HEALTHY MIND, HEALTHY BODY
If you stay healthy in mind and
body, you can remain productive well beyond your 80’s. Research shows that a
healthy body results in a healthy mind. But it also works the other way: change
your brain, according to Dr. Amen, and you’ll change your body. Dr.
Amen’s work proves that if you boost your brain, you’ll improve your overall
health, skin, weight and energy! Dr. Amen’s work proves that you can change the brain you were born with for the
better.
Exercise and nutrition greatly affect
mental capacity. Luckily, it’s never too
late to start exercising, eating healthy, or retraining your brain. Getting in
shape and staying in shape are easier than ever. So if you’ve been putting off
any of those things, why wait?
One of the easiest and most vital
things that you can do to keep your brain cells happy so that you maintain high
levels of memory function is to be well oxygenated. Force yourself to yawn and take 4 deep
breaths through your nose. (Other great
ways to get oxygenated include walking, bicycling, dancing, table tennis,
tennis, yoga, etc. In general, aerobic
exercise is great for oxygen intake and blood circulation.) Avoid things that deplete oxygen such as smoking,
chemicals, not sleeping, not eating well and stress.)
Other things that you can start
doing today to help your brain and body: drink lots of water to stay hydrated,
think positive, forgive, practice gratitude, connect with others, hum or sing,
and learn something new, (even if learning something new means learning a new
word).
The message is simple: take good
care of your mind and body.
