Anadrol description Drug Class: Highly Anabolic/Androgenic Steroid (Oral)

Pharmaceutical Name: Oxymetholone

Brand Name: Anadrol

Acne: Yes

Water Retention: Yes, high

High Blood Pressure: Yes

Liver Toxic: Yes, very high

How To Use Anadrol: Anadrol is unfortunately also the most harmful oral steroid. Its intake can cause many considerable side effects. Since it is I 7-alpha alkylated it is very liver toxic. Most users can expect certain pathological changes in their liver values after approximately one week. An increase in liver values of both the enzymes GOT and GPT also called transaminases, often cannot be avoided. Elevated GOT and GPT values are indications of hepatitis, i.e. a liver infection. Longer intake and/or higher doses can cause a yellow discoloration of fingernails, eyes, or skin jaundice). This is because oxymetholone induces an increase of biliburin in the liver, producing a bile pigment which causes the yellow discoloring of the skin. The liver enzyme gamma-GT also reacts sensitively to the oxymetholone, causing it to elevate

Anadrol Dosage: As for the dosage, opinions differ. A dosage sufficient for any athlete would be 0,5 – 0,8 mg per pound of body weight/day. This corresponds to 1-4 tablets; i.e. 50-200 mg/day. Under no circumstances should an athlete take more than four tablets in any given day. We are of the opinion that a daily intake of three tablets should not be exceeded. Those of you who would like to try Anadrol for the first time should begin with an intake of only one 50 mg tablet. After a few days or even better, after one week, the daily dosage can be increased to two tablets, one tablet each in the morning and evening, taken with meals. Athletes who are more advanced or weigh more than 220 pounds can increase the dosage to 150 mg/day in the third week.Athletes continue their treatment with injectable testosterone such as Sustanon or Testosterone enanthate for several weeks. Bodybuilders often combine Anadrol with Deca-Durabolin or Testosterone to build up strength and mass. Anadrol is to be taken seriously and the prevailing bodybuilder mentality “more is better” is out of place.

Anadrol characteristics

Anadrol (Oxymetholone) is without a doubt the strongest and most visibly active steroid to date. Not only does it act very rapidly, it causes a virtual explosion of mass. Gains of up to 10 pounds in 2 weeks are not uncommon. This is largely due to a moderate to low androgenic effect combined with a high anabolic activity also mediated by non-AR mechanisms (mechanisms other than simply binding the androgen receptor). You can imagine that the gains made on Anadrol aren’t the leanest. You would note a drastic smoothing out of the muscle due to estrogen-related fat (lipolysis) and water retention. This lipolysis has been shown to be rather drastic. One study1 on long-term hemodialysis patients showed beyond a doubt the role that Anadrol can play in causing hyperlipedemia. The fat deposition rate, post-hepatic (after processing by the liver), increased drastically in the Anadrol group while numbers remained stable in the control group.

It has been suggested that the estrogenic effects of Anadrol (Oxymetholone) may not be as much mediated by estrogen, as by Anadrol itself activating the estrogen receptor. Because there is little to no aromatisation off Anadrol, the possible progestational effect was examined first. Similar to that of nandrolone perhaps. But a study2 testing the progestational effects of Anadrol and methandrostenolone against those of testosterone as well as nandrolone and its metabolites showed that the progestagenic activity of Anadrol wasn’t even in the neighbourhood of that of testosterone, let alone nandrolone. Ruling out the possibility of progestagenic activity and aromatisation, that only left Anadrol engaging in a structure with the estrogen receptor itself. Since it has an A-ring similar to that of estradiol (the prime estrogen) so this would be the most logical explanation. Since progesterone acts as an estrogen agonist, it would require circulating estrogen to negotiate such levels of water build-up as Anadrol causes, so it seemed like a far-fetched idea to begin with.

The water component resulting from Anadrol (Oxymetholone) use is not be under-estimated either. The benefit of water retention is of course a lubrication of the joints, allowing the comfort of pain-free workouts even with extremely heavy weights, as well as the retention of more nutrients inside the cell, possibly leading to more permanent growth in muscle tissue. The downside to a massive water retention is that it gives you a rather puffed up look. A look not uncommon in off-season competitive bodybuilders and the heaviest classes of powerlifters. With the estrogen increase of course comes the increased risk of more side-effects such as gynocomastia (growth of breast tissue in men). Therefore its always advised that a cycle of Anadrol is accompanied by the use of an anti-estrogen such as Nolvadex. Nolvadex, keeping in mind that aromatase enzyme is not involved, would be the wiser choice as it blocks the receptor for estrogen rather than the aromatase enzyme. Its wise to note as well that the gains from Anadrol are largely mediated by estrogen, so reducing estrogen may reduce results as well.

