In order to keep up with my busy life, maintaining optimal health and an optimal brain becomes a top priority. When your brain is functioning well, you have more energy and life just gets better.⠀
⠀
1. Eat plenty of healthy fat. My brain worked pretty well before but embracing fat (even good saturated fats like coconut oil and MCT oil) pushed my mental clarity through the roof. ⠀
⠀
2. We need about 30 grams of protein per meal to build muscle. When you lose muscle, you age faster and your brain takes a huge hit! Eat protein at every meal, including omega-3 eggs, protein shakes, nut butters, or even fatty fish for breakfast.⠀
⠀
3. At least 75% of your plate, by volume, should be filled with colorful plant foods. These colorful super-foods come loaded with brain-boosting stuff like phytonutrients. Enjoy an array of colorful plant foods like blueberries and dark leafy greens like kale, Swiss chard, spinach, watercress, and arugula.⠀
⠀
4. Avoid sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, trans fats, food additives, and preservatives, all of which poison your brain and disrupt your biochemistry.⠀
⠀
5. Exercise improves memory, learning, and concentration. It also helps to improve your mood, boost your energy, and reduce overall stress in your body and mind.⠀
⠀
6. Learn how to ACTIVELY relax. To engage the powerful forces of the mind on the body, you must DO something. Try meditation or learning something new.⠀
⠀
There are so many other things that I do on a daily basis to keep my brain sharp, like taking supplements, taking a steam or sauna, drinking purified water, and avoiding neurotoxins. But, the steps above are the most important ones that anyone can take starting today.
