http://mouniraswad.blogspot.com/

Max Lugavere wrote the book after his mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer. He researched and read thousands of papers on the subject, meet with many Doctors and Nutrition experts. What distinguishes his work is the listing of the top 10, the insertion of carb day in one's week for “Metabolic flexibility,” and the considerable importance of fasting. 

Note regarding genes: contrary to the belief that neurogenesis happens only during youth, we create neurons during all of our lifetimes. Our choices can't change our genetics but can change chemicals on top of our DNA Called epigenome, thus improving or altering the result.

P.S, regarding my summary, I listed the top 10 first then categorized similar points together.

This summary is written using Microsoft Word 365 and utilizes Heading Categorization, however, on the internet it losses this great functionality.

.
If you want to boost your brain power, keep your memory, lift your mood and energy, as well as heal from a host of other common complaints, this book is for you.
.

I summarized the book by grouping titles/ideas together for easier reference.
In another word, the way you see the information below doesn't necessarily mirror how it was presented in the book. In fact, it may be completely the opposite, for example, the section on recommendations and what to avoid was compiled from different sections of the book and presented here as one first section. This was done to ensure no one misses these recommendations as they maybe the most important takeaways. In addition to the fact that there are some medical explanations later on that some may find too complicated or lengthy.

Thank you sun

I had the privilege of meeting a man they called here in the west "HRM" and host his stay for one day in my home when he was in Toronto area. His real name is "Hira Ratan Manek" and he utilizes sun gazing to obtain his energy and heal his body. The energy he gets from sun gazing made up also for all the food he needs! He has eaten very little of solid food for the last 8 years, and lives primarily on fluid such as water and occasional tea or coffee.

Mr. Riha also indicates the importance of sun gazing (early in the morning or an hour prior to sun dawn) to achieve both spiritual growth and physical growth.



I think depriving our bodies of sun is absolutely a certificate of disease and death. Our planet's life depends on the light of the sun and couldn't sustain life without it. We should all be grateful for this element of life.

I will be updating this blog and writing here some reviews of the benefit of sun in general and other updated info regarding sun gazing in specific.

What it is all about..

When I wrote my previous post regarding money, I didn't mean that money is the only thing we need to care about. In fact the care for money only is addiction of the worst kind!

I went running this morning, beautiful, it was actually snowing, but when you run things happen, you feel better for some reason. Something kicks in your physical and changes your state that makes you wanna raise your hand in victory for every by-passer and smile to everyone.

So, after I was done, I sat there in front of the house, it was early in the morning, it is Good Friday today, no one was there, very peaceful, I can only hear my breath and my iPod synchronizing in a strange way. The land was white, and there was this beautiful bird who passed in front of me saluting me for completing my morning mission...The whole thing was magical.

So what is it we want from life after all, isn't it simply the enjoyment of it and the peace of mind? Coin and paper money maybe a mean to give you the chance to experience that by Not worrying about your finance in addition to other things like your physical state, relationships, and others..and if we can reach the stage where we can remain in that state of mind despite any circumstances, wouldn't that be all we would ever need here on earth?