Because it is mild androgen as well as a potent estrogen, blood volume is increased. Androgens raise the red blood cells (although this has been shown to happen through a mechanism other than erythropoesis3) to improve aerobic performance while estrogens increase the white blood cells in an attempt to stimulate the immunity. Couple that increase in blood cells to an increase in water and you get a serious increase in blood volume. This effect has been known to result in magnificent pumps for the users of Anadrol products. The synthesis of extra erythrocytes (Red blood cells) also increases stamina and performance (this effect is largely negated by the larger estrogenic component. Anadrol (Oxymetholone) is not a good product for athletes). Together with the unbelievable strength effect of Anadrol’s water retention that makes for some incredible workouts. On a side note, these characteristics make for anadrol’s popular use in treating anemia.

The Use Of Anadrol: The use of Anadrol (Oxymetholone) should be strict and brief. While it is no doubt the strongest steroid, quantitatively, its also by far the most hazardous steroid to your health. Apart from the great risk of common steroid-related side-effects (acne vulgaris, benign prostate hypertrophy, gynocomastia and androgenetic alopecia), it also has numerous other side-effects. Most notable is Anadrol’s hepatoxicity (damaging to the liver) : Its standard 17-alpha-alkylated as with most oral steroids, resulting in an inavoidable raise in liver transaminase enzyme counts. The most frequent of the hepatoxic effects is jaundice4 (yellow coloration of the skin) due to an Anadrol induced increase in biliburine, but others include peliosis hepatis and formation of hepatic tumors (cancer). And that’s not all. There is also a number of intrinsic side-effects noted with the use of this steroid. Headaches, stomach aches, nausea, vomiting, insomnia and diarrhea are among common afflictions associated with Anadrol use.

A lot of Oxymetholone products were discontinued in the early 90’s due to the high rate of side-effects, making them rather uninteresting. The renewed interest came when it was being effectively used in the treatment of the wasting disease AIDS, sparking a comeback. Nonetheless users should note that the original 50 mg Anadrol50 was taken over by Unimed. The original Anadrol50 by Syntex is no longer made or found. There has also been a surge of legit underground compounds such as the Ttokkyo oxymetolona 50. So be careful and do your homework when looking for Anadrol.

Stacking and Use: Anadrol is an oral only compound and is 17-alpha alkylated with a methylgroup to allow for a higher yield when having to traverse the liver, as with most oral compounds. As such it has a good degree of hepatoxicity and should not be used for longer than 6 weeks on end and it is highly recommended that you get your liver values checked regularly. Because of its long activity and poor affinity (due the the 17AA) good results can be obtained with a single daily dose, so spreading your doses out is an option but is anything but necessary. A single dose of 50-100 mg every day is recommended, but doses as high as 150 or 200 are used by experienced bodybuilders as well. Due to its rapid action and high toxicity, its mostly used to kickstart a longer injectable cycle in the first 3-5 weeks of that cycle. It will add a lot of mass and strength on immediately, getting you through the low-result beginning of an injectable cycle. Its use is thus very similar to that of Dianabol, but with the latter being slightly more versatile.

As such it makes a good match early in a stack with you standard testosterone/nandrolone stacks, with boldenone (equipoise) and methenolone (primobolan) as well. Since it has a high intrinsic affinity for the estrogen receptor and next to no intrinsic affinity for the androgen receptor I doubt anyone would contemplate using this for cutting. To even out the massive water retention one might choose to stack it with trenbolone (finaplix/parabolan) or stanazolol (Winstrol/Stromba) but never for the purpose of looking lean. Anadrol, like Dianabol, may also be one of the few orals that has real merit when using it alone. Although the gains are often hard, near impossible to keep afterwards.

