• Studies have found that the human brain works best when
  the stomach is empty. Researchers found that an empty stomach produces ghrelin, a hormone that carries the message to the brain that the stomach is hungry. The interesting thing is that this hormone performs other functions as well. Ghrelin stimulates and heightens the performance of the hippocampus, the region in the brain that handles learning, memory, and spatial analysis, for keeping us alert, active and focused. This, of course, doesn't imply that we should never eat, but rather points to the fact that we need to be conscious of how much we eat. **"You shouldn't keep eating through the day. If you are below thirty years of age, three meals a day will fit well into your life. If you are over thirty, it is best to reduce it to two meals a day". Our body and brain work at their best only when the stomach is empty. Be conscious and eat in such a way that within two-and-a-half hours, the food moves out of the stomach bag, and within twelve to eighteen hours, it is completely out of the system. If you maintain this simple awareness, you will experience much more energy, agility, and alertness. These are the ingredients of a successful life irrespective of what you have chosen to do.
• AVOID Brinjal (Egg plant) vegetable completely.

YOGA For SHARPENING MEMORY - An ancient old custom....    

During Ganesha Chaturthi festival we come across a unique custom especially in South India where, the devotees perform squats (sit-ups) holding their left ear with the right hand and right ear with the left hand.  Religiously this is done as a mark of respect and obeisance to the elderly God Sri Ganesha (Ganapathi).  This convention we come across not only during Ganesha Chaturthi festival but also whenever a devotee visits Sri Ganesha temple or worships Lord Ganesha.

This action is referred to as Thorpikarnam or Thoppukarnam. In Telugu language it is called Gunjillu.  In fact this is an Indian culture that we come across in ancient Gurukula system of education where Gurus (teachers) asks their pupils to practice this technique.  Even most us would have come across in schools even today, teachers asking students to perform this action as a token of penalty for not performing homework or for not answering a question or for making noise in the class room.   Let us see what is the logical/scientific reasoning behind this technique?

The physical body is a complicated subtle electronic equipment; when proper energy wiring connection is made, it produces the right results. The right ear lobe corresponds to the left brain and the left ear lobe corresponds to the right brain.

When the right ear lobe is gently squeezed with the left thumb and left index finger with the thumb outside, it produces the necessary energy connection. This connection causes the left brain and pituitary gland to become energized and activated.

Similarly, when the left ear lobe is gently squeezed with the right thumb and right index finger with the thumb outside, it produces necessary energy connection, which causes the right brain and pineal gland to become energized and activated. 

This ancient Indian custom and practice has been reinvented and is being endorsed across the world as Super Brain Yoga, a technique to stimulate and energize and recharge the brain and its functioning.

It is based on the principles of subtle energy and ear acupuncture holding the ear tips. Sit-ups would activate the Mooladhara Chakra and raise the energy levels in the body. In fact, the Hindu customs of Ladies/Gents wearing ear studs/rings at the tip of the ears is based on the above concept. It increases the blood flow in the memory cells in the brain and stimulates neural pathways via acupressure points in the earlobe sharpening the intelligence. It is being practiced and prescribed as a therapy for all ages to enhance health.
