Ingredients: Science has visual evidence of this brain cell growth process. Thanks to MRI technology, we can see learning centers in the human brain light up and witness the birth of neural pathways when we try something new. These signs of activity and growth are visible even in the elderly. Although you may learn new things more slowly as you get older, your capacity is largely unchanged. What's really exciting is that new experiences needn't be dramatic or life changing to have these effects.

Notes: I put this in because I need desperately to grow new cells. I know we are scared of memory problems watching Mom and Dad, so we need to know how to stop the process. Change things in your life on a regular basis so you don't have the same problem of watching the brain cells go bye-bye.
