and supplements of practical exercises byPr. Sammy Lee & Dr. Brenda Parkinson Lee

Pr. Sammy Lee has been teaching English, Indonesian and Mandarin languages and Mega MemoryCourses in Indonesia, Malaysia, Macao, China, and Australia, besides his duty as evangelist, pastor and writer.Now he is semi-retiring in Sydney while volunteering as a lecturer, public speaker and preacher in

Australia and overseas in promoting SRI (System of Rice Intensification) and also How To SharpenMemory and Postpone Alzheimers Disease.

Introduction and demonstration.In starting this course, first of all remember these Laws of Brain Longevity:

The brain is flesh and blood, just like the rest of the body. What works for the heart works for the head. A healthy mind and body can resist and fight disease. Healthy lifestyle choices make apositive difference.

Four Pillars for Building a Better MemoryPillar 1: God As Source of Wisdom and KnowledgePillar 2: Proper Foods and VitaminsPillar 3: Stress Management ProgramPillar 4: Exercises for Body and Brain

Pillar 1: God As Source of Wisdom and Knowledge

Everything starts with God, as the source of life.This is believed by Christians, Jews, Moslems and by the ancient Chinese people. And now itis accepted and strongly believed by approximately 130 millions Chinese Christians in Chinaalone. And of course there are other nations and religions who believe some kind of deity ordeities who created the world in the beginning.

Miracles will happen as promised, and the Holy Spirit and angels will be our companions andteachers only if we do His will in working for souls. (Mark 16:15-18;John 16:13 ) 13 Howbeitwhen he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.Those who labour for the good of others are working in union with the heavenly angels. Theyhave their constant companionship, their unceasing ministry. --C.M. p. 110.

6 For the L ORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge andunderstanding. 7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is abuckler to them that walk uprightly. Proverbs 2:6 ,7

6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. Psalm 51:6

5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men

liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask infaith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea drivenwith the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receiveany thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.James 1:5-8

98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mineenemies : for they are ever with me.99 I have more understanding than all my teachers : for thy testimonies

are my meditation.100 I understand more than the ancients , because I keep thy precepts.103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste ! yea, sweeter than honey tomy mouth! 104 Through thy precepts I get `understanding : thereforeI hate every false way.105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path .Psalm 119:98-105

Pillar 2: Diet and Vitamins

Building a better memory, preventing memory loss, and impacting Alzheimer's disease have been shown to be dependent on your lifestyle and this can influence the health of your genes.Your brain is a flesh and blood organ and needs the proper fuel to function well. Your diet iscritical to its health, and you can help!The Alzheimer's Prevention Diet

20% Good fat, such as extra virgin olive oil, avocado, flax seed oil.40% Lean protein, found in soy and various nuts, legumes and seeds.40% Complex carbohydrates, such as a rainbow of fresh vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and

fresh fruits, green, red, orange, yellow, brown, purple, pink, blue coloured vegetables and fruitsare the best for youSuper foods for the brain: blueberries, spinach and seaweed.

The main, well-researched concept for having a better memory is to avoid a diet high in trans-fatand saturated fat, such as those from animal products, especially red meats. These fats cause

inflammation and the production of free radicals. Free radicals are a normal by-product of your metabolism and in high quantities damage and even kill brain cells. Antioxidants such asvitamins C and E eliminate free radicals from your body. I believe that a vast intake of fruits andvegetables, vegetarian protein substitutes, such as soy, nuts and seeds, are protective againstmemory loss.

THE WONDER FOODS

THE GOODNESS OF BANANA, If you want a quick fix for flagging energylevels there's no bettersnack than a banana. Containing three naturalsugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose -combined with fiber, a bananagives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.

Brain Power : 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school werehelped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast,break and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shownthat the potassium-packed fruit can assist learningby making pupils more alert.

Constipation : High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can helprestore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem withoutresorting to laxatives.

Depression : According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND

amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better aftereating a banana. This is because bananas contain trypotophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin known to make you relax,improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.

Hangovers : One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to makea banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms thestomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugarlevels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.

Pillar 3: Stress ManagementThe human brain is an amazing instrument. No computer can duplicate it. It can process millions of stimuli in hundredths of a second. However, your brain requires good care and attention to operate atpeak efficiency, especially as you enter your forties, fifties, and beyond. Building a better memory,preventing memory loss and impacting Alzheimer's disease are dependent on your lifestyle and notust your genes.

