I would like to share this short video with you in which our customers talk about their experiences after training with BrainHQ. Together with your help, and the help of other brain-health informed individuals, we have been working hard to raise awareness about the importance of brain fitness. We have reached many people and changed a lot of lives. Although we feel proud; there is still a long way to go.

I kindly ask that you share this newsletter and our free Daily Spark (https://dynamicbrain.brainhq.com/#daily) exercises with two people in your network, encouraging them exercise, for free, for a few minutes a day. You may just change their lives forever.

Thank you! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email us.

Kind regards,

First non-invasive treatment for a brain tumour
Treating brain tumours is normally an extremely invasive process for patients. For the first time; however, a Toronto hospital has managed to non-invasively deliver medicine directly to a brain tumour with something called “microbubbles.” This has the potential to change how we now treat brain tumours, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and other brain diseases. Read about the procedure here or watch the video here.

Ready to lift a few light dumbbells?
A common joke you may hear in your gym’s locker room is to “never skip leg day.” It turns out this isn’t just a silly observation as leg-strength is one factor most indicative of cognitive change, according to this study. This doesn’t mean you should only focus on your legs though. Regular light weight training, only twice a week, is also being linked to keeping brains healthier as we age. Now, you can hit the gym knowing it’s good for your body and your brain health too.

Early Alzheimer's Clues Appear In The Brain's Internal GPS
Researchers are continuously looking for better predictors, or early indicators, for brain-based diseases. They have now found a potential link between how we use the internal GPS in our brains and Alzheimer’s disease. While this research is still in the very early stages, it does have the potential to lead to much better forms of early detection. Read more about their study here.

What money does to our brains
If talking about money makes you feel as if you have butterflies in your stomach, or making money gives you a “high” then your brain is likely working just fine. The areas of our brain that process money related questions have some very interesting relationships to the rest of our bodies and other behaviours. Discover some of the other unlikely brain processes associated with money here.

New insights on Emotional Intelligence
We are all familiar with the “fight or flight” response. This nearly instantaneous brain process has allowed humanity to survive as a species, but as Daniel Goleman points out, it is an outdated process for our modern lives. To find out more about what is happening when we react to daily stressors in powerful ways, and to see a few suggestions on how to better manage our brains in this day and age, please follow this link.

Mind what you eat for a healthy brain
Do you know what you’re making for dinner tonight? This simple question has plagued countless household cooks over the years as we tend to make the same meals repeatedly. So, why not update some of your recipes, or standard meals, by adding some brain healthy foods and ingredients? Take a moment to refresh yourself (and your kitchen) by reading about brain-healthy foods here.

Yet another “thumbs up” to brain training
A recent six month study of 7000 people aged 50 and older has found that playing 10 minutes of online brain training exercises, five times a week has helped improve their ability to perform daily activities like shopping and cooking. So if you haven’t exercised your brain today, take a short break and give BrainHQ’s Daily Spark a try. As you know BrainHQ is the only cognitive training program that has gone through large scale studies by renowned researchers and institutions, such as the Mayo Clinic, who demonstrated an average of 10 years of memory gain.

Cut Your Crash Risk by 50%
Your brain is one of the most important pieces of safety equipment when you get behind the wheel of a car. As we age, our reaction times slow down and our field of vision decreases. This means our safety on the road is also reduced. By spending only 10 hours doing the engaging driving cognitive training program you can save your life and the lives of others on the road!
