SRINU-KRIYA- SUPER- CENTENARIAN - 4

SRINUKRIYA SUPER CENTENARIAN – 4

Hai friends,

 

                         These naturally blessed Super Centenarian Sisters are Grandmaa’s of my scientific guide – Srinivas Nemani, Kakinada – A.P. – IND, who always collects Neuro topics globally. 

                        Ageing muscle appears to be “Anabolically” resistant to nutrients compared to young and healthy muscle.   Exercise can overcome this.  Banana + Whey Protein is rapidly digested and leads to greater protein gains compared with casein protein, particularly in elders.  A recent study in healthy men and women confirmed the greater thermic response of a protein-rich meal compared to a carbohydrate-rich meal.  One Hypothesis to explain reduced food intake is linked to reduction in olfactory capacity.   The decaffeinated coffee with high chlorogenic acid content increased alertness, reduced feelings of mental fatigue, and decreased the number of reported headaches.  Better to live with same age group.  “LIVE LONGER” but to “LIVE BETTER”.

                        Hot new field of biology called Epigenetics, which studies how environmental influences can etch chemical modifications in DNA and thus introduce life long changes in the activity of genes (jumped genes).  Environmental influence produce new neurons from stem cells (Neuro genesis), and fix them in the needed circuits.  Epigenetics can produce new genes, neurogeneses produce new neurons, both works on environmental influences .  Genes probably account for only 25 percent of longevity.  Environment can fill the remaining 75%.   And don’t forget this chance (opportunity). 

                        Ayurveda calculated the human average span of life as thousands months (Thousand full moon days) (83 years).  For the longevity they follows Kayakalpa & Panchakarma Chikitsa.  Generally they follows Shat Kriyas, Herbal & Minerals.   For more details visit our previous archives.

                        The Hippocampus is particularly Vulnerable to the neurotoxic effects of obesity, diabetes mellitus,  Hyper Extension, Hypoxic Brain Injury, Obstructive Sleep Apnoea, Bipolar Disorder, Clinical Depression and Head Truma.   Age related atrophy in the Hippocampus is the main hurdle to long life.  With the ageing process, the Hippocampus has a greater prosperity to atrophy than other regions of the brain.  The rate of Hippocampal Atrophy accelerate with a number of Diseases.  Reversal of this process can be achieved by improving physical fitness, and by engaging in cognitively stimulating meditation practices. 

                        Neuroplastic changes with cognitive stimulation are not limited to the hippocampus.  Meditation, juggling, mirror reading, reading, writing, cross world puzzles, exercise, train sessions increase grey matter volume in the frontal, parietal and temporal lobes.  Neuroplaticity and an increase in the volume of grey matter are not unique to hippocampus.  Indeed challenging activities that require intense training and practice can also cause an increase in the volume of cortical areas, engaged in performing the specific task. 

                        Scientific studies have documents changes in the, cerebellar vermis in basket ball players, in the parietal lobe in mathematicians, in broca’s area in symphony orchestra musicians and in the sensorimotor cortex in ballet dancers.    The structural changes in the brain could be the result of axonal remodeling, synaptogenesis,  Gliogensis, neurogensis, an increase in neural cell size, or an increase intestinal fluid or blood flow with in the organ.  Meditation have a protective effect and increasing effect on hippocampus, and important parts of the brain.  (Contd… 5 of 9) 11^th  November.

SRINU- KRIYA - SUPER- CENTENARIANS - 3

SRINU KRIYA – SUPER CENTENARIANS  - 3

Hai Friends,

                        As the brain ages, the graymatter shrinks and the white matter starts to breakup.  Shrinkage is particularly evident in the prefrontal cortex, where high-level thinking and reasoning takes place, and the Hippo-campus, which place center role memory.   There are fewer receptors and other protein too, but most dramatic fall in the amount of dopamine a neuro transmitter, whose many functions include movement control, general motivation and learning.  From early adult hood onwards, Dopamine levels drops by about 10% per decade, making it a powerful marker of brain aging 

                        Aerobic exercise can slow cognitive decline by stimulating production of BDNF, which help the growth of new blood vessels, not only in the muscles being exercised but in the brain as well.   Several studies have shown that people of all ages can improve their performance on specific computer tasks in which they train.   Grand child wins short runs – Grandfa’s wins marathon runs.  Low metabolic rate is also important.

                        Shortening of telomeres (DNA caps on the tips of the chromosomes) disturbs stem cells.  With a ready supply of active stem cells, older muscles might be made stronger, falling brains could become less prone to cognitive lapses, and aged bone marrow could be better able to produce the infection fighting T-and B-Cells.   If stem cells in older people could be made to retain their effectiveness, perhaps broken bones and skin wounds could be made to heal faster and, with time, we might be able to treat the conditions of oldage such as dementia and heart disease.   A landmark experiment showed the dramatic effect that external factors could have on stem cells.  Stem cells in old tissue enliven their environment and the signal can carry. 

                        The Gut Microbiota appears to be driven by what people eat.  Elder people olfactory lobe losses it’s efficiency, so they typically cannot taste or smell as well as they used to, decreasing the appeal of some foods.  Older people tend to have a much more balanced diet, which more fiber, protein chicken and only fish.  Telomerase reverse transcriptse (TERT) resulted in 24% extension of longevity without increasing the risk of cancers.(Contd... 4-9) 1st November.

DIWALI - BIOLOGICAL- CLOCK - LIGHT- THERAPY

DIWALI – BIOLOGICAL CLOCK -  LIGHT  THERAPY

Hai Friends,

            Yogi’s, always concentrate on their inner tiny light in meditation.  They think that the tiny light is the nano particle of the totality light (Neevarastu Sukanti Vidyulekheva).   To attain a single creativity thought they control Light (Trataka), Sound (Nadha) in their mediation.  “The Awareness of the inner light” development is the symbolism of Diwali.

