Bring mindful awareness to how your brain reacts to feeling threatened.
helped keep our ancestors alive. Consequently, we are vulnerable to being alarmed, manipulated, and even intimidated by threats, both real ones and “paper tigers.”
Therefore, understanding how your brain became so vigilant and wary and so easily hijacked by an alarm is the first step toward gaining more control over that ancient circuitry.
In your brain, negative stimuli produce more neural activity than do equally intense positive ones. They are also perceived more easily and quickly. For example, people in studies can identify angry faces more quickly than they can happy ones. Even if they are shown these images so quickly that they cannot have any conscious recognition of them — just a tenth of a second or so — the ancient fight-or-flight machinery system of the brain will still get activated by the angry faces.

Saturated fat may interfere with creating memories in aged brainNew research hints at a few ways fatty foods affect cells in the brain, a finding that could help explain the link between a high-fat diet and impaired memory -- especially as we age. A new study in cell cultures found the omega-3 fatty acid DHA may help protect the brain from an unhealthy diet's effects by curbing fat-induced inflammation at the cellular source.
