Email from Alzheimer's Research and Prevention Foundation   Dear John, What's the big deal about meditation anyway? Well, beyond that it's accessible, safe, affordable, and quick... it's incredibly effective! Kirtan Kriya is one the best brain tools you can ever use – and your team at ARPF will teach you all about it on March 17-21. MEDITATE FOR YOUR MEMORY CHALLENGE We will practice every day of the week at 12 pm PT / 1 pm MT / 2 pm CT / 3 pm ET / 9 pm Europe We will teach you how to meditate, practice together, and then hold a Q&A for a total of 30 minutes. Kirtan Kriya (KK) improves general brain function: It increases blood flow to significant areas in the brain that have to do with memory. It improves neurotransmitter function. It has been shown to activate other areas of the brain like the anterior and posterior cingulate gyrus. It increases gray matter in the brain, which is a marker of anti-aging. It decreases inflammation. It improves genetics. REGISTER FOR FREE We've seen that KK stops Subjective Cognitive Decline (SCD) from progressing because SCD can develop into Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), and that can also develop into Alzheimer's. It also slows the progression of MCI. Studies at the University of Pennsylvania showed that people who practiced Kirtan Kriya reversed their memory loss and even two participants with Alzheimer's improved their memory. Therefore, Kirtan Kriya is a strong brain-activation meditation and does everything possible to enhance global cognitive function to prevent Alzheimer's. These findings are all thanks to over two decades of research on Kirtan Kriya sponsored by ARPF and supported by your donations. REGISTER We can't wait to see you March 17-21st!  Yours in Brain Health, Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D. President / Medical Director Alzheimer’s Research and Prevention Foundation (ARPF) www.alzheimersprevention.org [email protected] Prevention Editor, Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease PS: Your ARPF still has operational responsibilities and we are deeply grateful for any support you can offer.