In terms of secondary drugs, I wish I had a lot to recommend here, but really there isn’t much to be helped with Anadrol. Even with liver protection it would still do serious damage and with every bit of added protection, the efficacy rate of Anadrol would go down. As for estrogen maintenance, Nolvadex being the strongest of estrogen receptor antagonists comes highly recommended and preferably in higher than normal doses, 30-40 mg, as its Anadrol itself that is the culprit and not its aromatized form. On the other hand, we need to take into account that more than half of Anadrol’s anabolic action stems from this estrogenic action as well. So its sort of trading less side-effects for gains. One thing that is advised is blood pressure medication as extreme hypertension has been noted. And I’ll say it a third and last time, its best to get regular liver check-ups when taking Anadrol.

Since my article “Lose Weight Gain Muscles With Human Growth Hormones” was published, I have received many emails asking about the scientific and research findings of this seemingly “miracle antidote for anti aging.” So is it true that supplementing with human growth hormones releasers can make us look and feel younger? These questions compelled me to do further research on the subject and here are more findings.

The human growth hormone (hgh) was first discovered in the mid 1950s and its structure was only identified in 1972.

Before 1998 when artificial synthetic HGH molecules were genetically engineered (steroids) and made available, hgh compounds were at that time extracted from cadavers and injected into the human body as HGH replacement therapy. Scary huh?

Since then, there have been hundreds clinical research and studies investigating the capabilities and supposed benefits of hgh. The scientific and medical communities is in agreement that one of the main causes of the aging process (dying process?) is the decrease of human growth hormone production as we age.

A President of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, Dr. Ronald Klatz, M.D once said, “The Aging process appears to be due in large part to the drastic decline of growth hormone in the body after adulthood.”

According to some human growth hormone research, the normal level of circulating HGH is about 10 mg per deciliter of blood in our early 20s but this level drop rapidly as we age and by the time we are 60 or so, the level will decrease by as much as 80% to only 2 milligrams per deciliter. Is it any wonder why we age so rapidly after 60?

It is now known that this growth hormone is what grow and repair our cells, bones, muscles and internal organs. It is also well established that the declining level of human growth hormones is the factor that slowly robs us of our youth and vitality because by the age of 30, the natural secretion rate of HGH in our bodies drop by about 14% per decade.

Going by this simple fact, by the time we turn 80, we would barely be able to produce enough growth hormones to repair a bruise on our toe! This thus explains why injuries on older people take a much longer time to heal, that is, if they do get healed.

In my profession as a fitness personal trainer, this is more evident to me as I am able to observe the workout recovery rate, muscle growth and weight loss effect on my clients first hand across the ages.

My younger clients are invariably (except for exceptional circumstances) able to recover faster from their weight training, lose weight faster and build muscle mass more effectively than my older clients. Of course this is not surprising although now we know why that is so.

The New England Journal of Medicine first published the clinical findings of Daniel Rudman, MD, regarding his HGH human growth hormone research on the anti-aging effects of HGH when he studied his research subjects of 61 to 81 year olds at the Medical College of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

After six months, Dr. Rudman observed a reversal of the aging process of 10 to 20 years in the patients who received HGH injections. This amzing fact meant that human beings can now reverse their biological age!

As for the group who did not receive hgh injections, the normal aging process continued as per normal.

Dr Rudman’s study also noted the amazing effects of HGH therapy on obese people between the ages of 61 and 80. The study subjects did not change their eating or exercise habits. The results are that those who were treated with HGH replacement therapy lost an average of almost 15% of their body fat and at the same time gaining an average of 8.8% lean muscle mass.

Their skin also became firmer and they further experienced increase in bone density. This discovery took the weight loss, bodybuilding and weight lifting industry by storm!

More clinical research studies performed over the past few decades further confirmed that hgh can allow users to lose fat, build muscle mass, improve sexual performance, remove wrinkles, get rid of man breast, reduce cellulite, grow taller and increase immune function. In other words, the fountain of youth may have been discovered!

“The effects of six months of human growth hormone on lean body mass and adipose-tissue were equivalent in magnitude to the changes incurred during 10-20 years of aging.” reported Daniel Rudman.

A study of growth hormone replacement therapy in the elderly published in March 1992, V.A. Medical Center and Department of Medicine, Stanford University Medical Center stated that “It is possible that chronic physiologic GH and or IGF-I replacement therapy might reverse (or prevent) some of these “inevitable” health problems of aging.”

