The more you know the more you learn. (Not the learn the more you know.)Next generation concerns and solutionsThe brain holds the key to relationships and communication (people business)2Our Brain Needs1. Oxygen
2. Glucose
3. Water
Just standing, after being seated, adds >15% more Oxygen2 ounces of Fruit (raisins) increases long term memory by 35% & working by 20% (lasts 30 minutes)We need 8 ounces of water for every 25 pounds of body weight Use of artificial neurotransmitters, i.e. caffeine, during the first twelve years may interfere with the nervous systems ability to naturally make them for the rest of a persons life!!

Stryker 2001Recommendations:
Sleeping after learning grows TWICE as many neural dendrites as just learning the material10Stryker's work and the research following that study continue to show that it is actually the non-REM cycles that help hard wire in the information learned the previous day.Review before going to bedGet sleep!!!!Average daily sleep needs:
Preschoolers3-5 years: 11-13 hours
1st - 8th Graders (5-12 years)9-11 hours
Adolescents &Teens8.5-9.5 hours
AdultsOn average: 7-9 hours