            The Neuro Scientists are doing lot of research on eyes and their inner parts stem cell technology is growing fast.  Stem cells give rise to all the organs in the body, a process that continues to fascinate and mystify the scientific world. A leading Japanese Group demonstrated the growth of both Human and mouse retina in laboratory dish. The event enables better understanding of brain development and may lead to evolute treatment for eye diseases.  In 10.5 days they developed three distint cell layer’s of retina, rods and cones, horizontal, bipolar and amacrine cells, and ganglion cells.  Ganglion cells play maximum role in eye.  Two functions sight, Biological Clock Rythams, are conducting by the eye.  Each of our eyes is also essentially two organs in one.

            Yogis practice trataka (Yogic Gazing) for developing eyesight, solving the Psychic Problems and to evolute their brain to the Max.  In between 1880-90 Ramprasad of Theosophy did a lot of research on the Yogi’s, who are living in cave’s, without any sun shine (Biological cycles) for number of months. They lead very simple lives.  All the Yogi’s ambition is to complete 40 thousand Hours of Meditation, to attain full evolution of their brain (Poorna) and enjoying the meditational bliss. Only for their undisturbed practice, they live in caves.  At present we have sound proof, air conditioned houses.  So we don’t need any caves. He lived and moved along with cave Yogis and observed their life style.  Finally he gave the most valuable research information in his book, nature’s finer forces and Tatwas.  Cave’s maintain the air conditioned atmosphere, they provide echo sound, which will improve Nadha.  They practice Agnisara Kriyas, Bhastrika Pranayama, Trataka.  By this practice they maintained, biological cycles, sound health and long life.  Alway’s they kept fireplace in the caves for gazing.  For their diet they cooked potatoes in fire and hot springs.  Brains Biological clock regulates body’s seasonal activities. Such as sleep, body temperature, feeding and breeding, with the help of sunshine.

            At present Neuro Scientists are searching the hidden organ in our eyes.  Evolution, in fact, may have played an important role in pushing the brain toward ever greater energy efficiencies When a nerve cell communicates with another, the brain uses just a millionth of the energy that a digital computer expends to perform, the equivalent operation.  Already scientists have built ‘Neuromorphic’ Electronic Circuits that Mimic Aspects of the brain’s signaling Net work.  Neural Activation of  the (30 to 80 Hertz) Gama frequency band has attracted the attention of researchers who have found that patients with schizopherenia and Autism show decreased levels of gama.  Neurons in the Hippocampus and the cortical area is strongly influenced by theta band (4 to 8 Hertz).  The emerging field of optogenetics, which combines genetic engineering with light to observe and control group of neurons is allowing researchers to scrutinize individual Neural Circuits.  An approach that will revolutionize the study of brain function.  Optogenitic stimulation can potentially target problem cells much more precisely than can electrodes used in DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation).

            Vision occurs when the rods and cones of the retina detect light and signals to the visual cortex at the back of the brain.  The rods and cones convey the signals to the brain vianeurons called retinal ganglion cells, which extends their axons down the optic nerve.  These are called as photosensitive ganglion cell and they produce, previously unknown pigment called Melanopsin, that enables them to sense light directly.  The photo sensitive ganglion cells send information to the brains main BILOGICAL CLOCK.  Biological Clock adjust the body to the cycles on night and day to common people, blind and animals.  If the cycles disturbs they rise the risk of cardiovascular diseases, Gastrointestinal Distrass, Cancer and Metabolic Syndrome, Type 2 Diabetes, Sleep, Sex.   The birds have light sensing cells in their brain.  It turns out that a surprising amount of light can penetrate the feathers, skin and skull of a bird to activate these cells.  Human Biological clock is established in the SUPRACHIASMATIC  Neclus (SCN) of Hypothalamus.

             According to the “Hata yoga Pradipika” of Swatmarama (Authorised text on Yoga) Trataka Eradicates all the eye diseases, fatigue and sloth and closes the doorways creating these problems.

SAIBABA gazing on the fire and listening Nadha

            RajadiRaj Yogiraj, Saibaba of Shiridi, practical Nadha Yogi, follower of saint Kabir, expert in Shat Kriya and Khanda Dhauti, Social Worker, Humanitarian, Great Psychologist.  A simple living yogi.  I cannot define him completely.  He always used to live on ALMS and shared it to needy people and dogs.  Before 153 years, he started Dhuni (Holy fire place) in Dwarakamai Mosque in Shiridi.  Most of the time he sat infront of Dhuni, by Gazing (Trataka) on the fire and Listening Nadha.  (By Closing his right ear with hand).  By neutralizing, the two important senses (vision and sound) he maintained samadhi (Teata).  He used a brick instead of pillow to maintain a full awareness also in his sleep.  In 1975 I practiced Nadha for ten days, in Lendi Bag, Gurustan, upstairs of Samadhi Mandir, Dwarakamai, Hanuman Mandir.  Saibaba’s pious life is an encyclopedia of yoga.

            Diwali’s fire crackers stimulate photo sensitive Glia Neurons by high light and sounds.  These neurons respond more to blue light, so in trataka practice, concentrate on the center of light, where there is blue.   This practice stimulate biological clock and improves health.

            Dear friends Agnisara, Bastrika (Vagus Nerve), Trataka (Eye Glianeurons) are the Nervous & Eye Sight, exercises belonging to Yogis light therapy.  Enjoy the Diwali Bliss externally and internally, by practicing the Yogis Light Therapy.