“Replacement therapy with Growth Hormone has shown beneficial/normalizing effect on parameters such as cardiac and renal function, thyroid hormone metabolism, bone metabolism, sweat secretion, total and regional fuel metabolism and psychological well being…” – Dr. Jorgensen and Dr. Christian of Copenhagen, Denmark, in European Journal of Endocrinology, 1994

“Daily Administration of human growth hormone in the first week after trauma would enhance the metabolic status… resulting in reduced morbidity and earlier discharge from hospital.” – Journal of Surgery. Vol 111, 495-502 quoting Drs. Ramias, Shamos, and Schiller of St. Joseph Hospital Medical Center in Phoenix, AZ, May 1992

“All adults with growth hormone deficiency should now be considered for growth hormone replacement therapy.” Dr. Jake Powrie, M.D. and Dr. Andrew Weissberger, St. Thomas Hospital, London England

As explained in my earlier article, growth hormone replacement injections are very expensive and are out of reach of most people. Furthermore, it can only be administered by a trained doctor making the process expensive, cumbersome and painful because patients will have to have the HGH injected a few times a day at the time of writing this article.

In many countries, the administration of growth hormones replacement therapies are banned and made illegal because of the risks of severe side effects.

Therefore the easiest and safest way is to increase your own body’s natural growth hormone’s production naturally. There are many ways of doing this such as eating the right food, the timing of your meals, your exercise program and of course, supplementation with ghg enhancers to encourage your body to produce more natural human growth hormones.

Wishing you all the best in your quest to feel and look younger.

I play softball, and as the catcher, I’m obviously involved in nearly every play. My coach has been wanting me to focus more on speed than on throwing correctly. For about two weeks, every time after practice, my arm, right above the elbow on the outside, hurts. It is like a shooting pain through my shoulder. I’ve been icing it, but that only works temporarily. For example, I caught our starting pitcher’s pitching practice (I’m 15, starting catcher on an 18 U C team) and my arm hurt. I went home and iced it. An hour later, I took the ice off and went to my second practice with my pitcher. My arm now hurts A LOT and so I put ice in a Ziploc baggie, then wrapped and Ace bandage around the baggie and my arm. It. Still. Hurts. Like, A TON!!!

What do you think I did to my elbow? I’ve been playing for 8 years, and it’s never hurt like this.

sounds like tendinitis, see a doc for an mri to make sure you haven’t torn or strained a muscle

Anyone who has ever tried to lose weight knows all about calories and how they are the bain of the diet industry. The idea is simple, if you eat fewer calories then you expend during your daily existence you will lose weight. The problem is that while most people understand this concept it seems the majority of us have a hard time accomplishing it. Probably the major reason is most people do not understand how their metabolism works in relation to the type of calories they eat.

Calories are the fuel that makes our body’s run. Without adequate calories our metabolism slows down and our body systems will begin to malfunction. This is not good because as our metabolism slows the body begins to cannibalize its muscle tissue for energy while hoarding what fat stores it has and converting any excess calories it can find back into fatty storage. If you’ve ever tried a crash diet this is basically what happens. The last thing anyone wants when attempting to lose weight is a slow down of their metabolism which will render any diet and weight loss goals nearly impossible.

So how do negative calorie foods fit into all this? And what is a negative calorie food? Contrary to what it sounds like they are not foods that have a negative amount of calories. All foods have calories; some more than others and depending on the food these calories are metabolized in different ways by the body’s digestive system. The theory behind a negative calorie food is quite simple actually. It is believed that some foods use more calories during the digestive process then they actually contain. Now as odd as that may sound there is some truth to the idea behind negative calorie foods.

Before we explain why it would take more calories to metabolize some foods and not others let take a quick look at how calories are used. Let’s say you eat a piece of cake before bed that contains 350 calories, and most of that is all from sugar. Your body expends 75 calories digesting that piece of cake leaving you with a net gain of 275 calories. Where do those extra calories go? Straight to fat storage. Now let’s say you eat a negative calorie food like a grapefruit (some of you are probably familiar with the grapefruit diet fads) that has 35 calories. If it takes the body 90 calories to digest and metabolize that grapefruit your body will have burned an extra 55 calories with no additional work from you.

