How to have healthy brain?

My late Ah Kong lived till he was 92... He was an avid reader of books and papers, and he would also went for his daily walks in the morning and evening.. He always told me that reading keeps the mind alert.. And on top of that he would always have some brandy once a week...

my mum is 95 and her mind is sharper than mine. I believe it has a lot to do with actively using her mind everyday. For decades, she had been doing marketing and planning the house meals without the aid of pencil and paper. Everything was planned and memorized in her head.
 
i have this problem that is whenever i am very stressed or under extreme pressure, i can feel my mind get very exhausted,and anxiety kicks in. last time, when i attend meetings, when we were pressed for solutions, i tend to feel the same.
till today, i have no solution for this problem. any bro can advise what can i do?:(

i did not feel this way when i was a section leader in army, i only developed this condition in my working life. could it be cigarettes or alcohol-daily consumption.:(

You can try drinking ice cold water to soothe your nerves, or just do the simple breathing in and out exercise.. Try cutting down on any caffeine stuff as it can trigger nervousness.... In fact I feel that smoking ciggarettes are quite helpful for me during stressful times..:D
 
1. Definition of the level of stress and extreme pressure is relative and varies among different individuals. Was the stress caused by perceived competence and expecations gap?

2. Or maybe brain lacking in certain chemicals produced by our body that cause anxiety.

3. Heard of students froze and unable to perform in the exam hall, due to fear and stress i guess:o

Maybe Krafty got nerve problem. One childhood friend in poodle force had some marital problems, had a near breakdown, went to doctor and was dignosed with nerve problem. Teenage time, in the army he would just shiver uncontrollably when under physical and mental stress.:o Everyone thought he keng.:p

Did you breakdown even once ?

This is because you may be able to work on sustained pressure, but if you ever had a breakdown (all being pushed to the brink that you felt you were going to breakdown) especially with the element of 'fear' present ?

I believe you have had a breakdown before, you could never return to your formal self where you could take pressure like before.
 
Grow old most impotant is must still use your brains . Must go out and talk to peoples , take care of granchildens , watch pretty girl . No need a lot of money to do this things .
When man retire , they usualy gets dementia becuase they stop working and stays at homes . But old woman like house wife grow out better , becuase they still take care of all family matter .
Our brains is a muscles , use it or loose it !



 
Sometimes wife to blame for asking too much questions when ah lau go walk walk too often and too long outside. Then ah lau dont go and stay at home to avoid nagging and questioning.:p

Afew of my mentors still dont want to retire in name sake so that they fly around and can go cheong without being questioned by their old lady.:D

In the end, it's a matter of choice of lifestyle and regime. But food supplements do play a part and need to take and maintain as early as possible in life.

I once had a friend whose life turned topsy turfy because of his greediness and stupidity..He went bonkers and became mentally unstable due to the harrasment of the Ah Longs.. All this happened because he landed himself deep in debts with the Ah Longs.. And he was betrayed by his woman who took all the loan money and fled from Spore leaving him at the mercy of these loansharks.. He could not keep up with the weekly payments and these Ah Longs splashed paint on his front door nearly every week.. He became his family's pariah and they drove him out of the house.. many people shunned him because he kept asking them for loans and he never repay their money... In the end he turned to drugs and became a hard core addict.. Out of desperation he stole a taxi driver's Iphone few months back.. Now he's in jail for theft and possesion of drugs...
 
thanks brudders!

that's exactly how i felt, i cannot take pressure that i used to take before. i feel that my mental capacity is stronger when i was in my 20's. I went seeking help but was useless. nowadays, i drive cab, listen to music, chat with passengers sometimes. life was indeed less stressful when i was working in corporate environment. slowly, i am improving. i am not sure if you all remember how i mentioned that i was being harrassed at work and after work during my days at Spore technologies(as in pple checking on you) that i went to see MP and was fucking useless. it was indeed an unforgettable experience cos' the stress inflicted was very great! imagine having to cope with mission critical work(mrt) and unecessary nonsense, all thanks to lky's cronies. hope they kanna bad karma!

i suspect that i have a breakdown that's when i need to breathe in and out when stress is inflicted.

i also had a friend from teenage years, he was a top student in his primary school. for some reasons, he borrowed money from me and run road to china. recently, i met up his brother coincidentally and manage to contact him to find out how he is, i already wrote off what he owe me. i did not probe what he did but only heard from him that one day, he will come back to spore. by then, probably, i will be residing in phuket or elsewhere.:D

i have a friend who has great psle score. went to sap school for sec edu. now working as security guard. there was a few good years who he did nothing but scoop up at home. refuse to find job or meet friends. don't know what make he snap. i guess he probably couldn't meet with the high standard he set for himself and thus become despair.
 
at least he is working and not bumming around at home. i can understand how he feel but that is not the correct approach to life. just last month, after chatting with a passenger, he asked me to work for him. i did not call him back as i am too comfortable driving cab, there are lots of pple whom i met out there out of pure coincidence, more interesting!
