for.
Researchers say the vision and hearing of patients in their tests improved after healing practitioners prayed for them.
One elderly woman who could not see a person's hand when they held two fingers up in front of her face from a foot away is said to have been cured after a healer placed their hands over her eyes and prayed for less than one minute.
The tests were carried out by a team from Indiana university, led by religious studies Professor Candy Gunther Brown, who were looking into 'proximal prayer' - or prayers near the patient.
However, experts at the National Secular Society branded the research 'highly suspect.'
Terry Sanderson, president of the NSS, said: 'This is a highly suspect study, based on vague results in places where checking would be impossible. There is a quite obvious religious motivation which undermines its impartiality. Read the full story here...
The 7 Ancient Secrets for Perfect Health By Kacper Postawski / Creator of The 7 Ancient Health Secrets As I write this, there are hundreds of thousands of people very ill around the world. Thousands are dying from diseases which experts tell them are "irreversible." Statistically, one out of three Americans now get Cancer. That's staggering. Every year there are more and more drugs available to "treat" these problems yet people keep on dying and no-one is getting healed.
And yet... as I write this... There is another group of people, one which you won't read about in the papers, won't see trumpeted on the media or backed by pharmaceutical corporations. This group of people is thriving with health and energy. Their bodies are vibrating with life, and they never get sick or worry about illness ever again. In fact, most of these people age at a drastically slower rate.
This group of people is also growing by the thousands every day; it is a wave of awareness that is spreading across the globe. The good news is you can join this group of people very easily, by following the powerful principles and clarity you'll get from this information, like I once did.
What's the main difference between those two groups?
The first group follows the SAD system. Appropriately named, the acronym stands for the Standard American Diet. The second group knows about, either conscious or unconsciously, and follows the Living Vibration system. Read the full story here...