How does this happen? Most negative calorie foods fall into the fruits and vegetables families. Because fruits and vegetables are nutrient dense and contain lots of fiber the digestive system must work extra hard to extract these nutrients for use by the body. The high fiber content also contributes to the negative calorie phenomenon because fiber digestion is one of the most energy intensive processes the body undertakes when it comes to metabolizing food.

This brings us back to the point moms used to belabor upon their kids about eating foods that are good for them. That’s what it’s all about. In this day and age many of the foods we consume are not that good for us. They contain mainly empty calories that the body quickly and easily stores away as fat, expending very little energy in the process. And with our more sedentary lifestyles the vast majority of people simply do not expend more calories then they consume while the food we do eat has very little nutritional value. If you are looking for a way to increase your metabolism and lose some weight it might be wise to heed the words about eating nutritious foods that moms used to speak in days gone past. You are what you eat.

If you read part 1 of this article then you know the two biggest misconceptions about stomach fat. First being that fat is fat no matter where it is located. Second being that since it’s the same there is no way to target a specific area to lose fat just there. As such the only way to get rid of belly fat is to get rid of all fat. With that in mind, the best exercise to lose weight are those that burn the highest amount of calories.

Best Exercise to Lose Weight

Going by the above, the more calories an exercise burns, the better it is for losing weight. Naturally some exercise are better at this than others, in general the more muscle groups are involved in performing a specific exercise the calories it will burn. For example running for the most part only involves leg muscles (and some core) where as playing tennis or basketball would also involve arm and core muscles in addition to leg muscles. And so long as intensity is the same, the two sports would result in more calories burned than just running for the same amount of time.

The other way to burn more calories with an exercise is to increase the intensity at which it is performed. The higher the intensity the more calories will be burned. In a way, intensity allows you to do more with less. For example doing five 100 meters sprints with one or even two minutes between each will most likely burn more calories than running for 10 minutes. Increased intensity also allows you to work around your body’s adaptation.

Also, while it’s not exercise related diet and supplements are also very important. Supplements such as acai berry can greatly improve one’s weight loss from exercise and diet. Acai berry increases energy levels, helps body eliminate toxins and a lot more – read acai burn review. Diet should be pretty self explanatory, the better your diet the easier it is to lose weight. Without a diet it’s almost impossible to lose pounds unless you work out at high intensity for hours every day.

Now that you know what exercise are the best for losing weight, you might still be able to lose stomach fat before the summer! Of course, you need to start right away with exercise, diet and acai berry supplement, but it’s certainly possible to lose a good amount of weight before the summer is here. So, good luck!

Have you ever looked at a bodybuilder and tried to determine if he is natural or not?  It’s often tough to distinguish.  If the athlete has gotten into contest shape and managed to maintain most of his muscle mass, it can be a telltale sign.  However, there is one visual giveaway that usually lets everyone in the room know who is juicing, and who is not – the “pop”.

When a bodybuilder first uses anabolic steroids, the deltoids (shoulders) and quadriceps (thighs) are the first muscle groups to explode with growth.  Natural bodybuilders very rarely have that “pop” in these muscle groups.  They might have very strong shoulders and legs – but in order to attain the rounded, cannonball delts which “pop out”, they either have to have one-in-a-million genetics, or they have to enter the world of AAS.  The shoulder and thigh regions are very dense with muscle cell receptors.  When a bodybuilder first uses AAS, he notices his squat and bench numbers skyrocket overnight, as a result of the muscles being required for these lifts (shoulders and thighs) initiating so much growth. 

To make the most out of your shoulder development without the use of anabolic steroids (or to attain some world-class shoulder using AAS), there are a few key points which should be followed.

Don’t neglect traps
Many bodybuilders tend to avoid training their traps muscles with exercises like shrugs and upright rows, for fear this will eliminate the V-taper and make them appear narrow.  While it’s true that extremely large traps on a very narrow man will remove some perception of width, it’s imperative that 99% of bodybuilders do train the traps in order to ensure the deltoids are receiving stimulation from every possible angle.

Vary rep ranges
In every shoulder workout, use both high- and low- repetition ranges.    Complete seated dumbbell military presses for 3 sets of 6 to 8 reps, then two sets of 12 to 20 repetitions.  The deltoids are a dense muscle group, and there is no way of estimating your fast to slow twitch muscle fiber ratio.  To solve this, train using both sets of fibers!

