To support your daily skincare routine, it is also important for you to take some extra care over the weekend to get your skin ready for the week ahead. Although some experts recommend exfoliation as a daily routine, I recommend that you do it once or twice a week. This is quite sufficient for good skin health. What is Exfoliation? Exfoliation is the process of removing old, dead skin cells that remain on the outermost surface of your skin. This is an important part of facial skin care and body treatment. Exfoliation, when done correctly, leaves your skin looking and…
Programming really isn’t that difficult or mysterious. If you can write step-bystep instructions directing someone to your house, you can write a program. The hardest part about programming is identifying all the little problems that make up the big problem that you’re trying to solve. Because computers are completely stupid, you need to tell them how to do everything. If you’re giving a friend instructions to get to your house, for example, you may write down the following information: 1. Go south on Highway I-5. 2. Get off at the Sweetwater Road exit. 3. Turn right at the light. 4.…
For as long as modern medicine had existed, doctors believed that the anatomy of the brain was fixed at maturity. The potential to change—whether for a person born with a learning disability, a victim of brain injury, a dementia sufferer, or simply someone looking to improve how their brain worked—was considered an impossibility. Your cognitive life, according to science, would play out like this: your brain, the organ responsible for consciousness, would undergo a fierce period of growth and organization up to age twenty-five—the peak state of your mental hardware— only to begin a long, gradual decline until the end…

To fill a need: Many people learn programming with no intention of becoming a full-time, professional programmer. They just want a program that solves a particular problem, but they can’t find a program that does it, so they write the program themselves. A psychologist who specialized in dream interpretation used his knowledge and a program known as ToolBook to create and sell DreamScape, a program that interprets the meaning of dreams, as shown in Figure 1-2. Whatever your interests, you can write a program to solve a specific problem that others may find useful as well. For a new or…
Our brains are massive oxygen consumers. Twenty-five percent of every breath you take is going directly to support the ravenous metabolic needs of your brain, and ensuring that your blood lipids are healthy is one way of keeping your cognitive power supply free of interruption. Thankfully, there are some other ways of increasing healthy blood flow to the brain: Eat dark chocolate. Compounds in dark chocolate (called polyphenols) have been shown to boost brain perfusion, or blood flow to the brain. As we learned with Genius Food #4, stick to 80% or higher for the cocoa content (ideally 85% or…

I remember eating my first omelet like it was yesterday. (What, you don’t?) We were in the kitchen of our New York City apartment when my mom whisked up an egg to make an omelet for me. I was seven or eight. My mom was always afraid of heart disease, having had a father who passed from it, which probably explained why growing up I never saw her eating eggs. Their cholesterol-rich yolks, after all, had been in the national doghouse for decades as a causative player in heart disease. One night, however, she offered to cook one for me…
