Aging & Eating
To slow biological aging, consider eating more vegetables and fruits, and limiting red and processed meat, fast food, and sugary drinks.
Sleep & Mental Strength
Getting sufficient sleep is likely to enhance emotional well-being via regulation of unwanted thoughts or memories.
Brain Health & Meat
Substituting meat with nuts or beans, and/or reducing meat consumption, is likely to preserve cognitive functioning and reduce the risk of dementia.
Kindness Improves Mental Strength & Social Connection
Kindness is mutually beneficial. It improves the lives of others, while enhancing empathy, resilience, memory, and social connection, and improving symptoms of anxiety and depression.
New Year, Never Too Late
Incremental lifestyle changes can improve brain health and mental strength. It is Never Too Late to start.
Gratitude-Minded
Gratitude-minded people tend to be less lonely, more stress-resilient, and more optimistic, likely because they are more tuned in to the good things in life.
The Mental Strength of Savoring
Savoring increases our capacity for joy by enhancing our reward sensitivity.
Brain Health & Polyphenols
To positively impact the trajectory of brain aging, consider reducing sugar and simple carbs, and consuming green tea and Mankai.
Restorative Contribution of Dogs
Dogs improve many aspects of our mental and physical health.
Diet & Anxiety
A high-fat diet increased anxiety in rats. Decreasing fat and sugar, and increasing fruit, vegetables, and fiber can improve gut microbiome balance, reduce inflammation, improve immune function, and reduce anxiety.
Self-Compassion Micropractice
Anxiety, self-doubt, and perfectionism lead to suffering. A daily self-compassion micropractice can improve self-awareness and reduce stress.
Impacts of Sleep & Exercise on the Brain
Brain healthy habits, such as sufficient sleep and regular exercise, can positively impact brain function and cognitive capacity for up to 15 days.
Sugar & Memory
To improve the health and function of your hippocampus, which empowers your memory and expertise, consider reducing your intake of sugar and simple carbs.
Brain Health Score Card
Higher Brain Care Scores are associated with lower risk of dementia and stroke.
Mental Health Benefits of Omega-3s
Omega-3 fatty acids may be protective against the negative impacts of stress. They may reduce stress hormone levels and decrease inflammation. They may also reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Prioritize Sleep to Optimize Cognition
Getting enough sleep is imperative to allow the brain to cycle through the memory consolidation activation, and the restorative rest periods, necessary for optimized cognitive function.
Blueberries and the Brain
Eating blueberries and strawberries regularly can improve memory and executive function, as well as reduce age-related cognitive decline.
Workplace Climate & Employee Well-being
Workplace well-being may require customized interventions for employees. Men report greater well-being than women; older employees report greater well-being than younger employees; employees with greater remote work opportunities report greater well-being than those with fewer remote work opportunities; and senior leaders report greater well-being than junior employees. Perhaps leaders should ask employees what might make their work easier to accomplish and what might improve their well-being.
How Meditation Calms an Overactive Brain
Meditation can increase mindfulness, calm an overactive brain, reduce stress hormones, and improve attention, concentration, and memory. Consider trying guided meditations on an app or website.
