The average person has about 70-thousand thoughts per day.  That's a lot of information for the brain to process.   But what if you could make your brain more efficient?   Some experts in Dallas are teaching their patients to do just that.

It controls our thoughts, stores our memories, and drives our emotions. Without your brain, you wouldn't be you!   "There's not a single asset that you have that's not more important than your brain," according to Researcher Jennifer Zientz. 

She helps people learn to process information with a brain-building program called Smart Training. She says it's all about saving your cognitive capital.   She goes on: "over your life, what you've done with your brain is you've deposited it, you've used it in certain ways that has built up a reserve."   

Jennifer teaches patients three simple strategies:  integration is breaking down and summarizing information. Innovation is coming up with solutions to problems, and strategic attention means blocking out useless details. 

Doctor Sina Aslan studied the brains of people who completed the smart training program. Image of those brains before and after show more blood flow.  One person’s brain blood flow, as a whole improved by about 12.6 percent.   Most of the patients also increased the speed of communications across brain networks by 30-percent.  

Attorney and business owner, Chad West had four weeks of brain training.  He says it changed his way of thinking.  Chad learned the "two-one-and-none" technique. He performs the two most important tasks that require the highest level of thinking first.  He says, "it's helped my brain come up with new ideas, creative ideas. It's helped me feel more relaxed."  

It's training for your brain that could mean a sharper, more focused you!  Doctor Chapman says researchers can actually see brain changes after just twelve hours of training, but it isn't a permanent fix.  Just like our bodies, you have to keep working out your brain to see the results.   A link to the brain health website is listed below.
