Brain Food

There are several things that you can do to make your body healthier and make your mind more aware and alert. In “Psychology Today,” it stated that vitamins C and E are great for the brain when it comes to memory loss and Alzheimer’s. If someone takes regular nutrients and has a consistent exercise routine then their minds will work to their full potential for a long time. When someone takes vitamin C and E it has been proven that is can prevent Alzheimer’s disease and it can slow down the rate of memory loss.

Vitamins are a great choice because there is very little to no risk to it. Researchers have tested this out in about 5,000 Utah residents. In these particular people that were tested, it was found that the vitamins alone worked excellent, more so than taking a multivitamin. It is so important to keep your mind and body going strong, but sometimes it is easier said than done. Taking a few vitamins a day can help boost anyone’s body just a little more.

Do some Amputees have an advantage?

In the New York Times on January 10, 2008, there was an article about a South African man who has both of his legs amputated. The article stated that the International Association of Athletics Federations says that this man, Oscar Pistorius, has an unfair advantage over the other able bodied athletes. If this is the case, he will not be able to run in the Olympics. this is a main who has broken several records. I found this article to be quite interesting because the technology over the years has become so amazing. When Pistorius was 11 months old he had to get both of his legs amputated. If he would have been born 30 years earlier, the I.A.A.F would not be having this discussion.

I think that the main thing that I really like about this article is the attitude that Pistorius had about the issue. He had such a positive attitude about his "disability", but to him he does not have a disibility. I wish that more people could be like him. He is not complaining about his legs, but instead he is greatful for what he has.
