I wake anywhere from 4am to 6am naturally & my mind starts spooling up ideas that stimulate me into full wakefulness & get me pumped for the day! Movement good the brain's of people of all ages, go out there & get it, put more life into your time!
Morning Movements
I just got back from a 0.6 mile warmup walk to get the mail from the main office :) The outdoor lighting helps to wake me up more! There is an upside to light pollution if you use it constructively as a wakefulness promoting exposure in the morning when you are getting up for the day to get going & make it happen!
Brain Boosting Movements
Physical activities like going for a walk help to get your blood flowing which improves mental performance & staves off brain decline. Emotionally, psychologically & physically healthy, activity or movement the reason we have muscles & joints & bones. Not only is movement itself life, change constant, in physics its called entropy, but movement means doing it or making it happen. Nothing happens on its own, you have to go get it, just do it says Nike & they are correct!
Active Brain
The brain very active when we are moving about in the world, on foot or on a bicycle or driving a car. Just the act of reading or typing or watching a screen keeps the brain in active analytical states trying to make sense of whats going on. Even blind & deaf people's brains are super active when they are moving about in the world, perhaps even more than in people without these sensory deficits. Proprioception a way that the brain takes nerve signals from the feet & ankles & knee's & hips & mixes that info with middle ear movement info & info from the eyes about the horizon, light levels & "what" we are looking at to create dynamic constantly changing movement control of your muscles so that you can walk or go without losing balance, to coordinate movements that are healthy for the mind & body.
Movement Uplifting & Boosts Learning
Notice that children have more energy & that they are really good at learning new things. These are related because their increased movement levels help to improve neuro-plasticity or adaptive changes in their brains that enables them to learn more rapidly than adults. Much research in neuro-cognitive decline & diseases of the brain are aimed at understanding & developing diet & drug solutions that can give adults more neuro-plastic potential or ability to learn quickly like younger active children. I mention diet because gluco-toxicity from abusing carbohydrates or sugars, one of the main causal basis of ADD & ADHD but also of Dementia & Alzheimers diseases.
Sleep Science
Sleep really important too but too much sleep can actually cause sleep inertia, where the brain releases so much melatonin that it makes for a yawning heavy sluggish day where you ideate about sleeping & want to go back to sleep. The bodies sleep wake or circadian rhythm cycle controlled by the melatonin cortisol axis elucidated with greater precision in 1999 by Dr. Charles Czeisler at the Harvard Medical School.
Sleep Restoration
When we are sleeping, our brain shrinks down to squeeze out metabolites into the cerebral spinal fluid so that the liver & kidneys can filter out the gunk. This is why our morning pee or urine output often a darker color, its full of brain metabolites & other junk collected during sleep fasting ketosis & autophagy cell repair & maintenance processes that occur when the body not digesting food & sleeping.
Staying Hydrated with Water
Human body billions of wet cells glued together by special proteins on a self assembling framework or dynamically reshaping bones responding to gravity. We have to flush this system with clean water until our pee or urine a light straw color, indicating good hydration. Staying well hydrates super important for kidney & brain health, buts its also good for the skin & digestive system or gut biome. Our special gut friends that help to break down foods into small molecules to distribute into the body, love to have a warm moist environment to thrive in. The apocrine system in the skin & glands & the membranes of all of our cells, the isotonic sodium balance of cell pressure & even cytokine signaling system all works better if the body well hydrated with clean electrolytically balanced (neutral, with ions) water :)
Pragmatic Focus
I try to do something productive, unloading the dishwasher, taking out the trash & recycling, working on a special project, studying & taking practice exams for my upcoming 4 DOL tests to get my CDL learners permit on the road to becoming a School Bus Driver :) I decided to write this blog posting while charing my 6 year old Series 1 Apple Watch & 2020 iPhone SE & Meg's Series 5 Apple Watch, I not exactly sure where her iPhone 12 mini is as the moment or I would give it some charge too.
Knowledge Prolongs Life of Devices
30-80% charged // keeps lithium ions from being lost to the carbon anode caused by 100% charging, while it also protects the battery from losing lithium ions to the cathode lithium cobalt oxide materials which causes a loss of capacity. The top 10% between 90% & 100% cause anode damage while the bottom 10% between 10% & 0% cause cathode damage. You can make your electronics batteries last up to 5X or 500% longer if you partial charge for 15-40 minutes & avoid overcharging or draining all the way to zero percent charged //
Heat & freezing cold are also bad for most common consumer electronics. With heat it causes increased destruction vibration in the chips or integrated circuits like the SOC or CPU & GPU & memory. With freezing cold, water vapor or moisture in the air can stick to the cold surfaces causing soft shorts or corrosion of unsealed metal wires or connectors where the chips are bonded to the logic board // This is why most laptops & desktops & even some tablets have cooling fans to pull in cooler room air to chill the hot chips //
