let's review some good lifestyle options we can follow to maintain, and improve, our vibrant brains.
Learn what is the "It" in "Use It or Lose It"
Take care of your nutrition. Did you know that the brain only weighs 2% of body mass but consumes over 20% of the oxygen and nutrients we intake?
Things that exercise your body can also help sharpen your brain: physical exercise enhances neurogenesis.
Practice positive, future-oriented thoughts until they become your default mindset
Thrive on Learning and Mental Challenges
Aim high. Once you graduate from college, keep learning
Explore, travel. Adapting to new locations forces you to pay more attention to your environment
Make your own decisions, and mistakes. And learn from them
Develop and maintain stimulating friendships. We are "social animals", and need social interaction. Which, by the way, is why 'Baby Einstein' has been shown not to be the panacea for children development.
Laugh. Often. Especially to cognitively complex humor