Consider training them twice a week
In preparation for his 2008 Mr. Olympia debut, bodybuilder Phil Heath did what many other bodybuilders have done in recent years to challenge one body part to grow “one years’ worth” in only six months – train them twice per week.  Training every body part in this fashion would quickly lead to overtraining and a crash of the central nervous system.  However, training only shoulders twice per week can stimulate them in new ways, creating new growth.

Cables
Many bodybuilders enter the gym and run directly for the free weight section.  This is very good for stimulating growth in the major muscle groups, of course.  However, the shoulders are one of those muscle groups which benefit tremendously from continuous tension.  Allowing a dumbbell to come to rest doesn’t allow that – but cable side and front raises keep continuous tension on the delts.  Give them a shot!

Bodybuilding is a sport of building muscle. Bigger and stronger is the name of the game. One of the great things about bodybuilding is that you can achieve great results with only very basic equipment and a few hours of training three to four times per week.

The key to building bigger and stronger muscles is to keep progressively adding more and more weight over time. Building bigger muscles is about consistent regular training, eating properly, getting plenty of rest, and lots of weight at low repetitions.

As a starting any new exercise program, is important a first check with your physician before starting a bodybuilding program. In the beginning is important that you start slow and learn proper technique. Time and time again professional body builders have said that technique is one of most important aspects of getting a good workout. It might be helpful to schedule a session with a professional trainer in the beginning so you start on the right track. If this is not an option for you there are various instructional books on the subject of bodybuilding. Above all take the time to learn proper technique.

Lifting heavy weight damages muscle fibers. It is only when the muscles repair themselves that they grow larger and stronger. For this reason it is very important that each muscle group is given plenty of rest following each workout. This is why most body builders alternate muscle groups. For example, you might work on your back on Monday, your legs on Tuesday, your chest on Wednesday, and your arms on Friday. Most successful body builders will recommend that you not work a particular muscle group more than twice per week.

The question may come up of whether it is best to use weight machines or free weights. The general consensus is that free weights are your best option for increasing muscle mass. Machines are typically used for isolating muscles and this is something that only professional body builders need to do before contest.

The following are some basic exercises for the major muscle groups.

Chest

1. Flat Bench Press

2. Dips

3. Incline Bench Press

Legs

1. Squats

2. Straight Leg Dead Lifts

3. Leg Press

Back

1. Pull ups

2. Barbell Rows

3. Deadlifts

Biceps

1. Curls

2. Incline curls

Triceps

1. Lying Tricep Extensions

2. Close Grip Bench Press

Shoulders

1. Military Press.

Remember to increase muscle size you will need to progressively increase poundage. Be patient. Overworking your muscles can actually have adverse effects. If you maintain a consistent regular workout routine coupled with proper nutrition and rest you will begin to see results in no time. Keep in mind it is common to see more obvious results initially and in overtime your gains will seem less apparent. This is because your body becomes used to your work out routine and in a sense knows what to expect. It is helpful to keep your body guessing by changing your workout routine on a regular basis.

We aren’t so much talking about the physical structure of the brain itself – or are we? Medical and psychological research recently has pointed to the emerging idea that the more you exercise your brain, the better it will work in your old age and the more resistant you will be to Alzheimer’s, dementia, and general cognitive impairments. It is very difficult to say exactly how this works – what, for instance, are we to make of the recent clinical test where a group who was taught how to juggle showed a marked improvement in abstract intelligence after one month?

It is becoming certain that the less people exert themselves mentally, the less able they are to handle mental exertion. The classic case is the “couch potato”, particularly someone with a desk job by day and not much recreation beyond watching television at night. “Use it or lose it.” An interesting footnote to the couch potato effect is that the acts of sitting still and staring at a lit screen for periods of time don’t seem to be the causes of mental atrophy in themselves. Computer users do the same thing, but the difference is that computers are interactive while television demands that you sit and watch and thus, computer users – even if they’re just playing video games – tend to keep their mental skills sharp where the television-watchers slowly lose their edge.

Of course, the physical atrophy of the brain is somewhat uncovered. Cerebral atrophy, which is the loss of neurons and the connections between them, has been pinpointed as a symptom or associated effect of strokes, Alzheimer’s, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and many other diseases in which mental acuity is decreased. By the time any of these have set in, however, it is too late to take a preventative measure.

