Improve brain function , prevent alzheimers with this practice

A study published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease in April confirmed that yoga and a form of meditation known as Kirtan Kriya improved brainfunctioning by increasing connectivity, improving memory, and decreasing mood aberration.

The Alzheimer’s Research & Prevention Foundation in Tucson, Arizona, has been studying the effects yoga meditation has on the brain and discovered (confirmed, really) that a certain form of yoga meditation, known as Kirtan Kriya, can have immediate, long-term positive benefits for the brain. Practicing this simple twelve-minute yoga meditation has been shown to bring about the following benefits:

• Improve cerebral blood flow (help you think better).
• Improve blood flow to the posterior cingulated gyrus (improve memory retrieval).
• Increase activity in the frontal lobe (sharpen attention, concentration, and focus).
• Replenish vital neurotransmitters and brain chemicals, such as acetylcholine, norepinephrine, and dopamine (which help the brain function more smoothly).
• Increase energy levels, improve sleep quality, reduce stress (lower cortisol levels).
• Improve both short- and long-term psychological health and spiritualwell being.
