5 Steps to Improve Your Knowledge

5 Steps to Improve Your Knowledge

 If you aren't currently in school, learning something new does not become part of our daily routine. You most likely think how would I have the time? Work, house chores, the kids, and just every day errands, it may not seem like its possible. But, we are here to broaden your horizons and tell you how you can improve your knowledge in your everyday life!


  • Read- Pick out books, newspapers, websites, encyclopedias, anything with information that teaches you something you didn't already know. Play Trivial Pursuit or watch Jeopardy. Learn something new every day. In my opinion, there are no such things as useless facts. If it's part of our world, its worth knowing. Embrace lifelong learning!
  • Listen- Sounds simple enough, but it's so easy to be distracted. Focus on the speaker, if you don't hear it the first time ask the person to repeat it. Make sure you understand what's been said. You will be surprised what you can learn. One of my favorite quotes about listening is "when you talk, you are only repeating what you already know. But if you listen, you may learn something new."- Dalai Lama.
  • Pay Attention- See what is happening around you. According to MENSA, the organization for people with high IQs, current research shows that at least 52% of our intelligence is based on our environment.
  • Exercise- What is good for the body is good for the brain. Exercise for at least 20 minutes can help pump more oxygen to the brain and provide a nourishing environment for the growth of brain cells. Another reason not to put off taking care of yourself!
  •  Get Some Sleep- Our country is chronically sleep deprived, which negatively affects our thought processes. While sleeping our brain flushes out the toxic molecules that build up during awake hours & helps storing information related to motor tasks. So along with "beauty sleep", go for the "smart sleep".  

You will soon learn that you are capable of more than you imagined. You will also learn to recognize your limitations. If you know that you don't something, or don't know how to find an answer, you'll know it's time to ask for help.

The Brain Connection

THE BRAIN CONNECTION: Research proves chiropractic adjustments affect: How you feel, How You Learn,   Your memory,   Your Consciousness, Your Motivation, Your Motor Control, Your Self-Awareness , How You Think, The Decisions You Make & How You Experience Touch and Pain. In 2014, Gay and fellow researchers concluded “…pain-free volunteers processed thermal stimuli applied to the hand before and after thoracic (mid-back) spinal manipulation (chiropractic spinal adjustment). What they found was that after thoracic manipulation, serveral brain regions demonstrated a reduction in peak BOLD (blood-oxygen-lebel-dependent) activity. Those regions include the cingulate, insular, motor, amygdala and somatosensory cortices, and the PAG (periaqueductal gray regions)” (p. 615). In other words, chiropractic adjustments produced direct and measureable effects on the central nervous system across multiple regions. Brain Region: Function: Cing...

(1) How does the flu shot cause Alzheimer's? Dr. Fudenberg states the mercury in flu shots (and many childhood shots as well as some RhoGam shots) cross the blood-brain barrier causing brain damage. Mercury has also been linked to ADHD and autism. Alzheimer's is expected to quadruple. Are flu shot the reason? (2) How many really die of the flu? Reports clai...
