The brain can continue to grow and improve for as long as we live.  Scientists now agree that it is possible forthe brain to grow, improve and even mend as we grow older.  Some effort has to be made to srimulate and improve the brain.  Nutrients for the brain matter, and mental stimulation, as well.   This is an exciting. concept.

Did you know that you can improve your hearing, vision and heart health with balanced nutritional supplements as well?  The challange is to find that product with just the right balance.  Our heart is suppose to function for 120 to 140 years if all is well.  Very exciting!

Lets take care of our Body, Mind and Spirit.

I am interested in ADHD and I had heard the vitamins had reduced the affects of ADHD.  Since I order many of my daily necessities, including vitamins from Melaleuca, the Wellness Company, I Googled "ADHD" and "Melaleuca".  I found several articles stating positively that Melaleuca's children's vitamins reduced the affects of ADHD.  One article was by an MD stating that most of his ADHD patients benefited.  Several Melaleuca/ADHD articles also stated that the children were able to quit taking mind numbing meds.  I also searched "ADHD" with both "One-A-Day" and "Centrum" with no luck, only that vitamins were used along with doctor prescribed meds.

Hi Maggie. What I find exciting is not only that the brain continues to grow, improve, and mend, but it is developing in ways that make it better, with capabilities that younger brains don't have! 

I wrote an article on this called "The Amazing Aging Brain," plus a review of the book The Mature Mind: the Positive Power of the Aging Brain. If interested, they are on by blog at <http://blog.appliedcreativethinking.com/page/2.aspx&gt;

I'm new to the AARP discussion boards, and I'm wondering if I might submit articles and reviews like this somewhere. Thanks! Frank