Stress, Meditation, and MemoryBalancing stress is a vital part of an Alzheimer's prevention strategy. There is a very high correlationbetween high cholesterol, high blood pressure, high cortisol and Alzheimer's disease. Stress can be akey factor in all of these. Research has shown that the benefits of regular stress-relaxation practicecan improve your health, and especially improve focus, attention, and optimal mental performance.

Did you know that being prone to psychological distress could destroy your memory and cause

Alzheimer's disease? Research says it can. Doctors and health officials have come to realize howheavy a toll stress is taking on our health. A testimony to that is the fact that tranquilizers,antidepressants, high blood pressure medicines, and anti-acids, all of which are used for illnessesmade worse by stress, are the best-selling drugs in the Western countries.

When you have stress your performance goes down. Stress chemicals, such as adrenaline andcortisol are released in your body and are responsible for your fast heart rate and a stimulatingfeeling. Cortisol, in excess, damages the cells in the memory center of your brain. The problem is,that as you age or develop an illness, you have a decreased ability to handle stress and lower your

blood cortisol levels naturally. Cortisol stops glucose from entering your brain cells. It blocks your neurotransmitter function and causes brain cells to become injured and, if they are not saved, to die.

As stress and cortisol levels increase, so does the chance of developing memory loss. High levels of cortisol also impact your ability to learn and retain new information. This is called short-termmemory loss.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could find some way to change this? What if, for the same level of demand, you were actually able to increase your performance? This is where stress-relaxationtechniques fit in the picture. Meditation increases your ability to perform. They work by reducingstress, thus lowering cortisol, and improving many aspects of mental function. Of course, stressmanagement has many other positive benefits as well, such as improved heart function, reducedanxiety, less chronic pain and increased longevity.

Some examples of stress-management techniques are: Meditation. Find a quiet place to read inspirational book.Best: The Bible and EGW books. Guided Imagery and Visualization. Try to imagine the scenario portrayed in the book. Learn a New Language. Can be substituted with art work criticism or memorizing

texts or hymns. Deep Breathing Gentle Exercise . Classical MusicClassical composers who have used Csrds themes in their work include EmmerichKlmn , Franz Liszt , Johannes Brahms , Johann Strauss , Pablo de Sarasate , Pyotr IlyichTchaikovsky and others. Probably the best-known Csardas is the eponymous

composition by Vittorio Monti written for violin and piano . This virtuosic piece has 5tempo variations.But the best of all is : Prayer and singing hymns. Open your heart to Him IN PRAYERSAND HYMNS just like talking to your parents or close friends.

Pillar 4: Physical and Mental ExercisesMemory loss is neither a normal nor a natural process of aging. We must take a proactive role inretaining the strength and vitality of our brain as we age. Just as our body needs strength-buildingexercise to keep fit, so does our brain.

The Importance of Physical ExercisePhysical exercise is imperative because it reduces your risk for developing Alzheimer's disease by50 percent. Moreover, women in one study who had a regular exercise program from age 40 to 60had a dramatic reduction in cognitive decline. The more recent findings suggest that an activelifestyle is the key. Research recommends walking a minimum of 20 minutes, 3 times a week. Other examples of great aerobic exercise include jogging, dance classes, swimming, and tennis.Remember, also, to do some strength training to maintain muscle mass and prevent osteoporosis.

Brain AerobicsMental exercise has been reported by neurologists to reduce your chance of developing Alzheimer'sdisease by 70 percent. Everyone should spend at least 20 minutes, 3 times a week, doing mentalexercise.

Challenging the brain with novel tasks (anything new or different) improves brain function. In order for an activity to be considered brain aerobics, three conditions must be met:

1. It needs to engage your attention.2. It must involve more than one of the senses.3. It must break a routine activity in an unexpected, nontrivial way.

Some examples of good mental exercise are reading, writing, playing board games and doingcrossword puzzles.

Healing Your Brain with Mind/Body ExerciseMind/body exercise is a fascinating example of the best of the principles of Asian medicine meetingthe best of Western medical research. There are specific exercises that increase the amount of blood

flow going to your brain and improve your memory. The following technique has been provenclinically very useful over the years.

