I have found a training method for not decreasing the function of
brain, by using "Brain function imaging device", such as functional MRI
using magnetism and optical topography using near- infrared without
giving harm to human body.
The method I have found is to repeat "Simple calculation" and "Oral
reading".
I have realized through my research that various areas of both the
right brain and left brain work much actively when people solve easy
calculation problems that are smoothly solved, or when people read
books or newspapers aloud, rather than when they solve
complicated, difficult problems.
In a word, it became evident from various data that these two methods
are effective to activate our brain function.
I think you’ve been realizing that, as we become older, our brain
becomes weaker just like our body function does in our daily lives.
Certainly, our brain function gradually weakens just as bodies do,
after passing youth age of twenties.
However, just as same as rapid decrease in physical strength and
muscular power can be prevented by walking and physical training, we
can prevent rapid decrease of our brain functions by actively using
them every day.
This book is organized based on my research. It is not aimed to guide
readers to certain high levels, but aims to have anyone repeat easy
calculations which can be solved smoothly.
You are requested to solve the easy calculations as fast as you can,
while measuring time. The faster you would be able to, the better brain
functions would work.
However, the most important thing is to keep the practice. Obtaining a
habit to keep on using your brain is what I advocate as "The
method for keeping your brain healthy".
It is not necessary to work long per time, but please keep working
every day.
