Healthy Habits for Healthy Brains
The brain is an organ and therefore, in order to maximize its capacity, you need to take care of it just like any other part of your body.
What makes your brain stand out from the rest of your organs is its intellectual function. You use it to memorize and keep memories, and to learn by gathering information. It helps us organize daily tasks, and communicate with each other. We are nothing without our brains.
Can you imagine how a poor-functioning brain can affect your life? It can cause havoc to your relationships, your career and even your finances. Of course, we don’t need any of these problems in our lives. So, to make sure that you have a healthy brain, that allows you to function optimally, you need to start practicing some healthy habits. Here are some really good habits to start with:
Sleep at least 7 hours a night – It takes at least two days for your body to recover from all night socializing. And your brain needs even more recovery time. Healthy brains need sleep.
Let the sun rewire your brain – This may sound a bit crazy but there really is unseen brain activity that connects you with the sun. Not that convinced yet? Well, notice that there are rhythms, patterns, and seasons in this world you live in and that somewhat has a connection to your brain. That’s why it knows night and day, winter and summer.
Take supplements – Fish oil which contains omega 3 fatty acids, is particularly good for your brain. Another really good oil is coconut oil. It supplies important nutrients to the brain which can delay, and possibly reverse dementia symptoms. Maximize the essential nutrients for optimal brain health. Show some love to your brain, by taking in the food and supplements that it needs for proper function.
The brain is a complex organ and so it needs complex caring.
