Teaching Old Dogs New Tricks
Most people think of aging in association with a decline of the brain and body. While it's true that your body systems tend to breakdown faster the older you get, this is not out of your control. You do not have to allow your physical or mental capacities to weaken with time. You can do something about it and keep your Brain Fit.Befriending Grandfather TimeIt's not about trying to prevent aging, that's impossible. But you do have a lot of control over how gracefully you enter your older years and you can work on your brain at any age, in fact, the sooner the better.While there is no magic elixir of youth, many nutrients show a benefit of keeping minds sharp throughout life. A couple of new studies highlight a few of these nutrients in particular.Eat your spinachOne nutrient, folate, has long been suspected to provide benefit to the brain. It's known that folate is a crucial nutrient during pregnancy for appropriate neurological development, but it seems to play a significant role in the older adult brain as well.Several studies show that people with higher levels of folate in their blood do better on cognitive tests. Now, new data using a large population of participants from 60 to 90 years old, add fuel to that argument.Researchers studied over a thousand older adults by looking at their folate levels, performance on cognitive tests and brain scans to determine how all of these related. They found that higher folate levels associated with better performance on mental tasks, especially related to processing speed.They also found that higher folate levels associated with fewer breakdowns of white matter tracts in the brain Cheap Snapbacks. White matter is like the ?wiring' that connects different parts of the brain together. So maintaining your white matter ?wiring' literally allows you to connect your thoughts.What foods are high in folate? Spinach, asparagus, lentils and garbanzo beans are some of the best folate sources. A half cup of all these foods provides about 200 micrograms, which is half of your minimum daily requirement of 400 micrograms.Teaching old dogs new tricksAnother couple of nutrients, alpha-lipoic acid (LA) and acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC), also received recent high marks in brain research recently Chicago White Sox Snapback. This study used dogs and provided some insight into the brain boosting benefits of these two nutrients. While dogs are not people, they provide a good model for studying certain aspects of cognitive decline.LA and ALC have been implicated in brain health in the past, both individually and as part of complex food mixtures. They most likely work by protecting the health of your mitochondria, which are the power plants in all of your cells. Brain cells in particular require a lot of energy to do their job and mitochondria are very important.The new study looked at LA and ALC acting together, given as supplements. The results showed that old dogs that received the supplement had a striking improvement in the ability to learn new tricks, especially related to spatial learning wholesale snapbacks.Wide varieties of animal and plant sources contain these nutrients. LA is high in kidney, heart and liver as well as spinach and broccoli. A form of ALC is high in beef, chicken and dairy. But this mostly lacks the acetyl part, which is good for making brain chemicals involved in memory. The best source of the right form of ALC for brain health is probably supplements.You are what you eatThese studies don't suggest that you can just start popping supplements in order to ensure life-long brain health and fitness. However, they do support the notion that some nutritional supplements can help, especially if combined with a healthy diet and regular moderate exercise.The old adage that ?you are what you eat' applies to your brain as well. In fact, it probably applies to your brain more than anything else since the brain uses 5 to 10 times it's share of the energy that you get from your food. Even though the brain only weights about 2% of your body, it uses 10 ? 20% of the calories that you consume.Your diet literally goes to your head.

The reading component of the IELTS test
Introduction to the IELTS testThe International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is a test of English language proficiency, developed by the University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate. Today IELTS is accepted as evidence of a prospective student’s level of English by most universities in English speaking countries.There are two different IELTS tests that you can do: Academic and General. But this test is usually taken for university admissions. IELTS is not just a test that you can pass or fail. Your English proficiency skills are reported according to a scale from bands one to nine. Tests and tasks conducted have been designed keeping in view the general interests of the educated people, so the person taking the test needs not to do any specialist courses. The test contains four parts – Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking.The reading component of the IELTS testThe IELTS reading test duration is one hour. During this time the candidate has to read three texts of between 500 and 900 words each Wholesale Beanie Hats. The texts and questions increase in difficulty. He has to answer 40 questions within the time limit of 60 minutes. Most students find it difficult to complete the whole paper, so it is important for candidates to be completely prepared for all the tests. The writing component of the IELTS testThe IELTS writing test takes one hour. During this one hour the candidate has to complete two tasks. ?TASK ONE: Task one is a report based on some graphic information provided on the question paper. The graphic information will come in one of five forms. The candidate is required to describe the information in 15 words. Task One should be completed in 20 minutes Beanies Hats. It is important that the candidate is familiar with the language to produce a strong report. ?TASK TWO: The next task is an essay based on a topic given on the question paper. The candidate should write at least 250 words in 40 minutes. It is recommended that the candidate should follow the advised time limits as Task Two carries more Band weight than Task One. Remember that unreadable handwriting will cost the final score.The listening component of the IELTS testThe IELTS listening test takes approximately 30 minutes.The listening material is recorded on a cassette tape which the candidate will hear only once. The test is divided into four sections in order of increasing difficulty. First two sections are based on general interest such as a report of a bank robbery or a speech from a politician. Section one will be a dialogue and section two will be a monologue.Sections three and four will have an education focus. There will be a lecture and a discussion between two to four people cheap snapbacks wholesale.As the candidate listens he should write his answers on the question booklet. At the end of the recorded material he will be given ten minutes to copy his answers onto the fresh answer sheet.The candidate should be well prepared for the listening test as many people don’t feel confident of giving a smooth test.The speaking component of the IELTS testThe IELTS speaking test takes between 11 and 14 minutes and is in the form of an oral interview between the candidate and an examiner. During the interview the candidate has to answer the questions asked by the interviewer.The interview consists of:?Some general questions about yourself, your life and your interests ?A short talk on a particular topic ?A discussion of issuesIt is strongly recommended that the candidate should relax and speak as confidently as he can because candidates losing their confidence in this test can affect their band scores.