But our purpose here is to talk about the stimulation of a healthy brain in order to keep it healthy. And there is a mounting body of evidence that it is quite possible to do just that. Some of the latest findings are:

* Neuroscience researchers at Northwestern University have uncovered the first concrete evidence that playing music can significantly enhance the brain and sharpen hearing for all kinds of sounds. Experience with music appears to help with many other things in life. Such activities as reading or picking up nuances in tones of voices or hearing sounds in a noisy classroom better are all sharpened by playing music.

* Neurologists at Columbia University Medical Center in New York have discovered that (physical) exercise boosts brainpower by building new brain cells in the brain regions linked with memory and memory loss. Tests on mice showed that they grew new brain cells in a part of the hippocampus that is known to be affected in the age-related memory decline that begins around age 30 for most humans.

* Researchers at the University of Rochester have shown that people who played action video games for a few hours a day over the course of a month improved their performance on a visual acuity test. The conclusion is that action-based video game play changes the way our brains process visual information.

* In a study by researchers at the Wellcome Trust Center for Neuroimaging at UCL’s Institute of Neurology, a series of brain scans performed on taxi drivers and bus drivers showed that the mid-posterior hippocampus of all the taxi drivers was bigger and that they had more gray matter than the bus drivers. The one big difference between the two is that bus drivers stick to routes, while taxi drivers have to learn the layout of the whole city.

The downside of our new technology age just might be that having more and more electronic convenience devices exerts a terrible toll in robbing the brain of needed stimulation. In the taxi driver study above, the researchers advocated against using a GPS system to navigate, because of course that’s one more robot doing the thinking for you – and one less source of stimulation to the brain!

If you have a patient who you think would benefit from some mental stimulation, here are some ideas you might want to try out. The good news is that none of these are sheer drudgery – encourage the patient to think of them as little games, or to pick something they will enjoy.

* Toss the calculator. Re-learn how to do sums in your head, for instance in figuring the tip at restaurants or mentally keeping a tally on the total price of items in your cart when you do grocery shopping. Stress that the point of this is not to become a human calculator, but to see how close you can come with practice. For the grocery shopping, rounding prices to the nearest dime and recalling the current total at the end of each aisle is quite easy, and you’ll often find yourself off by no more than a dollar by the time you check out – even on a $200 purchase!

* Make out a grocery list or to-do list – but then as you run the errand, don’t look at the list! The simple act of writing things down helps your brain remember the list, and you can always peek at it if you forget an item. Keep at this practice until you can do without a list at all.

* Do word puzzles like crosswords and jumbles. Make a habit of seeking the puzzle out every day in the newspaper. Again, the object is not to become perfect at it – but just starting the crossword and seeing how far you get at it is enough to practice a little while.

* Do other kinds of puzzles. These include mazes, spatial reasoning brain-teasers, and the popular soduku puzzles. These have the same benefits as the word puzzles, but exercise different areas of the brain.

* Learn a new word per week. Not just looking it up, but also using it a few times in conversation. The rule of thumb is “Say it three times and it’s yours.” Our thoughts, in a manner of speaking, are made up of words, and so each new word we learn allows us to think new thoughts.

* Take up a new hobby or activity. It doesn’t have to be an all-consuming pursuit or even an expensive one. Simple pastimes like orgami, poetry recital, telling jokes, juggling, assembling jigsaw puzzles, sketching, or bird watching are cheap and simple to participate in, and provide many benefits. The idea is more to step out of your “comfort zone” and challenge yourself to master a new activity that you never thought of yourself doing.

* Get more involved with your computer and other electronic devices. Really read the owner’s manual and learn how to use all the features – less than one percent of us actually do that! take up a new technology-related skill such as web design or programming – these are not at all as hard as people think they are! Or before throwing away an old computer or a broken VCR, try taking it apart first. See if you can figure out why it broke, or how it works at all. Look up a diagram on the device and see if you can identify the major parts.

* Lose your Microsoft Windows dependency and try a new Open Source operating system, one that you can download for free, such as Linux or BSD. These operating systems are like little computer science lessons, teaching you how computers work and forcing you to confront and solve more situations than an environment that does everything for you.
