Get Started - Quantified Self - 0 views

  • If your project requires a lot of work every day, you’re more likely to drop it before you learn anything useful.
  • Try a one number baseline: A baseline measurement can be as simple as a single number representing a single measurement.
  • collect and organize some of the most useful advice about self-tracking
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • How do you get started with a self-tracking project?
  • The activities are: Questioning, Observing, Reasoning, and Consolidating Insight.
  • questions about a tool you’re currently using, try posting in the QS Forum.
  • Retrospective Annotation

    "So: How do you get started with a self-tracking project? You can picture your project as involving four distinct activities. Although these activities blend into each other, they do each have their own particular flavor, and by outlining them separately we think we can give you a coherent and functional recipe. The activities are: Questioning, Observing, Reasoning, and Consolidating Insight."

Just Putting Patients At The Center Of Health Care Is Not Enough To Improve Care | Heal... - 0 views

  •  
    "n the nearly 20 years since the publication of this report, numerous stakeholders have sought to reinvent and redesign the US health care system to make it, as the report called for, safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable. Researchers have engaged in rigorous and innovative assessments to identify promising approaches. Policy makers, practitioners, and payers have made changes to health policy and clinical practice and instituted various payment reforms and demonstration programs. Yet, despite the tremendous work of the past 20 years, we have not achieved a health care system that is truly patient centered and equitable."

Is Red Meat Really Good for You? | LinkedIn - 0 views

  •  
    "The Annals of Internal Medicine just published a series of articles claiming: "New guidelines: No need to reduce red or processed meat consumption for good health. A rigorous series of reviews of the evidence found little to no health benefits for reducing red or processed meat consumption."   Yet a careful reading of these articles reveals the exact opposite! They found that dietary patterns with a moderate reduction in red and processed meat consumption had a 13% lower rate of premature death from all causes, a 14% reduction in cardiovascular disease mortality, an 11% decrease in cancer mortality, and a 24% decrease in the risk of type 2 diabetes.  "

NeuroGym - The Science - 0 views

    "Repeatable, Practical, Proven, Peer-Reviewed Science From cradle to the grave, your brain will process more events than there are stars in our universe. As your body's "central processing unit," your brain is in charge of a staggering array of functions, from processing and perceiving stimuli to motor control and memory storage. Habits and beliefs programmed into your mind over a lifetime of responding to experiences are stored in long-term memory, and may cause you to resist new ways of doing things. However, rapid shifts in neural activity can create new associations, habits or beliefs.1 NeuroGym's "Innercising" methods help you to adopt new perceptions and behaviors and solve old problems quickly and efficiently. Moreover, Innercising® applies practical mental training techniques shown through scientific research to improve mental and emotional functioning. 1. Sánchez-Cañizares, J. (2014).

Neuroplasticity: This Is How to Rewire Your Brain for Success - 0 views

  •  
    "Neuroscience confirms that your brain changes throughout your lifetime, which is a concept known as neuroplasticity. It's the term used to describe a sequence of processes that take place in your brain in response to incoming stimuli. In other words, your emotions, behaviors, experiences, and thoughts physically change the way your brain functions."

At the Cusp of Solving Cognitive Aging? - Mike Merzenich - Medium - 0 views

  • Bookmark story
  • the ACTIVE Study.
  • hree different theories
  • ...24 more annotations...
  • memory
  • reasoning
  • speed of processing
  • ACTIVE tracked people for 10 years
  • 74 to 84
  • who would have expected faster cognitive processing speed 10 years later
  • The big question was do those gains transfer to real-world activities.And, the answer is: they do.
  • At the end of 10 years
  • about three years more protection against decline
  • speed training
  • ● 38% less risk of onset of depressive symptoms● 30% less risk of deepening of depressive symptoms● 68% stronger feeling of confidence and control● 48% less risk of at-fault car crashes
  • I (Mike Merzenich) have spent decades studying brain plasticity — the brain’s ability to change (at any age), chemically, structurally and functionally.
  • What changes in the brain as it gets older?
  • basic science question
  • every single thing we measured in the aging brain changed (and none for the better).
  • The top row
  • we built a brain-training program designed to make a rat’s brain faster and more accurate.
  • to improve auditory precision and speed.
  • It turns out that this kind of brain training — continuously and progressively challenging the speed and accuracy of brain processing — improves every aspect of brain health we could measure.
  • we could build, test, refine and validate a training program to improve all the major systems of the brain.
  • plasticity-based training
  • cognition (eg, speed, attention, memory, executive function)
  • quality of life (eg, mood, confidence, self-rated health)
  • dementia?
