1. Stand up, take a deep breath and slowly inhale for a count of four.

2. Hold your breath for a count of four (one-one-thousand, two…)

3. Exhale slowly to a count of four.

4. Now stretch your limbs, your arms way out, lift your feet, and twist your your torso left and right.

5. Next, shake yourself off like a dog coming out of the bathtub.

6. Finally, smack both your hands against the sides of your thighs and yell out, Let it go. In public, just say it mentally.

7. Repeat 1-7 with your eyes closed. The exercise requires just two-minutes.

Ah please, I am not going to medical school or need more junk to rattle around in my brain. I ask one simple question to decide if I am going to bother concentrating on every new discovery.

For example, who cares that some NASA folks found a couple drops of water on a planet out of our galaxy where the surface temperature is 1,000 degrees.

Are you and I ever going there on vacation to get a suntan?

My core question to decide Go/No-Go is, What Is In It For Me? How can I use this bit of wisdom to make my life better or easier. Once more – WIIFM?

Serotonin

This sucker is a neurotransmitter in your brain that seriously influences learning and memory. That is enough for me to want to know more because speed reading is the secret of how to 3x your learning and 2x your memory.

But no, Sero goes the distance. It involves the control of your appetite, sleep, your heart and how your mood operates. When folks suffer Bipolar depression they get a reduced flow of Serotonin to process.

Get this. Each single Serotonin neuron influences up to 500,000 target neurons. That is serious mind and body power and makes Serotonin the primary (first) neurochemical system in your brain.

For those who must know more, both of you, Sero begins in your Brainstem from a bunch of neurons called the Raphe nucleus. It resides in your Central Nervous System, intestinal wall and large blood vessels.

Hang-in for the usefulness. When Sero is excited it improves your mood together with better learning and memory. It is released by your neurons into the synapse (gap between neurons).

The Secret is in You. Forget the X-Files

When you get some stress in your life and adrenaline (epinephrine) is released, a spurt of Serotonin flows with it. The next best thing to stress is exercising your body. Your job is to excite more Sero, not inhibit it. Parkinson inhibits the production of Sero. Want better learning and memory? We got a two-minute strategy to ace your exams, interviews and presentations in school and career.

Science

Researchers at the University of Bristol and University College, London, headed up by Dr. Chris Lowry, report: when there is an imbalance in your immune system, we tended toward mood disorders and depression. His work shows why a healthy immune system with loads of Serotonin helps you maintain mental health.

Here is the heart of it. Human cancer patients were treated with simple bacteria called Mycobaterium vaccae, and reported an increase in their quality of life. The reason was the bacteria activated neurons in the brain containing Serotonin and improved their mood.

Secret Revealed

We call it Breathe, Stretch, Shake and Let it go, also the name of a song by Mase.

Did you know that exercising your breath control increases the amount of oxygen and glucose transported to your brain for better learning and memory?

Google: Endothelium (inner lining of blood vessels) and Vasodilation (widening) of blood vessels.

Who cares? When you are learning and using your memory you need 10% more oxygen and glucose than normal. Just floating around requires up to 22% of all your intake of oxygen for your three-pound cerebrum. Learning et al. increases the need to 32%. More oxygen and glucose (blood sugar), the better your skills.

Endwords

The international research on Serotonin is massive because of the need to treat depression and relieve the symptoms of Parkinson disease. For you, the purpose is learning and memory improvement. We suggest the skill of reading and remembering three-books, articles, and reports in the time others can hardly finish one is significant.

Would it be a competitive advantage in school and career to be up to 38% more productive? Would it help land you in the fast-lane in your career?

See ya,
