This week's lecture was about the importance of the microbiome. This term describes all of the bacteria, fungi, and viruses that live on and in the human body. There are ten times more microorganisms than human cells. If i were a philosopher, I would ponder how human we really are. Thankfully for you, I am not! The message is quite simple. High fiber foods, such as grains, beans and vegetables will feed the good microorganisms. They will release healthy compounds that you w

Today’s LIFT session was about how the limbic system and the frontal cortex interact. Messages get sent back and forth between these areas of the brain. The interesting part of this presentation was how Dr. Morton applied this knowledge to help you feel better. At university, I came across the limbic system. My lectures were about the functions of the different parts of the limbic system. I was desperately trying to figure out an acronym or a diagram to memorize the informat

This episode examined how people are wired together emotionally with interacting limbic systems. One topic that struck me was how society has turned to social media to meet relationship needs. The Facebook Experiment Study from the Happiness Research Institute was presented. The researchers randomized the participants into two groups for a one-week period: half of the participants used social media as usual and the other half abstained from social media.

Thanks for all the feedback and positive comments regarding the importance of the Lift Project. I am glad that you feel as passionate about it as me. he third session was just as fascinating as the other two, The limbic system is stimulated by light, sound, smell and taste! A lux is a measure of light intensity. For example, the limbic system needs 10 000 lux for 30 minutes a day to function optimally. Morning light works best which is great because morning light also rese

I completed the second session of the Lift Project on Sunday. What I heard was unbelievable! In fact, I spent the last few days checking sources to see if it is true. I believe that I have enough evidence to blog about this topic. Proprioceptors are nerve endings located in your muscles that can pass nerve impulses to your thalamus, a part of the limbic system. Our physical activity has decreased tremendously over the last 60-70 years. This lack of activity is understimulatin

My first session with the Lift Project was amazing!! Dr. Morton is an informative and engaging presenter. One of the points that he made was that enduring happiness is comprised of 10% Life Circumstances, 50% Genetic, and 40% within your control. I thought that was very interesting. I want to thank people for taking the time to read this post. I appreciate your dedication to a healthy lifestyle. For the people who signed up for the Course, what did you like about the presenta