Musical Exercise.

Do re me fa sol Sol fa me re do [1 2 3 4 5 5 4 3 2 1]

C D E F G - G F E D C (Use your fingers to implant the message in your brain. Song: God isgood to me! God is good to me! God is good, God is good, Always good to me. Shen hen haodui wo! Shen hen hao dui wo. Shen hen hao, Shen hen hao. Mei tian hao dui wo! )

God is so good , God is so good, Hes so good to me.

He cares for me.. He loves me so He died for me He rose again He rules in heavenHes coming back.

Sing hallelujah to the Lord. 2 X Sing hallelujah, sing hallelujah, sing hallelujah to the Lord.

Oh, I sing hallelujah, to you Lord I sing hallelujah, 2 X I sing hallelujah to You, Lord

In developed countries such as Japan, USA, UK. and Australia and New Zealand educated peopleunderstand that if we can have a balanced use of both the left and right brain which have differentfunctions in body performances we will be able to develop:

a sharper memory - outstanding creativity - deeper and better understanding of the materialstudied.

The sad fact is, not many students posses those three abilities due to the fact that most of them do nothave a balanced application of both the left and right brain. The lessons we learn during our schooldays from Primary to tertiary Educational institutions generally only use the left brain andvery seldom activate the right brain. Make it your habit to use both sides of your brain as much aspossible. Later we will learn how to do it. Throwing and catching objects. Balls, discs, darts. Tryusing the other hand. Try to be ambidextrous, meaning skilful in using both hands.

SAMMYROBICS

1. Warming up exercises, deep breathing.2. Pulling and pushing your hands.3. Gentle taichi style movements with muscle stretching and breathing regulation.4. Squat ups and tip toe standing exercise.5. Shadow kungfu/boxing exercises6. Joints and tendons exercises.

Then memorize the following set of letters to represent numbers.T and D represents number 1N represents 2M represents 3R represents 4L represents 5G as gee, J, ch, sh represents 6K as kay and gay, represents 7

P and B represents 9Z or S represents 0

After that memorize the following words, to represent numbers from 1 to 99. These wordsshould be turned into a picture in your imagination. For instance: It is hard to remembertelephone numbers, for instance : 9749 5141, but if we turn it into a set of mental pictures:97 (bk) 49(r0p) 51(ld) 41(rd) itu becomes: Book rope lid rod. Now picture a book tied witha rope hanging from a lid and then tied to a rod. After you can turn the four words into apicture in your mind, you will be able to remember the above telephone number very easily,

and wont forget it.This will be explained and practised later as you get into it.

PEGS IN YOUR HOUSE:


12/13

Now try to remember the parts and furniture in your house. These should becomepegs where you are going to hang all the items you want to remember. For instancemy living room:1. Shoe-rake2. Flower pot3. Bookshelf 4. Antique cupboard5. Armchair6. 3 seater sofa7. Low table8. Armchair9. Chair10.Lucky bamboo plant11.Chair12.Bookshelf 13.TV set14.Phone table

15.Cabinet16.Showcase17.Dining table18.Dining chairs19. Hi-Fi set20.Small table

ACTIVATE YOUR RIGHT AND LEFT BRAINFunctions of the brain:Most of us use mainly the left brain. So it is necessary to do exercises that will activate

the right brain as well. I have mentioned some of those exercises above. But here aresome more exercises that will help to stimulate your right brain.

1. Shadow boxing or shadow writing with your left hand.2. Conducting with your left hand.3. Drawing and painting with your left hand.4. Describing things with your left hand.5. Lifting and carrying things with your left hand.6. Gymnastic exercises with your left hand.

7. Eating with your left hand.8. Waving with your left hand.

Other activities that will stimulate your right brain:1. Playing musical instrument or singing.2. Learning a new language, preferably Chinese. (I learned 16 languages in my life.

Some of them like Esparanto, Latin, and a few others are quite useless, but thevocabulary that I still retain help sharpen my memory tremendously.

3. Appreciation of art works.4. Writing and memorizing poetry.5. Memorizing passages from the Bible especially Psalms and Proverbs, Ecclesiastes

and Job. Steps to Christ. The Desire of Ages.6. Playing with balls7. Throwing darts and discs or saucers are also very good for developing your

neuron transmitter cells.
